Match the Merchant Description Before Reporting a Charge
A statement can show a payment processor or merchant description rather than the public casino name. The descriptor alone is not enough to confirm or reject a transaction. Match it to the signed-in cashier history and personal receipts before deciding whether the charge is recognised.
Open the current casino offerMatch the cashier receipt
Compare the transaction time, amount, funding method and gateway reference with the casino deposit history. Posting dates can differ from authorisation dates.
Check authorised household access
Determine whether an authorised cardholder or account user made the payment. Do not publish the descriptor or full statement while asking in a public forum.
Report a genuinely unknown payment
Secure the casino and email accounts, contact the funding bank and provide the merchant trace evidence. Preserve the original entry rather than editing screenshots.
What to keep
Store the exact descriptor, amount, currency, authorisation date, posting date, cashier ID and gateway reference in one reconciliation row.
