Mark,

It was an ANZ Visa card. Actually ANZ called me about 15 minutes after I put the transaction through to confirm that I had authorised it but it was approved with no problems.

It seems very "big brotherish" for the bank to tell you who you can and cannot do business with! Fair enough to give people the option to block their card being used for gambling transactions if they want to protect themselves but to apply a ban to all cardholders without exception seems ridiculous.
