Why is my card declined for online gaming transactions?

Why is my card being declined for online gaming?

Some banks block card transactions with merchants classified under code 7995. This code identifies online gaming businesses.

Your card can be declined if your bank has restrictions on this transaction code.

 

What should I know about card restrictions?

• Banks identify online gaming merchants using transaction code 7995.
• Card payments may be processed by third-party payment providers, not your bank.
• Some bank representatives may not have visibility of restrictions related to merchant code 7995.

That can lead to incorrectly confirming that no block is in place.

 

How do I confirm if my card has online gaming restrictions?

Contact your bank and ask specifically about restrictions related to merchant code 7995.

If possible, request confirmation from a bank manager or specialist team with access to card transaction policies.
