    I hope this is an ok place for my statement. About 3 weeks ago I made a deposit on Cake Pokers site, this was my first time depositing cash and was a little nervous, anyways I filled out the form (thought I was depositing $25.00, the minimum from my visa card) when I recieved notice from bank after charge went through $100.00 was posted, I went a little off the wall, contacted Cake Poker, wanted to know why $100.00 was taken when I was only going to deposit $25.00, they were understanding and put the money back and I redeposited $25.00, as I said I was mad and all they said was I deposited the $100.00 not them, I did not notice when I filled out the form that Cake had already pre inseted $100.00 in the space where you insert the amount you want to deposit, in the upper left hand corner in bold italics was $25.00, thats where my eyes were looking at when I filled the form out, not below at the bottom box where the $100.00 was already pre-inserted. After going back and seeing this I emailed Cake poker and apologized as I should have, but when I asked them why yhey had alreay inserted the $100.00 on the form they didn`t address that fact at all, I asked why $100.00, why not $50.00 or $ 25.00 as is the minimum for using a visa card, no answer, yesterday I go to make another deposit, card was denied, error codec400, access denied, after a couple of emails their security people told me I could only make deposits by western union and for minimum $100.00, they said this was because I had been deemed a " high exposure risk " after what happened previously. Is this legal to be labelling people for questioning how deposits are handled, as I said I was in the wrong, I apologized as I shoild have, and now I am only ok to deposit $100.00 minimums and through western union only ( there was no problem with my visa card ) What is this ? Sorry for the long post.
    Thanks for your help/input,

    Sure it's legal; it's their business...it's not like they are discriminating against you for being in a protected class or anything. They have the right to operate their business as they see fit and so whether they correctly label you as a risk or incorrectly, it's their right...no legal issues at all with that.

    As far as your second question, I have no idea.
