I'm pretty sure it means they can't credit btc that's directly mined, like solo mining or P2Pool.
When depositing from conventional pools it'll come from their wallet address.

Because it's more convenient for them but not really for you

Using the deposit addresses of bter.com with mining pools worked for me in the past.
I did test from 2 different pools and all deposit succeeded.
The pool without tx fee was indeed slower (~3 times slower on a single test). No big deal, but good to know.
Thanks frozen for getting a definitive answer.

I've gotten an answer on this directly from bter.
Turns out it isn't a direct restriction.
The problem is that a number of users have reported that the transaction is very slow, as a result of the mining pool not including a tx fee and having a lot of activity. But it does apparently work, it just might take longer than you might prefer or expect.
Rather than dealing with users complaining about their deposits not showing up, they just tell you not to do it.

I'm looking for an answer to this question myself.
i Guess so coins can be tracked?
BTER and Vircurex say they will not credit deposit from mining pools (or solo mining) directly.
It seems we have to use our wallet as an intermediate.
Why is that?
