Question about Gambling websites with Curaçao license using incorrect Merchant Category code (sida 802)

I know that but like they must have a LTD website?

Google Santeda International and it should be first thing that comes up. They aren’t registered in the UK so it’s a difficult one. Banks will be no help either as they’re a gambling company

Personally, I’ve had a much smoother experience with platforms like Playfina, where everything feels transparent — payments show up correctly, and you know exactly what you’re dealing with. Just curious if others noticed this trend or if it's something specific to smaller, lesser-known sites.

I believe it has to do with specifically regulated markets or countries. But I guess the others will tell you more about it. 😉

Hiya, they are https://destream.net/

If you leave me your email address I'll be happy to share some info with you.

Mastercard shifting the buck! Their payment portals are being used unpoliced by offshores who are letting users press a big deposit here button but then allowing them to pay a directly unaffiliated merchant for goods / services that don't reflect the intended transaction.

If merchants used were all legitimately able to process gambling transactions and clearly linked to the casinos, fair enough.

But when I'm depositing 200,000 Nigerian Naira to a clutch repair company for the privilege of watching my solid 20 get beaten my a magical 8 card dealer 22 in another classic hand of Deluxe Vegas Blackjack it doesn't quite add up does it.

Any Chance for Chargeback when MCC 7995 was used, but merchant is a different one?

e.g. group N.V. has 2 online casino:

a) CasinoAA

b) CasinoBB

I played in CasinoAA and lost 10k€, but all transactions showed CasinoBB as merchant. I asked CasinoBB support if they have any customer relation with me (My Name, Mail etc.) and they said no! I screenshoot this aswell, and filed a chargeback at Mastercard (saying unknown merchant, service not fullfiled).

Do I have any chance? What do you think? Biggest Problem in my eyes is, that MCC 7995 was used - didnt anyone has success with that?

Any info for FLVA please?

Have emailed them myself regarding online*dg - any info you could give me please buddy? Still a pain in my ass these fuckers haha

Anyone here ever received a refund from Swipez? I had two emails saying they would investigate first of all and the second one saying they will process my refund in 3-5 days, couple of hours later I had loads of banking notifications saying my refund request was approved by them but I am nervous I won’t actually receive anything back

Hi mate, yeah I have them all pending in my Revolut, every transaction.

should be set on Wednesday as it says 5 days but could be sooner. I’ll update if the do bud

Yes got 400 back for transactions under E0000480 they do refund it's not a gimik.

I got a refund. You'll get it

Does anyone know the contact details for E0000450?

I've got 480 underway but Swipez aren't responsible for 450.

Im sure in this post you meant to thank someone for helping you get this refund.... 😳
