Party City Bonus - How Is This Possible?

Here's how you tell that they could not be trusted one bit...

Biggest giveaway is that they even advertise on their Banking section that they accept American Express as a method of deposit.

American Express has already BANNED Online Gaming Transaction since 1999 and if the casino still advertise it (even if they don't accept it) then they are totally well... to put it in nicer words, not worth the time.
 
Under the big red banner advertising 300% No Restrictions, what do you see, a RESTRICTION:D

This is no doubt followed by further restrictions in the small print.

They are able to accept American Express because they resort to FRAUDULENTLY miscoding the transactions to appear as "shopping" of some description, rather than coding them as "gambling". This has become almost routine with US facing processors, but they got thoroughly "burned" early this year when both VISA and Mastercard launched an investigation into miscoding, and reversed many transactions that they consider were put through fraudulently (in other words, they would NOT have been allowed through had they been coded correctly).

American Express do not seem to be too bothered with robust enforcement of this rule, and I'll bet VISA and Mastercard only got tough because under UIGEA they could be penalised for not making enough of an effort to police the system.

It's not the sites themselves that process these transactions, it's third party processors. And it's not just US facing casinos have processors doing this. You'll find highly reputed companies listed at the London Stock Exchange do the same thing, for markets where most credit cards are blocked against gambling coded transactions.
