Hva MCC 7800 dekker
Forhandlerkategorikode (MCC) 7800 er ISO 18245-identifikatoren som brukes av kortnettverkene for statseide lotterier (usa-region). Innløsere, utstedere og regulatorer bruker denne koden til å angi mellomliggende avgifter, nettverksavgifter, svindelregler og rapporteringskategorier for hver transaksjon bedriften din behandler.
Statseide lotterikjøp (USA). Å velge riktig MCC er avgjørende: en feil kode kan føre til høyere mellomliggende avgifter, tilleggsgebyrer, eller, i regulerte kategorier, avviste transaksjoner og kontosperringer.
MCC 7800 is designated for Government-Owned Lotteries, specifically within the US region. These merchants are typically state-run agencies selling lottery tickets via various channels including retail terminals and, increasingly, online platforms.
Transactions are almost exclusively consumer-initiated, with small average ticket sizes for individual tickets but potentially larger sums for multi-draw or subscription purchases. Frequency is high for active lottery players.
This MCC is unique due to its direct association with governmental bodies and highly regulated nature.
Chargebacks are generally low, primarily stemming from unintended purchases (e. g.
, accidental clicks online) or family fraud, where cards are used without authorisation. However, the regulatory oversight and often clear terms of sale minimise disputes related to service delivery.
Schemes like Visa and Mastercard classify this activity under specific regulated gaming categories, which can influence interchange rates and fraud monitoring. Cardflo provides robust payment processing for regulated industries, helping manage compliance and transaction routing effectively for US government lotteries.
Acquirer & underwriting stance
Regulated specialist board. Due to the gaming nature and government oversight, this MCC requires specific licensing and compliance checks.
Acquirers often apply higher scrutiny and may require financial guarantees or reserves, such as a 5-10% rolling reserve for online channels, to mitigate exposure to regulatory fines or potential fraud given the nature of gambling transactions.

Vanlige spørsmål
Are there specific scheme rules for US government lotteries under MCC 7800 regarding card payments?
Yes, Visa and Mastercard have specific rules for regulated gambling. Transactions generally fall under 'Quasi Cash' or 'Gambling' categories, which can incur higher interchange fees.
Issuers may decline these transactions more frequently due to perceived risk, parental controls, or specific cardholder limits on gambling. Cardflo’s intelligent routing can help navigate these complexities and optimise approval rates.
How does Cardflo assist US government lotteries with regulatory compliance and fraud prevention for online sales?
Cardflo's platform is designed to support the stringent compliance requirements of regulated industries.
This includes robust age verification tools, geolocation services to ensure transactions occur within legal jurisdictions, and advanced fraud detection systems to identify patterns indicative of unauthorised use or problem gambling behaviour, aligning with state and federal regulations.
Are chargebacks for 'unauthorised transactions' common for online lottery ticket purchases?
While overall chargeback rates are low, 'unauthorised transactions' can occur, particularly if minors or family members use a card without permission.
Cardflo's enhanced fraud tools, such as 3D Secure, help mitigate this by adding an additional layer of authentication, shifting liability to the issuer for many fraud types, and thereby reducing merchant exposure.
