If we're talking Betfair, then I certainly wouldn't have any concerns at all about my money - they are a legitimate business and any adverse publicity in this area would severely affect their credibility.

The ban on credit cards was presented as a way of trying to force an Australian ban on offshore betting exchanges, if such a ban ever eventuated. As far as I know, there is no such ban in place on credit cards. The other thing is that the betting exchanges also have other methods of deposits and withdrawals, so such a ban would not be really effective anyway.

Just my AUD$0.02.
