Mbna Gambling Charges
MBNA credit card customers who agreed a payment holiday because they are struggling due to coronavirus have been mistakenly sent text messages chasing 'overdue' payment. If you're received one of these texts you can safely ignore it – so long as you're sure your payment holiday has been confirmed. JackpotCity is an online casino that was launched in 1998, is licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority Mbna Gambling Charges and is eCOGRA-certified. This casino offers players more than 500 casino games, to be played online with safe and secure banking options and 24/7 support via email and live chat.
Now, everytime you deposit to an online gambling site (such as Paddy Power or Boylsesports, etc.), MBNA will treat it as a cash withdrawal and charge 2.50 euro or 1.5% (whichever is greater). I only noticed it when I logged into my MBNA account on Monday. I am not a big gambler at all. I do some horses on a Saturday. The bank also agreed to pay $400,000 to nonprofit groups that counsel and help families hurt by gambling additions. Citibank previously resisted pressure to block gambling charges, even though other major credit card issuers had done so, including Bank of America, Fleet, Direct Merchants Bank, MBNA, and Chase Manhattan Bank.
Citibank, the nation’s largest credit card issuer, came to an agreement with New York to block online gambling transactions using its credit cards. 'Americans now waste $4 billion a year on this pernicious form of gambling,' New York’s Attorney General said. 'With this agreement, we will cut off an enormous line of credit that was a jackpot for illegal offshore casinos.' The bank also agreed to pay $400,000 to nonprofit groups that counsel and help families hurt by gambling additions.
Citibank previously resisted pressure to block gambling charges, even though other major credit card issuers had done so, including Bank of America, Fleet, Direct Merchants Bank, MBNA, and Chase Manhattan Bank. The New York Attorney General’s investigation, however, resulted in this settlement. Citibank controls approximately 12 percent of the U.S. credit card market.
Meanwhile, the House Judiciary Committee took action on Internet gambling on June 18, 2002, approving the Combating Illegal Gambling Reform and Modernization Act [pdf format] that would make it illegal to use the Internet or other new technologies to operate a gambling business. Federal regulators would be authorized to close down gambling sites found operating through U.S.-based Internet service providers, and would give law enforcement the ability to stop credit card payments to offshore Internet gambling sites. Before coming to a full House vote, the bill must undergo reconciliation with a similar bill approved by the House Financial Services Committee.
Why This Matters: With 12 percent of the U.S. credit card market, Citibank’s participation should give the embargo on online gambling credit a significant boost. Critics of the online gambling bill complain that so many exemptions were included to gain votes that the resulting bill lacks teeth.
