This was something I was sent unsolicited by Discover as a change in terms of my cardmember agreement. I didn't send them an email asking, as I would agree as to the veracity of any response.
I also agree that they frequently wouldn't know how what the purchase specifically was, but I won't be using my Discover to buy in, and wanted other people to at least be aware of the issue.
Looking online, Discover includes in definition of "cash advance": purchase lottery tickets, money orders,
casino chips, foreign currency or similar items.
Now, a good lawyer can argue either side of whether a tournament buyin falls into this category, but I'd rather not have to **** with them on it.
