My usual subscription got cancelled out of the blue, which I have had running since 2007, so naturally it was a WTF moment.
Contact CCP, they say bank decline it.
I contact bank, they say "The Norwegian government does not allow payment to foreign gambling/online gaming with credit cards."
I tried for 45 minutes explaining EvE has nothing to do with gambling. They suggest I talk to CCP again if any other Norwegians have contacted them regarding it.
Figured I'd throw this out on the forums too to see if there are any?

Sounds like lot of nationalistic, protectionist, isolation going on.

This is the first thing that popped to my mind... Apparantly Norway has been getting flak due to Protectionism. |

After all, google EVE and you wlil see pages with "game", "money" in their content... all that oil and the government dun want to let you spend it on other countries. Pretty messed up indeed, same as Finland trying to block cc payments to online gambling companies.

Technically, you are gambling with the equivalence of real life money every time you undock. It is just that you can never cash out more than $14.95 in free game time a month. "Entitlement" is a euphemism for "I hate the way you play and it makes me cry like a baby". If you fantasize about being immoral it means you enjoy being immoral deep down. |

OK, this is just getting embarrasing. We really should call each other before we choose our outfits for the day. |

Can't say I've heard of this before, but it's something that could really only be cleared up with the bank itself if they're blocking payment types that they could otherwise allow. GM Nythanos | Senior Game Master |

Maybe they kept seeing "risk vs reward" related with Eve and assumed it must be gambling related? |

There was a post last week by a guy whose credit card company denied payment to CCP because the type of charge kept changing. One month it was "online book seller" the next it was "video game". I'll try and dig it up.
Re international gambling; its a menace, just sucks tax revenue out of the local economy for no good reason. The state is going to have to go all in on online gambling itself to compete, or send assassins abroad. The scary thing is that this movement could give the world courts some teeth, and an issue to congeal around.
But to get back OT let me look for that post...
This is a youtube playlist going over my first 30 ship losses. Video sucks but the audio came out well.There are some good lessons, and if you know the game there's some funny stories. |

How nice of governments and politicians.
First they royally screw us common folks off with their oh-so-great globalization with some "little" side effects like lowering workers wage, killing local industry to import toxic materials low cost stuff from eastern countries and so on.
Then, when globalization would help common folks they forbid us to reap the advantages. Sounds good! Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

That's just the Iron Law of Wages V. Only way around it is laws regulating industry and finance.

You might be able to get around this by purchasing time codes, depending on where the site is located it may not register as the same thing. |

Sorry but I can't follow suit on this one
Maybe it's because CCP have allowed parts of the community to run Gambling applications using in-game currency which you PAY REAL MONEY to access ?? |

I had a similar problem. If you have a US Visa gift card you can't use it to buy PLEX. Visa gift cards are only able to be used on websites that are US-based.

I had a Bank, that would randomly block all transactions outside of the US state i live in, so i had to go paypal route, but they even blocked transactions while i was on a trip to Fla. Their response when i complained was" let us know next time your taking a trip out of state"...... soon as i was able i closed my account to moved to a better bank |

Here's the link a bit of Google-fu found for me: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=209692
The text from the original post is as follows:
Ris Dnalor wrote:"A Video game arcade"
"An online book store"
these are the descriptions that show up as where I'm shopping when I buy plex thru the eve online website and it doesn't cut it.
It makes credit card company fraud departments nervous and transactions are blocked. At least in the u.s. Could we be a little more specific and/or accurate, not to mention consistent. Why is it sometimes one, and not the other?
Aside from the inconvenience of having to wait and call to get the purchase authorized, how much impulse buying of plex do you lose, when the next morning, the purchase doesn't sound like such a good idea?
Very annoying, please fix.
thanks, Ris Dnalor
Edit :: There isn't much useful info in that thread; two other posts, one that contains no useful information, the other a pointless (and unfunny) joke. No dev or other CCP-related post, unfortunately. Mizara's Dollhouse - Do you play with Dolls?

If I ran things any company caught outsourcing would have the CEO and directors convicted of treason and summarily executed. How's that for regulation?
