    Last week I made two deposits onto UB within an hour of each other via my BANK checking account visa card

    -UB charges them a penny cheaper then what you put on, so that it doesn't look suspicious supposedly, and comes up as a charge from various agencies (non-gaming related), ie. you get charged 49.99 for 50.00

    -I go to use my atm to withdraw some cash and it doesn't work...i call up my bank and they ask me if I know that online gaming transactions are not allowed; otherwise they have to explain them to me. I say YES I KNOW...JUST UNFREEZE MY ACCOUNT! They unfreeze it immediately

    -NOW MY QUESTION: What happens if I try to make another deposit via the same method? I think because I deposited twice in an hour maybe that red-flagged it? Do they seize my account? Do they just freeze it and I have to call them again and pretend I don't know any better? Do they close it, and I have to go to the bank to get the money? Any ideas?

    Discreetly get your money out of that bank and move to another bank or just use a seperate bank for your poker endeavors. If you try and use that account to fund your poker account again then wow... thats absurd. Trust me just change banks.
