Question about Gambling websites with Curaçao license using incorrect Merchant Category code (page 647)

If anyone can help shed some light on my situation, it would be much appreciated.

I have transactions to Goldenbet casino that are showing as Falcora finance (bank transfer) and Travvers (apple and google pay).

i have emailed Travvers using the email addresses given on this forum but had no response so have no started a chargeback with NatWest. I have gone down the route of goods not received, stating I bought digital goods.

can anyone help me understand what I need to gather as evidence? I have screenshots of all deposits into goldenbet already incase they close my account.

any help appreciated. Thanks all

Hi paul, I have a lot of problems regarding using credit cards/loans for gambling on these dodgy offshore sites (mystake Jackbit), transactions with mystake on revolut under name 'falcora finance'. I am raising many complaints/chargeback requests but not sure im taking the right approach.

From reading through many posts you seem very knoweadgable on this and wondered if ya could spare some time to help me, whether on here or PM? Cheers

Hi there I never got anywhere with Revolut currently with the FOS I do not do emails off site but everything should be on here that you need mate if declined the chargebacks you raise a complaint then FOS I said it was gambling if it is money transfers its very difficult

Ok cheers. Yeah I'm threateing them with the Ombudsmon if they don't act in my favour, Also messaged Falcora Finance saying I'm not happy with there transactions ( I know what there upto.)

Just wasnt sure wether or not I should go down the chargeback route, the goods/items not recieved route or I've not been protected as an addicted gambler. Also the irresponsible lending route.

I have seen this on the gambling comision website:

''A gambling business should make sure that if they are accepting payment from an e-wallet, such as PayPal or Skrill, that the money was not loaded from a credit card.''

This rule has been broken by all the gasmbling sites I've used including Betway.

Its up to you bud I always just said it was the gambling bypassing UK laws myself others have tried different ways

Hi,

To those of you who have had success receiving a refund directly from the merchant... Have your casino accounts been closed, or is this just a few cases?

Thanks in advance

All my casino accounts was closed as far as i know, just says account blocked.

did you get any refunds?

what are they trying to say?!

If you already gave transaction information then they will go and check things with the acquiring bank.

no response at all no refund

i did give them everything I explained to them everything

sent them this email explaining everything before they replied to me

Hello

I’ve made several deposits to Pledoo, and the transactions were processed by a merchant called Vxradr, London.

I’m wondering if anyone knows who this merchant is or has any information about them.

Yours is a different kind of query to mine so not sure on this. My information is on the MCCs, Special Category status and regulated goods. Literally just uploaded a shit ton of files for them.

Use the search option at the top of the page, if anyone has mentioned that merchant then it will come up

they just answered today what do they mean

Means they have sent it back to your bank to deal with. Mastercard cannot dispute or get your money back - they can force banks to act though and shutdown merchant networks.
