From the US? No credit card of any kind works that I'm aware of.
The only thing that worked for me in the last 6 months is the ACH/ETF option from a checking account.

You might be able to through a middle man / payment processor.
The activity is illegal in the US though on 99.9% of sites (I don't know of any government run poker sites.)

The recent $300 million forfeit paid for running net gambling suggests there are some hitches to the whole process. :)
Dec. 16 (Bloomberg) -- PartyGaming Plc’s founder and former director, Anurag Dikshit, pleaded guilty to illegal Internet gambling and agreed to cooperate with the U.S. Justice Department in an investigation of the Web-based gaming company.
Dikshit, 37, the biggest shareholder of Gibraltar-based PartyGaming, entered the plea to one count of online gambling in violation of the Wire Act today and agreed to forfeit $300 million.
