I use Bank of America too - and believe me, you don't have to be nervous about this...I went through a period last year with them in which they questioned EVERY online transaction I made - gambling or bill paying...however, once they see charges to a particular merchant (i.e. a disguised gambling portal) they won't question it anymore nor block the transactions. One time, we went out of town to a land based casino resort and they "just felt" like someone else was using our card and put a block on it. We couldn't use the ATM, buy dinner, gamble....NOTHING. And because it was a Sunday, we couldn't even call the 800 number to get through to Security to have it "un-blocked". It was a nightmare. Anyway, my point is, you should be ok using it as long as you call security and verify the transaction if they block it.
I get this all the time when I travel and make charges from unusual locations. They are just making sure it is actually you using the card... Pain in the axx but generally a good thing.
