CCBill is only the 3rd party processor.

CCBill would process Visa. He can't process his own, and so uses CCBill to process Visa, Mastercard, JCB and Discover.

But you got to pay $750 to have CCBill process Visa for you because of Visa's rules concerning adult sites. Without paying that money, CCBill can not process Visa for him. Same way with all 3 big processors, pretty much (IBill, PayCom/Epoch, CCBill) I believe.

So he'd either process Visa through CCBill, or not process Visa at all.
