Chargeback Specialist
Disputes chargebacks and gathers the evidence that the player really did play with their own money.
Who is this and what does he do?
Every chargeback means lost money plus a scheme fine, and a high chargeback ratio gets your acquiring switched off. A Chargeback Specialist prepares dispute representments, pulls together session logs, KYC documents and gameplay history, tracks the statistics by BIN and provider and proposes preventive measures. A narrow role, but one that pays for itself many times over.
