32red.com stole £2 and blaims my bank

[vinylweatherman]

I have used cards in the past at 32Red, which included having to enter the CCV number. At no time was a certain amount "reserved", neither is this necessary where the transaction is authorised on the spot by eBanking websites, as the transaction itself will be validation enough - if there is no money on the card, the Microgaming cashier will reject the transaction and ask you to contact support. I have had a couple of card transactions suffer this, and it has been the case that when the card company declines the transaction, or the card has insufficient funds, the casino will not process the deposit.
This charge must originate from the banks, and it MAY be that when they were contacted to verify the card, they realised that all along 32Red was a casino! - They may have thought it to be some kind of internet retail store with a trendy name
32Red is among the few that do not have the word "casino", in it's name, nor even any reference to gambling, such as "something" CLUB - or "vegas" whatever. It would take someone familiar with Roulette to suspect 32Red might be a casino, the other one, called "Dash" would also slip under the radar if it billed accounts as simply "Dash" rather than "Dash Casino".

VWM, it gets billed on my statement (see post on page 3) as Trafalgar Betting. Is it billed differently in Europe/the UK? Just curious.

Just incredulous.

Just ammended your post to be more truthful.

I think you got me wrong.
The amount is not 'reserved' when you actually make a deposit, instead this meassure is used by some casinos when you REGISTER your card details (to verify the card actually exists, i.e. to prevent the unlikely case that you mistyped AND the card checksum is valid)

Zoloth, could they be a verification charge as casplayer suggested?

That is possible but then I would think that 32red would have told me of this instead of blaming my bank for almost a month.

[Pinababy69]

Well, if you ever get a definitive answer to this, could you come back and post? If charges start popping up on your card when you deposit at other casinos with it, then I'd say you'll know for sure your bank is feeding you a line. If it never happens again, I really don't know what to think.

Have you ever used this particular card at any other casino? Again, just curiousity.

perhaps they did not take this into consideration as it has never happened before..

[henryVIII]

Again, just cannot believe one of my affiliated casinos is wrong. It must be your bank.

Just clarified your post for non-affiliate readers.

You havent told anyone they are "a moron", "what the fuck is your problem", "this is the worst post ever" or "go fuck yourself", etc etc yet.

That is pinanbabys usual response to any criticism of any of her affiliates.

Banks are so untrustworthy ... if only they had the legal safeguards all your affiliated casinos have, eh?

Bloody banks ... they should be as tightly regulated as 32red and the rest of pinababy's affiliated casinos are.

Now, dont you look silly????

There is a reason pinababy goes quiet ... and its not because she is a "fun loving gal" believe me ..

Unless you think "going fucking yourself" is your definition of a fun loving gal.

Sounds too close to masturbation for my money .... but she posts the stuff ... I can only highlight the stupidity ot it ... but, hey, if you live in a town where pinababy is your definition of "a fun lovin' gal" ...

... then MOVE MOVE MOVE

... save yourselves boys
