Just took a look at my bank statement and there are three withdrawals to this mob. 

I've had a bet with a few bookies during this period but have never seen 'Casinos-PCAS' on my statement before and none of the totals seem to correspond with any bets I remember having.

Any ideas?  I'm assuming my card's been hijacked.

I handed in my card behind a bar on Friday night, I've got a good mind to machine gun the place.

Is it anything to do with Personal Carbon Allowances TP?

I seem to have taken a bet on Russia to win against Slovakia and I have no recollection of placing that bet.  That I am sure is a PCA, (p1ssed but comatose alcohol)

I have looked up PCA and the only thing I can see it relating to is  Pokerstars Carribean Adventure.  I don't think I was drunk enough to be in the Bahamas and not remember.  If only...

The statement says 'Purchase in CASINOS-PCAS' which leads me to believe it wasn't anything online.  I have spoken to my bank but I didn't get the most intelligent customer services chap.

Looks like having to cancel the card...

Someone on the football forum had the same issue and the same bank (Cahoot).  Looks like it's them who've screwed up as their site was down for a couple of days.

It's William Hill.  Not sure if it's my bank or WH who are muppets for using such a random reference.

You didn't remember depositing exactly the £125, £150 and £175 that you said showed up on your statement?? Shocked

No.  I keep a spreadsheet with all of my bets but none of my bets were of these amounts, so I assumed it wasn't online gambling.  Especially as my bank termed these expenditures as 'Purchase In ...' whilst all of my other online bets say 'Card Payment To ...', so it was rational to believe they weren't online bets.

What's obviously happened is that I've had to top up my account to have bets in excess of the amounts I've stated.  Why it says 'Purchase In' instead of 'Card Payment To' is beyond me.

Why would it be a bet? It would be a deposit to them. Like I said, you didn't remember? Strange.

Glad you sorted it now tho and card hasn't been skimmed.

just had the same thing with withdrawal date today.  I'm guessing its a WHill payment from Thursday (its the only payment matching the amount), but will confirm once I find out

I've had the same.  In my case I tracked it as a deposit to BetNGo poker room, but they also have a casino etc.
