I know that people do not like the idea of being controlled and be told what to do with their money but in this case the money in a credit card is not yours, that money belongs to the bank, so it makes sense they put restrictions on how you use that money and while I do not like credit cards they can be a useful thing when used to get something that you really need to do right now, like repairing your car, however its use is not justified when it comes to gambling and I agree with this measure because it could curb the economic problems addicted gamblers may face in the future.
they dont have a choice but to follow whatever rules made by thier credit card issuer . its a centralized type of payment so its normal that that can be hold , restricted , or anything .
thats the downside of not using a crypto . anyway did they only restrict the use for gambling but not on other stuffs ? becuase people can still abuse the card on unwanted stuffs an that can be worst too than abusing it on gambling . just my two cents .
I think you are missing my point, it is true that a centralized entity can do whatever they want and most of the time they can get away with it, but in this case even if they are taking an unilateral decision that will affect their clients it seems to me they are completely entitled to do so as they are taking this decision when it comes to credit cards and the money there is not yours to begin with, it is a line of credit that you have available in the case you really need it for some really important reason and in my opinion gambling does not qualify as an important reason.
