Question about Gambling websites with Curaçao license using incorrect Merchant Category code (sida 476)

Yes understood, that's why I believe this would more of a case directed with the actions of the bank - or lack of. Perhaps there can be some kind of compensation warranted further down the line.

That’s crazy wtf

I doubt it mate. They will continue to get away with money laundering. There isnt one casino licensed by Curacao that is legit and not a front… it’s crazy they have their own fake providers for live casino also it’s just ridiculous

Hello paul.. I can't remember if you dealt with merchant paytech*CSS London?

Hello no sorry not me

Has anyone had success with quickbit / coin shop? They won the chargeback. Bank has said they can move the case to the fraud / scam team. Wonder if a waste of time?

I’ve had update from MBNA and they’re saying that as the payment from My credit card was a money transfer transaction, there isn’t much they can do to start a dispute for service not recieved, this was with SMPaypf*maginic. Any ideas how this can be got roundb

On what basis? Did you raise the chargeback as services/goods not received?

Yes I raised as service not received, so I’ve gone back with incorrect MCC code. I’ve been open and honest with them re gambling transactions, but they said the transaction was a money transfer so cannot be disputed as service or goods not received! So I’ve now said incorrect MCC code used as it’s showing as a financial institution not Gambling. Hope that makes sense

I got that back on my chargeback

This is what I am getting in the post all the time..It is not genuine sites in the UK they are pretending it is..

It’s Lloyd’s being difficult, they submitted it for me but the merchant disputed it so they couldn’t proceed saying I’ve not received a service as it’s a money transfer and not a transaction. I’ve got a live complaint with the ombudsman re all my MBNA transactions I’m hoping they agree incorrect MCC codes qualify for refunds, that’s with Mastercard! It’s been 2 months now so hope the ombudsman hurry’s up! Does anyone know the chances of successful ombudsman results with incorrect MCC codes and Mastercard?

Ok odd my bank just raised mine and there was no contest I got them refunded after about 50 days the FOS can take a year its hard to win if your lucky you may get a good case handler

That's why I always opted out of post sms promos etc. Lol

I did as well mate they still send it anyway I have reported a bad gambling habit as well on all of them

Quickbit is mainly money transfers deposited by customer but then converted into crypto by a fraudster and then sent to multiple different countries.

Yes I did. They then came back with receipts saying I bought crypto etc and they are not the stored wallet holder
