Question about Gambling websites with Curaçao license using incorrect Merchant Category code (page 624)

I saw they brought in £5 maximum stakes last week for online uk casinos. Unfortunately these rules don't apply to the illegally operating casinos we talk about. Restrictions aren't a thing to them.

following the investigation that visa and MasterCard proccessed transactions in behalf of the offshore unlicenced casino, that what happens an update says,

i wonder if Visa MasterCard and PayPal will take it to the next level and sue those casinos for company damage in reputation. the casinos will get the big hit

Can someone give me some advice please, yesterday Revolut eventually raised some chargebacks for me, only a few hundred pounds worth, and the status was they were waiting for the merchant to respond but now Revolut either rejected them (the merchant did not reply yet, they just rejected them anyway as gambling-related even though I raised them as being miscoded transactions under Mastercard rules) or they have asked for further information.

Chargebacks are quite new to me as the vast majority of my deposits were SEPA transfers so can someone explain what information/documentation I should provide them with?

i am taking to MasterCard, I hope a refund will be made

I tried to contact Mastercard last week. They just reply with:

"Thank you for contacting Ask Mastercard. We are sorry to hear about this situation.

However, so you are aware, Mastercard does not issue cards, does not maintain cardholder account and transaction data, initiate refunds or dispute transactions on behalf of cardholders, only the issuing bank does. We only serve as the technology provider licensing our network to banks ensuring payments are processed."

maybe it's different in uk

They can respond - they are interested in these cases at the moment. This is the last response I received.

Dear Xxxxxx,

Thank you for contacting the Mastercard Merchant Pay Support Team.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

We have forwarded your inquiry to the relevant team, and they will be in touch with you directly regarding your request.

Do you have a contact email for them please

Not for the department that is needed. You can try Ccing the ones you can find on Google. Not posting here as don't want them to stop taking or responding to emails because of an influx of them!

Hey did they reply to your email

and how long did refund take please

Did you just tell them everything?

Nothing happens. Loads have tried for years. They forward on to casinos and threaten them but those casinos who don’t care just ignore the warning. Hopefully something legal gets passed soon so all payments must be refunded

Will see mate. The advice on what to send and to whom is coming from an expert in the field. If it doesn't work then so be it, but best chance.

I’m surprised the banks issuing the cards aren’t supporting more card holders. I know for me my cards issued me cashback and rewards for "purchases" since they were coded as that when gambling transactions don’t qualify - they are considered cash advances

Guys! Soooo can someone please help me with finding any information for Mahmay. I would be so grateful thank you.

This is a further update on my FOS case they asked me what I have done to approach my addiction as one of the questions which I provided evidence of I also have a few days now to go on the sknsmagnate objection to the fake invoices they have until the 21st to respond and 18th and 21st are bank holidays:

Dear Mr Mcewan

Thank you for your emails and further details.

I'm glad to hear you're getting support and this is helping you.

I've also requested further information from Revolut so I'll need to wait to hear back from them but I'll come back to you as soon as I can.

Yours sincerely
