ePhoneCard companies blatantly acting as a gambling ewallet

I was just on Bodog, looking at their deposit options, and noticed a new option called "NUcharge". It says it's a phone card you can purchase with US credit cards, and you can fund your account with it. I previously used something similar back in the partypoker days without problems, so I figured I'd check it out. So I clicked the link to check it out, and after browsing the site a bit, I came across this little gem of a header on the 'refund' page-



I mean, we all know what the phone connect cards are used for, but to blatantly advertise "START PLAYING NOW!" made me crack up a bit. Razz

Does it say how the hell you would cash out with it though? My thinking would be that you would have to get a check sent by mail.

Or maybe you just get to make a shitload of phone calls! Win a MTT and you can call overseas for 250 hours.

You'd just use that to deposit.
Use one of bodogs other options to cash out (meaning, have them send you a check)
