Question about Gambling websites with Curaçao license using incorrect Merchant Category code (page 675)

they are sister sites so basically just use the exact same generic rubbish. Don’t see anyone getting anywhere with these.

Not from what i've seen, i think maybe two people since the thread started and they were forced to sign NDA's

Websomac go under a number of guises, including 'Fresh Bet' - I'm not having luck with them at the moment but I'm not giving up- I have an Action Fraud complaint running for them.

No this one isn’t the gambling one no. I may complain about it

Nikoptf global stride which is part of elegro.eu.

if they have stated that it is linked to gambling then surely now ive asked them to re look at the dispute for MCC misrepresentation surely they have to proceed with the dispute?

with webmosc is said that i was paying money for website design so does that actually fall under goods not recieved or is it goods or service not recieved?

I’m in need also

This drives me insane!

It is literally the merchants job to ensure the PSP services they have chosen to do business with are using the correct codes.

If this was a mistake under any normal circumstances the merchant would ask their PSP to correct this. UGHHH

What I have done, I am by no means suggesting this but it was successful… is state I purchased video gaming currency (Xbox, PlayStation, Minecraft world of war, whatever) and the merchant listed did not match my purchase.

I never received the virtual credits, which should have been instant by email - I think this is a fraudulent site/merchant and I was scammed..

They can’t really make up an invoice - and it points out the miscoding and fraud because gaming needs a certain MCC

hoping they don’t respond and I will use the email

Hi, can you give me the contact of online dg please? I have a lot of transactions to recover and I am desperate.. thanks

Paul, I mean no disrespect, but given your strong stance against freerolling in the past, it’s hard to ignore how things have changed. I do understand the addiction side of this, it’s real, and it’s powerful, but you were someone who set the benchmark and helped others see the potential positives. That said, this whole situation also highlights just how easily these unlicensed casinos prey on vulnerable people, and why they need to be held accountable. The UKGC, government needs to take a firm grip on this issue.

You’re right though there’s always another site that pops up, easy to access and ready to exploit. But let this be a message to everyone, not just you: the only person who can truly overcome gambling addiction is yourself. Sometimes it takes some tough truths to break through. This isn’t just about you, Paul there are many others here who’ve slipped back into old habits or used the information on this thread to abuse the system. It only ends one way though.

And to those knowingly abusing the system, thinking you can fall back on a potential refund take a moment and have a good, hard look at yourself. I’m telling you now, it’s not worth it for a few hours kick of dopamine. This will destroy your life not just financially, but emotionally, and it will hurt the people who care about you too.

I learned my lesson with these unlawful sites the first time around. Late last year, I hit rock bottom in my personal life.. Sure, they were an escape from reality but I have not touched them since. They literally stole over £200k from me. I had won over £400k, but I didn’t see a penny of it. Withdrawals were rejected just to bait me into playing more and it worked. Now, I’m stuck trying to recover from the massive net losses.

Please, stay away from these sites. They’re fronts for much bigger scams designed to drain your money. This forum has been incredibly helpful, and I’ve tried to give back but once I’ve said my piece, I’m out too. These casinos are unlicensed for a reason.

Sometimes I think about flying to Curaçao to confront the people behind all this, but I know the real way to hit them is by recovering what they’ve taken and helping others avoid the same trap. Learn from this, let it be a warning, not a repeated cycle.

i would really appreciate these details if you wouldn’t mind sharing

Hello all

really good thread, nice to hear I am not the only person that has fallen foul to incorrect merchant codes

is there a template letter requesting refund from casinos for this

regards

Question, has anyone signed a waiver with a casino and if so how binding are they, as they always state that by signing it you consent that you will not pursue them or anyone affiliated with them, however since they do not name their processors, how can you know? 🤷‍♀️

No need to go to Curacao...they are all in Cyprus, Malta and many Eastern European countries.
