Can you buy a money order with a credit card? I think the post office only takes cash. Not sure about other places.

As for gambling, the CC companies stopped allowing those charges years ago when they passed the ban on internet gambling. Folks were using their credit card to fund their online gaming accounts at foreign-based internet casinos. Since the activity itself was made illegal, using your card for that purpose was also disabled.
