I've never seen one.

We have started compiling one but it seems like it depends on the State as well as the institution

I sure hope, if CC companies start to restrict payment to online casinos... that people get wise, and use Neteller, or other accepted forms of online payment for online casinos.

That would work eh?
If your state prohibits online gaming via CC, you could just use Neteller, or the like. Because using Neteller would show up as a charge on your CC to Neteller, not the online casino.

Virtually all of the major U.S.-based credit card issuers are refusing any transaction related to Internet gambling. MasterCard and Visa have stepped up their efforts to enforce the mandatory coding of all I-gaming transactions, and the few issuing and merchant banks that were processing for I-gaming have closed the doors. Third-party processors are feeling the heat as well. NETeller must now use the dreadful "7995" code; a decline in I-gaming business forced SureFire to lay off 120 employees; and PayPal, which had become the industry's most popular third-party payment option has stopped facilitating I-gaming transactions.

It seems the industry is still struggling to have an endurable payment method. FirePay is down. Before they get at Neteller, it's better to find another solution, internationally.

you might want to tell them to use preppaid atm they can fund it with their credit card

And yet, I just used a Mastercard at 2 different casinos the other day that I haven't been able to use anywhere before.
