Coinbase and gambling

[caramba]

I received an email from Coinbase where they ask me about source of funds and want documentation.What are their stance on gambling these days? A Google search shows some examples where they have been anti gambling in the past.Does anyone have recent experience with this?
(I am not in the US and betting is legal in my country).

Since you are not in the US avoid the US exchanges, too much regulation here. I use CB for outgoing transfers only. Don't want any trouble. Had a bad experience with a source of funds inquiry at another US exchange. Had to send a copy of my tax return to get my account unlocked.

Best to check the terms for your country, but I would think they ban gambling use everywhere.

Thanks. Coinbase is the only exchange I have found so far that my bank accepts transactions to and from, so that's why I went with them, but looks like I will have to find another option now.

Applies to my country too.

Do they confiscate funds or just close accounts but let you withdraw your funds/coins? I've seen a few reports saying the former, but most reports saying the latter.

They will let you withdraw your funds before banning you

They just ask you to move your funds out of their wallet. No confiscate.

I've been very open to Bitstamp about source of funds (betting) and purpose of deposit (betting), they have been fine.
