They are definitely not acting "above board". I get a chuckle when I have to call in now to make a deposit and the person tells me that in order to put it through they need to make it an odd amount and that the name of the charge is going to show as something like Larrys Hardware Store. They tell me that if my cc company calls to verify the charge to make sure to tell them its not gambling related. I've had this experience with at least 4 different poker sites over the last year, and it amazes me that they are able to continue blatantly circumventing the current law without being penalized.
