Sounds like they are taking some anti money laundering steps. While not a financial institution they may still be concerned because AML will most likely be the next big sticking point for online poker sites assuming there is ever a work-around or reversal of the UIGEA.

More info on AML:
"An entire industry has developed around providing software to analyze transactions in an attempt to identify transactions or patterns of transactions, that may constitute illegal financial activity. Financial institutions face penalties for failing to properly file CTR (Cash Transaction Report)and SAR (Suspicious Activity Report) reports, including heavy fines and regulatory restrictions, even to the point of charter revocation. These software applications effectively monitor bank customer transactions on a daily basis and, using customer historical information and account profile, provide a "whole picture" to the bank management. Transaction monitoring can include cash deposits and withdrawals, wire transfers, credit card activity, cheques (checks), share (securities) dealing and ACH activity. In the bank circles, these applications are known as "BSA software" or "AML software".

Different standards exist in different countries and dependent on the activity demand, different action. For example; in the US a deposit of US$10,000 or more requires a CTR, in Europe it is US$15,000, in Switzerland it is CHF 250,000 in many countries there is no CTR requirement. The suspicion of AML activity in the US requires the submittance of a SAR, in Switzerland a SAR will only get filed if that activity can be proved. The two examples demonstrate why in the USA thousands of SARs are filed daily. In Switzerland it is more like one or two a year."
