Honestly though, Visa and MC would take porn in a heartbeat if the dispute rates weren't so high. Like, they were definitely burned by the Mindgeek stuff a few years back, but at it's heart this is a commercial decision because disputes cost them lots and lots of money.


They deal with gambling, they surely can deal with porn.


They do, but gambling (US based) doesn't have the same history of disputes and chargebacks because it's only been around for a few years.

I suspect that they'll start refusing them (or charging them waaaayyyy more) pretty soon.


If it was about dispute rates they would just increase the merchant fees instead of banning it.
