Question about Gambling websites with Curaçao license using incorrect Merchant Category code (sida 1 573)

Thanks, that's interesting. I hadn't thought about the "cs2" part possibly referring to Counter-Strike 2 / skin shops.

Have you managed to identify who processed any of your temdot, zenski, lesski, quedot, quecs2, neocs2 or temcs2 transactions? I'm particularly interested in whether any of them can be confirmed as going through Xpate or another acquirer.

Thanks, that's really helpful and confirms what I suspected. So your bank specifically showed Xpate Ltd as the acquirer for these transactions?

Have you already contacted Xpate about them, and if so, did they acknowledge the transactions or offer any refunds?

That's good to hear about Global Stride. Did you contact them directly to get the refund, or did it happen after you raised a chargeback? If you contacted them directly, which email address did they respond from?

I'm still looking for reliable contact details for Tchtxt and Meta Deposit as well.

Does anyone have any information on these merchant descriptors?

I'm mainly looking for contact details and trying to identify who processed/acquired these payments. Does anyone know if any of them are connected to Xpate? Has anyone dealt with them or managed to get a refund?

Thanks, I’ll try info@ventira.co.uk. Did you contact them at this address yourself? If so, did they respond or manage to refund anything? Also, do you know which processor or acquirer they use — possibly Xpate?

I had quite a few different merchant descriptors linked to Xpate. Some of the ones my bank identified were FREDTG, MSP, scudot, playtwin, PlayT, ORENZA and TRAMIQ. I also have several others that I'm still trying to confirm.

The difficult part is that the descriptor on the statement often doesn't make the connection obvious. I only found out about some of them after asking my bank for more information when I started the chargeback process.

Well i have no clue so far, but i’ve read it here that it would be xpate , so i emailed them for GDPR15

Has anyone gotten refunded by ryker before?

is this the case?

did you find anything?

directly it’s like support@thrivestore.co.uk

playtwin and scudot are XPATE?? thanks for letting me know. Is it even worth contacting them directly?

not a clue who the processor is. they didn’t respond to emails 🙁

bank transfers they told me it’s the only way? were the other 5 bank transfers?

Yes of course.

100% of my deposits were bank transfers.

It just doesn’t make sense at all.

Some recall-requests get processed + escalated easily by Revolut - other ones need extensive explaining + fraud report.

It's getting crazier and crazier: Revolut is now forcing me to go to the police and file a fraud report. Then I have to take a photo of it and submit it to Revolut. If I don't do that, they won't escalate my chargeback attempts. It's unbelievable.
