I would think this is primarily to hide gambling activities so it doesn't affect your credit score. If you're applying for a loan or credit card your bank statements can be assessed and if it finds transactions to known gambling sites or ATM withdrawals from known gambling venues or hotels then that will affect your credit rating badly.

None of this is true of traditional credit scoring.
