Question about Gambling websites with Curaçao license using incorrect Merchant Category code (page 159)

No the casinos

Think this is alphastrike alphastrikeskins@proton.me

Same area code based in Estonia worth a go

Hello 😊

in four different:

• Jackpotfrenzy
• Malinacasino
• Tsar's Casino
• Nova Jackpot Casino

Thanks 🙏 I'll write to them, did they refund you?

I also still have Csskinspro London. I read something about it once but couldn't find anything here.

I have only just found it myself

I wrote to them. Keep you posted, thank you

It's this one same company just different email address phone number exactly same on bank statement support@alphastrike.me

Great, thank you very much!!

Unfortunately, I cannot see any details at my bank and the bank does not want to give me any details either

I created an account and made a deposit of 40€, the amount was debited from my account twice and did not end up in my account.

So 80€ were debited and I have 0€ in my account.

Now I have to submit bank statements.

I now have to wait 5 days, once and never again, the most dubious casino there is.

Do you have contact details ?

From me? Which ones exactly?

I've found some stuff regarding Goldenbet, their merchant thing on my statement is Nikotpf active web lim, i've done some sleuthing and found that there's a few other Nikotpfs on this forum and another,such as WynActive NikoTPF*Aqua Pulse London (cant find much on this one) Nikotpf NOHTOS (again, yet to find anything on this one) Nikotpf*Nexpulse (same again) Nikotpf Novavogue,i think that's linked to a "clothes company" and Nikotpf DNELECTRO, which is a uk based electronics website it seems under the umbrella company of green lemon group ltd, i've kept an eye on it and they've changed their registered address at least three times in the last week according to public government documents, which leads me to believe that's another scam website that's just used for money/transaction laundering, interestingly enough there's a name as they have to register the LTD company in the UK to operate here, there's one registered director under the company name listed as a Vladimirs BICKOVSKIS, who's currently based in Latvia according to the public government documents? don't know if anyone's any good at digging up any more information?

there was also this blog that was posted in the thread earlier regarding transaction laundering which covers both them and santeda on the blacklist.

would also tie in with this reuters article

Santeda International (parent company of Goldenbet and some other online casinos operating without a license, have been found guilty and sanctioned by the Australian government, Swedish and Spanish government for operating multiple URLs to bypass their prohibition, aswell as illegal gambling,that coupled with the third party merchants makes this an obvious illegal operation with the aim appearing to be to scam customers out of money, below is evidence listed of sanctions)

Have you had any response yet?

Has anyone took complaint to the financial ombudsman please ?

No. Unfortunately not. You?

Should I write again?

Hey, for those of you from the UK and used a credit card to gamble.

Gambling with a credit card was made illegal from 2020 onwards to protect consumers from problem gambling.

Who's responsible in the cases where credit cards are used?

1. The gambling site

2. The payment processor

3. The credit card provider

4. The credit card holder

Surely the blame can't solely lie with the credit card holder?

GOOd morning, darling , I play with debit card, put your procesor in bin..

Anyone had peraramp come up on statement? Can’t seem to find any information on them
