Most traditional merchant account programs that I am aware of, prohibit the use of those accounts in high risk environments. Often they will have limits on the percentage of transactions where a card has not swiped (in person).
It is unlikely that a small to medium size "High Risk" adult webmaster would be able to keep that account when chargebacks start coming in.
The iBill's of the world, like them or not are better able to manage the high risk transactions. Additionally, because of the high dollar amounts of their daily transactions, places them in a better position to lobby the card companies.
