Casino Deposits Showing as Random Merchants

Hello,
I was going through some old bank statements and noticed something strange. The deposits I made with my credit card to Curaçao-licensed casinos didn’t appear as gambling transactions. Instead, they showed up under random company names based in countries like Kenya and Nigeria, with no clear link to the casinos themselves.
What’s concerning is that my bank should have blocked these transactions if they were categorized under MCC 7995, which is the standard merchant code for gambling. It seems like these casinos might be bypassing restrictions by disguising deposits as purchases for unrelated goods or services.
I’m wondering if this is even allowed under a Curaçao license? Feels like a shady way to keep taking deposits when banks are supposed to block them
 
That's super sketchy! 🤔 Are you sure those deposits were legit? Sounds like these casinos are pulling some shady moves. I’d be worried about how they’re handling your info too
 
Yeah, bro, I’d definitely question it. But honestly, it might not be illegal. Those Curaçao casinos are notorious for finding loopholes. Still, I’d contact your bank and raise hell about it
 
I had a similar issue once! The deposits were labeled as "consulting services." Total scam vibes! 🤦‍♂️ If they’re bypassing MCC codes, what else are they hiding? Better safe than sorry
 
I mean, it’s kinda wild they can do that. But think about it – if they’re licensed, they gotta play by some rules. Maybe they’re just being sneaky with their payment processors? Still, I’d keep an eye on my account
