As a gamer, I really hope this happens to other, GPU-mined, cryptocurrencies as well.
I wonder how much of an environmental impact mining cryptocurrencies has had over the years...
Edit! I think it's happening:

To be fair Lloyds are cracking down on everything... my other half has had nothing but troubles from them recently
Old puter - still good enuff till I save some pennies!
So they block Crypto purchases but are completely fine with you funding a gambling website, or fiat trading platform, or CFDs from your card....all of which are infinitely more risky?
Sounds an odd thing to do likely very much marketing/PR focused. It won't make any real difference.
Possibly.
Though, looking though ebay there's a lot of newly listed 1080/1070/1080Ti/RX 580s coming up dirt cheap (brand new and pre-owned), so I'm not entirely convinced it's a hacked account.
Either way, if it is a scam/hacked account, I won't lose any money (thanks, paypal!)
Just picked up a Powercolor Red Devil Radeon RX580 for £70, fingers crossed it is real, thank the lord for buyer protection:

This applies to credit card transactions only. Current account customers can still use their own money to buy make a legal purchase.
Most credit cards regard gambling as a cash advance, and most gambling halls/casinos don't allow purchases with credit cards - although online sites do.
Lloyds are still allowing debit card purchases for crypto currencies. Personally I think the volatility of Crypto Currencies (and in particularly Bitcoin) makes it significantly riskier than many other forms of investment (or gambling) and I can see why Lloyds might want to limit their exposure to the risk.
