Question about Gambling websites with Curaçao license using incorrect Merchant Category code (sida 137)

I haven't received anything either

So maybe you should still be a little careful, these casinos are run by criminals, probably the mafia.

I England använder vi Gamstop för att förhindra att bankerna accepterar transaktioner relaterade till spel och nedan är vår lag.

Det är generellt sett olagligt för alla onlinekasino, oavsett dess jurisdiktion, inklusive de som är baserade på Curacao, att felkoda transaktioner för att kringgå regulatoriska åtgärder som GamStop. Även om de specifika rättsliga ramarna kan variera mellan länder, utgör praxis att felkoda transaktioner för att kringgå självuteslutningssystem som GamStop bedräglig verksamhet och bedräglig praxis.

I Storbritannien är GamStop ett regulatoriskt krav för licensierade onlinespeloperatörer, och att kringgå det bryter mot brittiska spellagar. Även om ett onlinekasino fungerar under en Curacao-licens, om det betjänar brittiska kunder och ägnar sig åt vilseledande metoder för att kringgå brittiska regler, agerar det fortfarande olagligt enligt brittisk lag. Sådana åtgärder kan leda till verkställighetsåtgärder från UK Gambling Commission, vilket kan inkludera blockering av webbplatsen, böter och andra juridiska konsekvenser.

Dessutom har de flesta länder lagar mot ekonomiskt bedrägeri och felaktig framställning, som skulle täcka felkodning av transaktioner. Att engagera sig i sådana metoder kan också resultera i åtgärder från finansinstitut och andra tillsynsorgan i flera jurisdiktioner.

Om du misstänker att ett onlinecasino från Curacao eller någon annan plats ägnar sig åt sådana metoder är det viktigt att rapportera det till relevanta myndigheter, såsom UK Gambling Commission och finansiella tillsynsorgan.

What do you think? Careful in what way? What do you think might happen…?

I think he means.. They're going to wreak havoc with him.. Cut off the ear, cut off the tongue and leave it to Bolisen without the heads 🤣🤣🤣

I don't think anything special will happen, but I'm just saying that you should keep in mind that it is not doctors or human rights fighters who are behind these pages, but rather criminal clans from Russia and the like.

You should not think that you are dealing with ordinary companies here without organized crime.

If you have unique insight into their informal hierarchical organization, supported by concrete evidence, well then you might start to worry a little. A thread full of game cods who can't even find the email addresses of most of their "companies" and can only refer to rules and laws that anyone can google, needn't worry in the slightest. They turn over billions, hardly believe they will send an assassin or make life miserable for people who manage to blow them a few thousand.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Swedish bank have to block 7995 transactions if coming from a non Swedish licensed casino. It's nothing we as consumers block ourselves from.

Payment service providers according to the law (2010:751) on payment services must reject payment orders where payment cards are used and authorization takes place through the use of the retail trade code Merchant Category Code (MCC) 7995. However, this does not apply if the payment order refers to an activity that has a license or is registered under the Gambling Act.

I think there were one or two Swedish providers discussed here. You should be able to request a refund on the basis of

Worth a try, and for sure should report them everywhere. I think it was quickbit and something else?

Quickbit sucks. I don't know anything about the other one

Tänkte bara - har någon kontaktat Mastercard/ViSA för att fråga dem om felklassificering av MCC-koder för att kringgå spelblockeringar, är det giltiga skälet till återkrav? Som jag kan läsa i deras villkor verkar återkrav vara strikt reglerade av dem och måste passa in på de angivna skälen (till exempel att Gooes/tjänster inte har mottagits). Bankerna kan inte riktigt bestämma själva, utan måste följa dessa regler/riktlinjer.

The bank wrote to me. They follow legislation, the card terms and Mastercard's regulations. So basically the same as what you have read

I might, you have to be careful. Many have won at the casino and then received a refund of their deposit. It's no joke! They have our address, everything.

Yes exactly - that's why I think that it is above all Mastercard/VISA that should be demanded answers regarding if they consider that misclassification of mcc codes is a valid reason for card complaints. Ultimately, it is they, not the bank, who decide on this. I think that is the key to seriously bringing about a change - they are the ones who need to take a stand on the issue so that the banks can get through the complaints (and as a very positive side effect, that the payment actors and casinos would get black and white what they are doing is not okay and that they will actually be required to refund if they use incorrect mcc codes). This is where we should get together and put the gun down.

I hope that the banks have received many card complaints about this. However, I think that getting money back is a small chance.. I just want and wish that there will be something to stop this so that you can have a card without emptying it on the first payday. I was clear to the bank that I do not expect money. I'd rather see this investigated and stopped. I also didn't press that I need the money in the meantime and things like that.

No nothing After sending the document they have never responded or refunded.

North Data. Anyone know which payment names are under these?
