I made a deposit with this casino and they double charged my credit card. I've spoken to them numerous timesJ by phone and by email and they have yet to rectify this issue. It has been confirmed by two different people that my account with them only shows one deposit (as it should) but my credit card shows two withdrawals of the same amount at the exact same time. These people are not trying to give me my money back. I even provided a screen shot of the transactions as per their request and now they won't respond to my emails.
Why would there be a need to put aside money for a prepaid credit card?
Hello,
Please see the below information provided to us by our 3rd party payment processing specialists.
We hope that this information will be sufficient for the player to advance his claim with his issuing bank:
“Please be advised that the client is charged only once by the acquirer and we are not ‘holding” any additional “reservation money” on our side.
Please be advised that a lot of issuers take authorization money at the date a transaction is processed and put it aside and sometimes it is visible to the end user.
Once the transactions are being transmitted to the bank the money is indeed charged from the client’s card (the real charge usually takes place a couple of days after the transaction is processed). In case the issuer puts aside the money for the authorizations it should be returned to the account later on.
Every issuer bank has its own policy and in the case of the client below it appears that the issuer bank is holding the money for 28 days; it is the issuer bank who has the policy to hold the money for one more month and it is not connected to an issue on our or on the acquirer bank end.
If the issuer bank still claims that they need additional information from the acquirer in order to release the additional amounts put on hold (“cancel the reservation”) please kindly ask the customer what kind of details was requested by the issuer and we will forward the request to the acquirer bank.”
We will not be entering into further correspondence on this matter on this forum - our complaints handling process is well established and includes escalation by a complainant to the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner if the customer sees fit.
If the player seeks any further assistance from us we would encourage him to contact us directly (as we have repeatedly advised), as no further response will be forthcoming via this thread.
Many Thanks,
Customer Support Team

Hi Kelly,
I contacted my credit card provider two weeks ago after I tried to use my card and it was declined. They advised me to contact Onisac. I've made several attempts to contact this company with no success. After being prompted to hold the call disconnects. Also, I've never had an issue with this credit card company in the past so I'm sure you can understand my suspicion and why I've been so adamant about obtaining satisfactory explanation from your company.
In regards to the conflicting times that the transactions were made; according to you "transactions run on GMT and cannot be changed to reflect any other time zone". GMT would mean that you are five hours ahead of eastern time. I authorized one deposit of $60 at 11:41pm so the time reflected on what was sent to me should have been 4:41am. Can you understand my confusion?
