E-PRO payment provider?

[Luciana]

Helloooooo or maybe good morning

 

I was reading T&C of Casino Room, when I found something I haven't heard of before, under Deposits, Transfers and Withdrawals:

 

"E-PRO is a payment provided by EMP Corp, an E-Money agent, based on E-money and E-wallet. E-PRO is an E-Voucher issued by EMP Corp, being resold by First Remit Limited (UK), a registered money service business with Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs certificate number 12679642 & fully authorized by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) as a payments institution with reference 622935. E-Pro e-Vouchers resold by First Remit will show in your card statement as "Online Payment" An E-VOUCHER, constituting electronic money, is generated in the event of an intervention by EMP Corp to pay for the services offered on the MERCHANT SITE If the payment service provider is EMP Corp, the transaction will result in the creation and purchase of electronic money issued by an E-money Issuer, to be used to credit an E-wallet."

 

 

What is E-PRO, does anybody know and what is it's purpose?

Hi good morning Luciana!

 

Me personally I never came across that payment method before. But it does sound a lot like Paysafecard or Ukash, a voucher you can buy at various stores in most countries.

Never heard of it. 

 

But yeah, as Adebisi pointed out  it really looks like a Paysafe Card and Ukash payment options...

Ive used this before. Its similar to Ticket Surf and Ticket Premium. 

 

All bank transactions are tagged with an international merchant code that describes the transaction (E-gaming, Online store purchase, services and so on). In Norway the government decided that they would try to stopp people from gambling online.

 

Its not illegal but they decided that banks should block transactions that are tagged with this transaction code. In all effect they basicly stopp Norwegian Visa and credit cards from being used in such transactions.

 

E-pro, and the above mentioned vouchers allow casinos to accept payments from Norwegian cards by allowing the customers  to buy this voucher that are labeled with a different merchant code than e-gaming.

 

Hence they get around the problem of not allowing their Norwegian customers to use their cards.

Thanks mates

 

Is it payment method available only to Norwegians?

[Adebisi213]

Couldn't they a pick a name without any competition lol. Just tried to Google it and tons of other stuff comes up, it's prolly just a regional payment method like LL pointed out.

Would you like it to be E-PROS instead?

Men would soon be clambering to their websites I guess...all for the wrong reasons!

Haha whatever works Afi, guess they didn't really give it a good thought.
