I can't say what their policy is exactly, but what you mention is unlikely. The reason being is that there is liability for credit card deposits. Long-standing liability that can last 6-12 months for a site. However, Bitcoin is non-refundable.
The fear, and this happens in practice, is that a player deposits with a credit card, plays, and requests a withdrawal. A site pays it in crypto-currency and then, months later, the player initiates a charge back on the credit card. Now the gambling site is screwed with zero ways to recover their lost funds.
Very few people are allowed to do CC deposits and Crypto withdrawals, industry wide. In fact, I only know of it happening in a few select cases to satisfy long-standing whales. Otherwise, most sites learned very quickly that this was a bad idea.
