Question about Gambling websites with Curaçao license using incorrect Merchant Category code (page 147)

I lost about £5000 towards these companies. I only ever managed to recoup about 20% of that back. I was still grateful, because it was better than nothing, but still sad to lose such a big amount. I’m banned on Gamstop, so I won’t be using any uk casinos and I defiantly don’t trust any of these offshore ones and tbh this has helped me as I had a severe gambling addiction and the mess I got myself in with mystake and goldenbet and ninewin, it was enough to just put me off

Oh yeah and another thing today I bought myself a new mattress topper for £100 which I’ve wanted for ages. I never did that before as I used to splurge all my money on slots leaving myself with nothing. I even had to go without food. Sometimes you hit really low points which make you stronger. I really hope I never go back to it, there’s a lot of obstacles in place to stop me, but ergh gambling is just an illness

How long time did it take for them to answer? I have sent email to risk and hello but no response since last week

How did you get back from bitsent? With a chargeback? Them idiots won't even acknowledge they are wrong in an email! Crazy they accepted the chargebacks from my understanding.

I’ve had to re raise my dispute with chase for pixelum who sells nft art they have ignored my emails for proof of goods provided. Chase seen crap tho and don’t really look into things properly. Wintermdsm have said I need to wait 3 weeks for the investigation but I’m still emailing them everyday just because why not. The casinos I’ve emailed are also looking into stuff.

I chargeback with my bank and they sent back the funds

I agree, they refuse to refund even though I have explained to them several times that they made a mistake, they ask you to contact the Casino who just ignores you and then you are back to square one again.

Don't have many transactions for them, but around 400 euros, it would have been nice to get these back.

Has anyone had any luck with getting refunds from any offshore casinos? I know one person did 6months ago in this thread but that’s the only one I’ve heard of.

They've escalated my disputes to the relevant team here, i'm not hopeful but at the same time they let me deposit to the casino illegally as they don't have a license and i'm unable to withdraw, so from a legal standpoint they shouldn't have a leg to stand on really, worst comes to worst i'm going to get in contact with a financial ombudsman, fingers crossed! Not to mention the casinos name isn't on the transactions so i'm sure there's some third party vendor stuff going on

Did you find out which ones, they have responded to me now also!

Do you know who went through gumball please? Was mydates one?

Hey Sutton, did you get any refunds from gumball, if so or not do you know any merchants who would have gone through them?

Gumball sorry 🙂

Quickbit basically shot me down straight away, even tho a month before I asked them to block my card from them and all their merchants. They said I am at fault - even tho their t&Cs say contact them to be blocked from transactions etc.

They took a while to reply to me, I'm pretty sure someone said mydates is through them?

I'm pretty sure it was mentioned that Gumball processed many of the African payments! I have many of them but it would be ideal to know all of the payments they take

Meabix Tech Ltd  was the main one. The casino was Jazz casino/ Betti casino and all transactions on the casino account showed gumball pay yet the corresponding transaction on my bank statement said different merchants. I matched them up sent them the proof and they refunded within 5 days. This was around 3 months ago and it seems harder to get them now.
