Exactly. It's unfortunate that some are penalized for being from where they are. However, if you ran a payment processor or an affiliate program which depends on payment processing, and a high rate of fraud comes from a certain region, you'd have no choice but to ban it.

Now, no sense arguing with me on this, I'm just telling you what the main reason is.

However, I can't say as I disagree with that reason. If you only knew how many cheaters there were/are in certain countries you'd likely to shit yourself.
