Online Casino Fraudulent Charges. Getting in trouble for online casino charge back? Just wondering, if i was overcharged on an online casino and did a fraud charge back can i just in trouble? I am getting phone calls and emails from the online casino saying they will report me to the appropriate authorities.however it is illegal to gamble online in the US using a credit card that was banned. Apr 17, 2012 Essentially it's just fraud - the player deposits, loses and then decides to call the bank and say that it wasn't them that made the deposit. The banks generally side with the player and the casino loses their money as well as getting a notch in their charge back column (too many charge backs can result in a casino losing a processor).

Charging back online casino transactions is unethical!

Charging back online casino transactions is unethical! I've heard from a few friends of mine that they've racked up large credit card debt due to playing at online casinos and what they did to handle this seemed very unethical to me. They told me that after the racked up this debt on their credit cards they'd call the credit card companies and request that these charges be reversed. They said that they managed to succeed in several cases. If you for example were to buy something keep the item that you purchased and then call the credit card company and told them that you didn't buy that item it would be considered stealing. I think that the same thing applies here... The idea that you can charge as much as you wanted on your credit card and then reverse it seems wrong and nothing short of theft. Anyways I told this to my friends and they didn't really acknowledge the idea that it's considered theft... What do people here thing about this? | |

Re: Charging back online casino transactions is unethical! Charging back or reversing credit card transactions as related to online casinos has become a lot more difficult. Not only is it unethical but it can certainly lead to a lot of issues which I'll outline before. Working in the baking industry myself I know what some of these repercussions are both from the standpoint of the credit card companies, the banks and the casinos. 1.) If you charge back and you have a history of making credit card transactions that are related to gaming it's very unlikely that the bank will actually reverse the transaction. 2.) If you do charge back and are able to do so successfully (again very difficult to do these days) then you'll be listed as a higher risk user to the credit card companies. 3.) Casinos will definitely 100% blacklist you at the casino if you charge back and if you're luck and only if you're lucky you'd still be able to play at the casino but only by using deposit methods that are of '0' risk to the casino in terms of chargebacks. 4.) If you chargeback successfully there's a good chance that you'll be blacklisted on the entire casino software providers network. For example if you charge back at a Microgaming casino since they all share a negative database of users who have issued chargebacks in the past this information could be used to ban you globally across all Microgaming casino brands. There are several other reasons why you wouldn't want to charge back but these are merely to hightlight a few key points as to why I don't think it's a good idea to do so! | |

Re: Charging back online casino transactions is unethical! Yeah speaking as someone with expereince whatever you do don't charge back it's not worth the headaches and hassles that it brings with it. The only time a charge back is worth committing is when the charge that has come though on your credit card genuinely isn't yours to begin with. Seriously don't do it if you can avoid it... | |

Re: Charging back online casino transactions is unethical! Thanks everyone for your replies to my questions it's greatly appreciated... I've always felt like it wasn't worth it the whole charegback thing nor did I ever intend on issuing a chargeback myself I was merely more curious to know what people though of this situation. I definitely think it's wrong nor will I ever take such action unless the transactions I find on my credit card are genuinely fraudulent and charges that I never made to being with. | |

Re: Charging back online casino transactions is unethical! What the heck does a fax back form do for the casino. It's not like they can send that to a US bank. A cc user can't legally authorize a casino to deduct from their account because of the UIGEA, nor can they authorize the casino to mask the charges as merchandise purchases - that is money laundering. So what does this form really provide for the casino? | |

Re: Charging back online casino transactions is unethical! Well my personal view on it is that it's more of a scare tactic. You are correct for transactions that are processed though the casino where they are being processed uncoded (ie. where 7995 is being bypassed) online casinos have no recourse. However the laws pertaining to the UIGEA are fairly ambiguous and because of that there are still several banks in the US that are not blocking 7995 coded online gambling related transactions. For those transactions that are processed legitimately though banks in the United States they do have recourse though the fax back form. I suppose the problem with charging back is that you never really know if the transaction is one that can be deemed legitimate or an uncoded transaction. Still my views are in line with those discussed herein. I don't think it's ethical to charge back transactions for money you did really spend. Especially when there's a chance it can come back around and bite you in the ass. | |

Re: Charging back online casino transactions is unethical! So a copy of someones id and credit card, really won't help the casino either if the transactions are coded wrong. | |

Re: Charging back online casino transactions is unethical! Yes that's correct however with transactions that are properly coded there is recourse for online casinos that can be taken with banks to issue legitimate claims. Since there's no way to tell for certain whether the transaction is coded or not it's really not worth it. Moreover credit card companies do not look fondly on people that charge back credit card transactions. | |

Re: Charging back online casino transactions is unethical! I agree with what bugatto is saying here in that it's really not worth it. Especially in the long run you're really working against yourself if you make chargebacks on legitimate online casino transactions at online casinos or any other gambling type activities you might involve yourself in online. | |

Re: Charging back online casino transactions is unethical! What about when the charge back is ligit? I am in the process of claiming in excess of £2000 that was deposited to a online casino from my bank account. I know 100% fact that i never made these transactions and the bank is making feel like a criminal. I have no history of using online or bricks and mortar casinos except for the odd online poker game that has never cost more than $10 or so. Does this mean I will get a bad credit rating? I dnt care about being banned from any casino because I dont use them. Your thoughts would be apreciated. Many thanks | |

Re: Charging back online casino transactions is unethical! Its simply as this, don't make other transactions in your account that are not important and irrelevance to your concerns, the point of view of this statement its between your action and the result of the transaction in your account whether its your concern or not. | |

Re: Charging back online casino transactions is unethical! It is actually fraud and highly illegal because you are claiming that someone else has stolen your details and make those transactions without your approval. Its a risky solution which could get you into even bigger problems. Aaron www.highstack.co.uk | |

Joined: Fri Dec 09, 2016 5:11 pm Posts: 1 | Re: Charging back online casino transactions is unethical! I recently used POSH VIP Casino, Do not use them, or any casino related to them. They are a bunch of scammers. I've used Silver Oak Casino and I believe they are related as well. I've never had a problem with Silver Oak. I'm at this point having to request a reversal because I tried to deposit one day and it gave me a generic error and when chatting I asked what to do. It happened a total of 3 times and I was told the money would not come out of my bank. The next day I go to use my card and I notice I'm down the exact amount of money that I would have been charged had the deposits gone through and then I go online and confirm that the three times it gave me an error and did not post to my account it charged my card. then they tell me its a pre authorization and will fall off even though while on one phone with them and one phone with the bank, the bank told me at the same time this is not an authorization is is a full on charge. I agree its very unethical for a player to charge back something they used but in my case I never got that opportunity. Now I am having to go through my bank to get my money back. Not only has this happened but when I've shown plenty of proof with screenshots from my bank, of course blacking out what is none of their businesses, they say thats not enough. Do not use Posh VIP Casino, they are scammers and I do genuinely hope that Silver Oak is not related to them. |
