What happens if a credit card does not let a transaction go through for online gambling?

I’ve used a credit card for online gambling before with no problems. I never knew that that wasn’t allowed. Anyways, recently some of those transactions never went through with the credit card. They remained pending then dissappeared. When I made the deposit on the gambling site they went through normally and I was able to use that deposit but my credit card never charged me for it. Does the online site have any way to collect the money from me? I’m not trying to cheat them with a bounced check or anything, the transaction just didnt go through since apparently once credit card companies are aware of a gambling transaction they won’t let it go through. What should I do?

By the way these charges I’m referring to are over 1 month old.

I own a small business which often takes credit card numbers over the phone as a deposit. We recently had a customer no show, and she contested through her credit card company when we charged her (she claims it wasn’t explained when she gave us her #). The credit card company took her side and said it is policy to allow anyone contesting to get their money back if there is no signature. How can this be? So many hotels and services take card #’s as deposits!

What to do when your credit card company causes overdrafts at your bank?

I recently paid my credit card bill of $2.27, however the credit card company entered the payment as $227.00, causing $50 in overdraft fees at my bank. The credit card company had me fax over a statement with the bank fees on it so they can take care of it, however after 3 weeks they still haven’t done it, they tell me that they don’t even know if the statement is in the building and that they get hundreds of faxes a day and as soon as they get to it, they will handle it, what if this takes months? Is there a way I can make them take care of this matter more quickly? I just went ahead and paid my banks fees just so I could use my bank account again. Did I do the right thing? What if the credit card company never received the fax and they end up asking for another one, how can I make sure that they receive it? They corrected the mistake between the $2.27 and $227.00, maybe that’s all I can hope for.
