Question about Gambling websites with Curaçao license using incorrect Merchant Category code (sida 1 663)

Incorrect mcc codes used. These merchants did not apply the correct code when processing this transactions to an offhshore casino. Revolut is a hit or miss if they raise the transactions to the merchant though.

Does anyone have any information on the payment processors whose ARN starts with 435082

Kind of, I know they are a polish acquirer for a fact. they’re a medium sized one on my BIN map. keep my posted if you find anything out

Yugo ("yugo.finance sofia") refund: €175.90 received

Three card payments to Yugo, a payment gateway that also markets to gaming operators, were refunded on 3 Nov. The descriptor gave no hint of gambling, and my bank coded them as non-gambling.

Timeline:

31 Aug: formal complaint by email, listing each payment with its date and amount

20 Sep: second complaint

12 Oct: final notice with a deadline

30 Oct: told them the deadline had passed

3 Nov: all three refunds arrived, with no reply email first

What worked: itemising every payment, keeping it polite and factual, setting firm deadlines, and offering a clean refund with no admission of liability.

Someone know which Payment proccesor is behind Viz1271.com or VIZ MEDIA /reafter.com ??

Hey did you get anywhere with these

Yugo refunded me a few days after emailing them with no response or acknowledgement. First one I was successful with and surprised as over 2K.

fair enough. solid 2k recovery that. I guess they thought i’d give up on recovering the piddly 150£ which is why they left it. But i would not 😭

Wish all the others were as easy 😂

hahaha I know the feeling.

Kryptonim are a right joke. IVY don’t respond and neither to passpoint or PAYOP. These bank transfer ones are the worst

They really are. I've flagged Ivy to their regulators after ignoring my complaint. Also gone to token and rillpay to see what information they can share as part of the chain. Googlepay next. Might not get a refund but hopefully make it harder for these leeches to target vulnerable gambling addicts!! Grrr.
