Kinghill Casino refunded all of my deposits, around 1.1k.
here’s a template you can begin sending directly to the gambling sites:
‘Upon reviewing my recent bank statements, I have noticed discrepancies in the descriptors associated with the transactions which were completed . It appears that the descriptors are inaccurate and do not align with my legitimate transactions which has raised confusion and concern on my parts.
I kindly request your prompt assistance in rectifying this matter and processing refunds for the transactions with false descriptors.
I understand that errors can occur, and I appreciate your attention to resolving this matter promptly as these transactions were from a casino and have been illegally disguised for some reason.
As well as that, I have a gambling block on my account which this has failed to capture.
This practice, commonly referred to as "transaction laundering," is explicitly prohibited by both Mastercard and Visa regulations. According to Mastercard’s Chargeback Code 4840 ("Fraudulent Processing of Transactions"), this type of misrepresentation qualifies the transaction for a chargeback. Had the MCC been accurately set as a gambling-related transaction, it would have been blocked by the gambling restrictions applied to my account.
Additionally, Visa's rules on MCC misrepresentation fall under Chargeback Code 13.5, which also applies to cases where a merchant misclassifies a transaction to avoid legitimate restrictions. Both Visa and Mastercard’s rules are clear: merchants must use the correct MCC, and failure to do so opens them to chargeback claims.
Given the circumstances and the clear violation of Mastercard’s and Visa’s rules, I kindly request that you initiate a chargeback for the full amount of the disputed transactions:
-transaction 1
-transaction 2 etc"
this is both innocent and makes it clear to the bookmaker that you know the legalities
