Question about Gambling websites with Curaçao license using incorrect Merchant Category code (page 767)

I have contacted them directly. See if we get a reply. Doubt it though

Yes, I also did not find anything more.. I raised the issue with an Italian bank where I have already had 3 other complaints, once the procedure is entered if everything goes well, after not even 20 days they refund you the money in advance and after 45 days if the outcome is positive it ends here otherwise they ask you for the money.. luckily I have always had a positive outcome, with them I will also do TRND soon

I always find that the temp refund either forces the merchant to refund or not falsely claim it was delivered. Chase taking too long is a huge risk I think.

Will you keep me updated? 😊

Of course

One of my merchants accepted the chargeback 20 days ago. Sent me an email yet Revolut won’t give me the funds and want me to wait 50 days

I tell you that with this bank, last year, I raised a complaint against skingmagnate, the bank after 15 days gave me my money back, after 45 days they wrote to me saying that the merchant had sent them an invoice.. I replied that obviously it was false.. that's all, they didn't ask me for anything back

Banks are awful for this kind of thing. They know it’s happening but then don’t help you afterwards despite miscoding being illegal

Did anyone ever have any joy with Digikey? Can see some details on the forum but zero response from them

Brilliant find.

Digikey don’t reply at all mate. Even on chargebacks they don’t respond you have to wait until it expires to get the money back.

Sound - I found something 11 months ago on here they refunded someone but assume they like others thought best off not doing it directly. I will just raise it with bank, they are looking at one from them but didn’t realise I have 3 from them no major issue

Yeah I think most companies now just won’t respond in the hope people don’t go the route of chargeback or the hope they don’t know how to. There’s been a rise in false recipts being made by the looks of it aswel. I’ve just emailed that Feeldate.com let’s see if they respond.

I remember reading on trustpilot that one the companies was responding that as soon as they see chargeback they won’t respond, not sure what that achieves apart from a full refund to us. Luckily Barclays have gone incorrect MCC for me so that will do less chance of comebacks especially if they don’t respond. Waiting on nearly 30 refunds across Chase and Barclays.

Iv managed to find 99.9% of the merchants. Just a couple left im struggling with.

PXL is one

Yeah man, terrevers I’m struggling with so that’s had to be a chargeback.

E000348 I’m still struggling with. It would be nice to know the merchant codes used with them but my bank won’t tell me.

Yeah, it’s mainly because if they respond they are accepting they are acting illegally. But if they don’t respond they can just say they didn’t notice the chargeback email.

Dear Support,

I am writing to formally request a full and immediate refund of funds deposited and/or lost on your platform, which I believe were obtained under deceptive, unfair, and potentially unlawful circumstances.

It is clear that your platform operates under a license issued in [Curaçao / Costa Rica / Anjouan] yet actively accepts players from the United Kingdom, without holding a UK Gambling Commission license. This constitutes illegal remote gambling under Section 33 of the UK Gambling Act 2005. By offering gambling services to UK consumers without legal authorisation, your company is violating UK law and is open to regulatory and legal sanctions.

I am currently initiating the following actions:

Reporting this operation to the UK Gambling Commission, Action Fraud, and the National Crime Agency

Filing complaints with:

The Curaçao Gaming Control Board and the Ministry of Finance (if Curaçao-licensed)

The Directorate General of Gaming in Costa Rica, via the Ministry of Finance (Hacienda) (if Costa Rica-based)

Anjouan Gaming Board or Comoros Financial Authorities (if licensed under Anjouan)

Requesting revocation or review of your license based on cross-border regulatory violations and consumer fraud

Notifying Interpol and Europol's Cybercrime Centres, particularly given the transnational nature of the alleged violations

Legal options currently being pursued include:

UK Civil Proceedings for restitution under:

The Consumer Rights Act 2015

The Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008

UK Misrepresentation Act 1967

Legal consultation for initiating a Letter of Request (LOR) to authorities in Curaçao, Costa Rica, or Comoros for the purpose of legal cooperation and financial restitution

Filing an OECD Complaint via the National Contact Point (NCP) in the Netherlands (for Curaçao cases) concerning violations of international consumer protection standards

Reporting to the Financial Ombudsman or Data Protection Authority if GDPR violations (e.g. unlawful use of personal data) have occurred

If I do not receive written confirmation of a full refund within 7 calendar days, I will proceed with the above actions, including full publication of your platform’s conduct across consumer watchdog websites, social media channels, and online casino scam tracking services.

This is your final opportunity to resolve the matter amicably and avoid regulatory exposure and legal proceedings across multiple jurisdictions.

Sincerely

this is template you can use for casinos if needed by the way.

I have one for crypto casinos if anyone wants me to drop that
