Exchange warning about using crypto for gambling

This happened to me this week.

Am a sports gambler for many years, I know, it is a vice but my only one and I gamble with my hard-earned money.
This week I received a warning from a big exchange about the fact that I deposited fiat and immediately withdrew to a gambling site.
Well, I have been doing this as well for many years and so far there was no complain from their side.

I am fully KYC'ed with the exchange for some years, they know how much I earn per month and they can easily see that deposited amounts are within my means.


I went checking the terms and conditions and it is true that they do mention internet gambling as one of the prohibited activities.
Thing is, gambling is allowed in my country of residence.
Plus, the gambling sites I use are big known names, with valid licenses, not shady casinos.

Have to be careful now so it seems as for sure I will be monitored thoroughly now.

Did this happen to anyone else?

Would using an intermediary wallet to receive gambling funds be the solution?
