Chargeback Policy

Understanding payment disputes and resolution processes

Last Updated: March 24, 2025

Eco Rummy is committed to maintaining the security and integrity of all financial transactions on our platform. This policy outlines our approach to handling chargebacks and payment disputes.

What is a Chargeback?

A chargeback occurs when a player disputes a transaction with their payment provider or bank, rather than directly with Eco Rummy. This results in a forced reversal of funds from our account back to the player's account through their payment provider or bank.

Chargebacks were originally designed as a consumer protection mechanism against unauthorized transactions, billing errors, or cases where merchants fail to deliver products or services as promised. However, they are sometimes misused to fraudulently obtain both the service and a refund.

Our Approach to Chargebacks

At Eco Rummy, we take all chargebacks seriously and investigate each case thoroughly. We maintain comprehensive transaction records and gameplay logs to verify the legitimacy of all payments and activities on our platform.

We strongly encourage our users to contact our customer support team directly for any payment-related concerns before initiating a chargeback with their bank or payment provider. Most issues can be resolved quickly and efficiently through our support channels.

Legitimate Reasons for Chargebacks

We recognize that there are legitimate reasons for chargebacks, including:

  • Unauthorized Transactions: When someone has used your payment method without your consent
  • Duplicate Charges: When you are charged more than once for the same transaction
  • Technical Errors: When a technical issue results in an incorrect charge
  • Service Not Provided: When you were charged but the service was not accessible due to technical issues on our platform

Chargeback Prevention Measures

To prevent legitimate chargebacks and protect our users, we have implemented several security measures:

  • Secure Payment Processing: All transactions are processed through secure and reputable payment gateways
  • Transparent Billing: Clear description of charges on your bank statement
  • Multi-factor Authentication: Additional security for high-value transactions
  • Detailed Transaction History: Access to your complete transaction history in your account
  • Responsive Support: Quick resolution of payment-related queries

Chargeback Investigation Process

When we receive a chargeback notification, we follow a structured investigation process:

1

Notification

We receive notification of the chargeback from our payment processor.

2

Account Review

We review the account history, including deposit details, gameplay activity, and withdrawal requests associated with the disputed transaction.

3

Evidence Collection

We gather relevant evidence including transaction records, IP logs, device information, and any communication with customer support related to the transaction.

4

Response

Based on our investigation, we submit evidence to the payment processor to contest fraudulent chargebacks or accept legitimate ones.

5

Resolution

The final decision is made by the payment processor or bank based on the evidence provided.

Consequences of Fraudulent Chargebacks

Filing a fraudulent chargeback (also known as "friendly fraud") is a serious offense that constitutes attempted theft and fraud. If we determine that a chargeback has been filed fraudulently, we will take the following actions:

  • Account Suspension: Immediate suspension of the user account
  • Balance Forfeiture: Any remaining balance in the account may be forfeited
  • Evidence Submission: Comprehensive evidence will be submitted to the payment processor to contest the chargeback
  • Legal Action: In severe or repeated cases, we reserve the right to pursue legal action
  • Permanent Ban: Users who file fraudulent chargebacks will be permanently banned from our platform

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for fraudulent chargebacks to protect our business and legitimate users.

Refund Policy vs. Chargebacks

We encourage users to review our Refund Policy and contact our customer support team for refund requests instead of filing a chargeback. Our refund process is typically faster and does not involve the negative consequences associated with chargebacks.

Key differences between refunds and chargebacks:

Disputing Unauthorized Transactions

If you notice an unauthorized transaction from Eco Rummy on your bank statement:

  1. Check your Eco Rummy account transaction history to verify the charge
  2. Review if any family members or others with access to your payment method might have made the transaction
  3. Contact our support team immediately with the transaction details
  4. If the transaction is confirmed to be unauthorized, we will assist in processing a refund and securing your account
