USA players using credit cards to deposit
Why is it that on some sites, like UltimateBet, U.S. players can deposit using VISA/Mastercard. While on other sites, such as PokerStars, it says your card does not accept online gaming transactions? This becomes a real problem for me, as I have to wait and pay fees to use Epassporte.

Why wouldn't they change their processor. Is stars aware of this?

When they get caught (and I'm sure they get caught often) they face huge fines from Visa/MC. Other poker rooms probably don't want to risk the fines and be dishonest like UB does.
