Question about Gambling websites with Curaçao license using incorrect Merchant Category code (σελίδα 1.535)

Anyone who had succesful contacts trough Atefia8.com casino...?

What MCC show in your Bank acc ?

The MCC is not visible on my transaction details or on the transaction statement

Did u find a website or company name ? I need it for chargeback

Card issuer rejected my chargeback on the wrong grounds — then defaulted me for gambling

Looking for advice from anyone who’s been through this with a UK card issuer.

I deposited at an online casino with no UK Gambling Commission licence (the Commission confirmed this to me in writing). I’m on GamStop, and I’d already asked the operator in writing to close my account before most of the transactions happened. The deposits went through under disguised merchant names under non-gambling MCCs, which is how they got past the UK credit card gambling ban and my card’s gambling block.

I disputed 56 transactions, around £4,000. The issuer replied to only 29 of them and rejected on the basis that I authorised them. I never said I didn’t — my claim is misrepresentation and false coding.

Then, at the same time, they issued a default notice terminating the account for breaching the clause banning gambling on the card. So it wasn’t gambling for chargeback purposes, but was gambling for termination purposes.

They now want the full balance inside a few weeks and I simply can’t pay it in that timeframe. A different issuer refunded me in full on some of the exact same merchant names.

Two questions:

1. Has anyone argued MCC miscoding successfully as a chargeback ground on Visa?

2. Has anyone had a default of this type removed by the Ombudsman?

No the only info is that people says its Xpate

Hi What webiste do you all use and is it pay by card or apple pay ??

Googlepay?

Have you put in a complaint to the card issuer? Stating the above and asking them to reassess on the basis that this is misinterpretation not 'goods as received' or whatever they are marking it as? I'd suggest doing that asap if not already.

I have successfully charge backed with a Visa card using MCC miscoding/misrepresentation explaining exactly what it. Although they charge backed, another didn't with exactly the same reasoning!

Yeah i have done. really scared as i cant pay the amount one that card by early september which is what ill be forced to do. really worried. my other card which is a mastercard credit card literally charged back the exact same merchants and all conceded within a few days. this case is much much larger though

Hello. Almost all of my transactions are with winbeast I lost thousands please help me. I have many different merchants on many different statement accounts

I’ve played on WinBeast and lost a lot, I emailed them directly and yeah as expected they won’t refund me. What help do you mean please with WinBeast? Thanks

hi do you have contact information for swipez1/Dsolpay?

[email protected] they haven’t answered me though mate.

Who defaulted you, barclaycard? Is that because of the chargebacks you raised?

Mh was vanquis, yeah because i gambled using a credit card basically even though none of the payments were obviously coded as gambling 😭. Contradicting themselves. Barclaycard have declined all my chargebacks - so i formally complained and they’ll get back this week i think

Got to love Keyspectr still going on about not being mirai

I don’t think you can email Swipez anymore as I got a bounce back saying the address doesn’t exist.

Never had a company ask for time before I go to my bank… I saw someone else say they refund so let’s see what happens!

Nice. I emailed them around a week ago but haven’t heard anything since! My banks put my account into review recently so will chase up once that’s sorted.

Fingers crossed they refund! I sent them a strongly worded email on Friday so I’m surprised they have got back to me so soon.

aww sorry to hear about your account - have they said why?
