They have been going after the online gaming industry for years. The only reason gambling took off was because of Pay Pal. You used to be able to charge deposits on your CC. So a lot of people would max their cards out, gamble, lose, then call their CC for a chargeback. Banks and Credit Cards companies got slammed with chagebacks in '99. so the major banks stop gambling deposits in 2000

Pay Pal was the only thing that save online casinos. Now they they depend on Western Union and Neteller.
