Question about Gambling websites with Curaçao license using incorrect Merchant Category code (page 1,206)

The practice you described is known as 'miscoding'. It is a serious violation of Visa/Mastercard rules, as merchants use fake category codes to bypass bank restrictions. While many Curacao-licensed sites use this to operate in restricted regions, it is technically illegal and can lead to the payment processor being blacklisted. You can try to raise a complaint with the licensing body, but realistically, Curacao regulators rarely take action on these matters. A chargeback request through your bank might be more effective, citing 'incorrect merchant information

What a load of horseshit, Go do some research about why Stake was kicked out. I've never heard of Roobet, sorry.

You should ask yourself Why wouldn't you stick with UK licensed operator then?

I am an addict. I am signed up to various systems to help support me managing that addiction. These sites, as you well know, deliberately circumvent these protections in order to take advantage of people such as myself.

And you are well aware of it, this is clear fraud!

As indeed you must be aware that these unregulated sites, are in the most part, also fraudulent;

1. They don't have licenses to use the game provider 'games' on their sites.
2. They will not pay out any big winnings. I have first hand experience of this.
3. If they were genuine sites, they would easily be able to attain and keep a UKGC license.
4. These sites mask the transactions to frustrate gambling blocks placed on cards by addicts.
5. If they were genuine, they would use the correct MCC and accept the increased scrutiny that brings from card schemes and acquiring/issuing banks.
6. Genuine sites that don't have UKGC licenses actively block users from countries where they are unlicensed. This is done through IP addresses and correct KYC/AML procedures BEFORE the customer makes their first deposit.

Using the chargeback scheme to recover funds lost to fraudulent, scam websites is not fraud. It is our consumer rights. Much the same as if I ordered a new TV from Amazon and they failed to deliver it and wouldn't refund it.

Running websites pretending to be genuine casinos with the sole intention of stealing peoples money is, by legal definition, fraud.

I won't be feeding this particular troll anymore, much as though I am now mentally strong enough not to feed the scam casinos you so obviously work for.

Thank you did you have any sucess speaking with them.

elegrou is nikotpf

what did you say to solarbee for a refund? I’m in the process’s of emailing them now

What did you say to Solarbee to get a refund?

They’ve just emailed me today saying they have refunded me

Hey did you find anything about this merchant? Thanks

Letter from Czech ombudsman’s regarding Dsolpay / swipez for those who are interested:

From the time the authorisation is terminated, the provider will no longer be allowed

to provide payment services and will be obliged to refund the entrusted money in full

amount. If the provider fails to do so within 3 months, contact the provider and ask for

a settlement of your claims (returning the money). If the provider does not comply,

contact the CNB again and report that the provider has failed to fulfil its obligations to

settle the liabilities.

basically, we should be able to still contact swipez and ask for refunds; it’s highly unlikely they will but then you can go back to your bank and raise a chargeback dispute for fraud with this and the CNB’s notice as evidence, even if outside the 120 day window (which mine is).

Hope this helps.

If you want me to do that, I can do it and close your account. However, if you communicate normally, it is not necessary.

Also, if you don't see the point in posting here, then you don't have to.

Anyone knows who is TCHTXT?

Thank you.

They replied with this.

We are unable to locate your activity or the specific transactions without the email address you used to register on the gambling website.

Please provide this email address as soon as possible so we can investigate the matter and process any applicable refund.

Did you receive a letter or email from cnb?

I received an email from cnb a while ago but I filed with the ombudsman in Czechia after as a result, they responded this morning. I’ve sent both emails and attachments as part of my dispute and filed an action fraud case alongside.
