If anyone is still looking for contact details for Eduntage their email address is eduntagellcpl@gmail.com. They are a UK company registered on Companies House. Told me they would refund weeks ago and now ignoring emails. I continue to chase and have also reported to Action Fraud and Companies House for fraudulent activity. The transactions were made via Dropayment who also said they would refund me in full a few weeks ago and are now ignoring me and I continue to chase. Dropayment are involved with many of these criminal casinos and their various illegal retail websites disguising payments - info@dropayment.com

Can you remember the colour of the banner when the payment process was going through as I think maybe this one was used also as it sounds familiar?

Hi, could you help me to identify payment processor for my casino transactions? Did you try to contact your bank to find it out? Name on the bank statement doesn't mean anything to me...

Does anyone have any experience in putting through chargebacks for shady offshore unregulated casinos. Payments show as random merchants on the bank statements, and fiddled merchant categories to dupe visa and mastercard to mask it as a non gambling transaction. Has anyone successfully charged back saying items not received etc and has anyone ran into any problems with the offshore casinos fighting chargebacks.

Furthermore, has anyone had any luck in getting refunds from depositing via bank transfer using third party processors?

Thanks.

Hello! My name is Hugo Ewald and I am a reporter at DN. We would think it would be interesting to look more closely at this and especially at possible connections to Swedish companies. Feel free to get in touch if you have something you want to tell us or that you think is important for us to look at, of course anonymously if you want. hugo.ewald@dn.se .

It's clearly interesting that quickbit's CEO is a party leader and does business on shady transactions like this

Hi

I have been reading through this forum.

I have just deposited at a non gamstop casino and the deposits were taken in Euro's apparently but I didn't get charged any fees from my bank. All deposits made on the same day and were taken by these merchants:

Empire

VideogameShaven

0EF2

KPDG

Only reference on each of these deposits was - CD 4045 EU and one was CD 4045 KE.

What does this reference mean? How was the deposits taken?


Can anyone help with this?

You will be charged by your bank it won't be automatically if they do. it may take a day or so it depends who you bank with. Some banks don't charge for international transactions

Quickbit as someone has mentioned.

But also, something that would be of interest would be to look into all the Swedish game providers, providing their games to all these casinos, and just washing away any responsibilities from their side.


Gaming Corps, No Limit City, NetEnt, Evolution, Elk, No Limit City, Thunderkick, I think some more might also be Swedish. Quite a lot of the big providers are Swedish.


But then you also have the issue that the Swedish Government allows almost all games providers to provide their games to Swedish licensed casinos, but they don't put any pressure on the games providers to do everything they can to make their games not be able to be played by Swedish players on casinos with fake licenses such as MGA, Estonia and Curacao. It's all about the money from the Swedish Gambling Authority too, they don't care either.

You should also try to look into the company Worldline and their PaymentIQ service which is a payment orchestration setup, they are processing a lot of card payments for these unlicensed casinos.

And, Visa and MasterCard does nothing against it either, it been reported several times by consumer to Visa/MasterCard with no responses, they take no responsibilties either, even though they have decided gambling transactions should be coded 7995. These should also be questioned for why they are allowing this to happen and without responding to consumer reports.

And now there even seems to be casinos offering payments through Swish and Klarna, through Swipe, most likely not with Swish/Klarna/Swipe approval, but it is so easy for the casinos to set these things up on shell companies to process payments as something else than gambling. Create a webbshop, sell something fake, get a payment provider contract, use that contract to process your fake payments but they are casino transactions instead.


It's a big jungle and very hard to keep track of.

And one other company to look into, not a payment provider, but a huge promoter of these casinos is the Joelsson Media Company who runs casinodaddy. 559078-3352

Might not be illegal to promote these casinos, but questionable for sure.

By promoting these casinos, they earn millions on affiliate deals. And they only earn this money because the casinos are bypassing payment rules.

Did you try a chargeback? Does anyone know of any success stories?

From my understanding most of these shady companies use a form of stripe payment processing.

stripe forbids gambling transactions in general so im curious as to if they even fight chargebacks and if so how they try and justify it?
