    I made a purchase through Xsolla on July 6, 2025, for a Badlion Premium subscription (Badlion is operated by **************). Prior to purchase, I reviewed Badlions official refund policy, which clearly stated that refunds were available for subscriptions if requested within 48 hours. I requested a refund within 24 hours, but the company denied it, stating all sales were final. When I quoted their refund policy back to them, they responded that their own public-facing policy was "incorrect" and still refused to refund me.They ignored my follow-up communications entirely. This conduct constitutes false or misleading advertising, as the purchase was made based on a publicly stated refund policy that they later disclaimed and refused to honour.Since Xsolla was the payment processor for this transaction, I am filing this complaint to alert you that your platform is being used to process payments for a merchant engaging in deceptive practices. I have also filed a complaint with ************* and initiated a chargeback with my bank.I am requesting a full refund of this transaction and for Xsolla to investigate this merchants practices in line with your responsibility as the payment processor. I can provide screenshots of the refund policy, all communications, and proof of timing upon request

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Xsolla Support and for providing detailed information regarding your recent transaction and experience with Badlion. We sincerely regret to hear about the difficulties you've encountered and understand your frustration, especially regarding the conflicting refund policy and lack of follow-up from the merchant. At Xsolla, we take concerns involving transparency and fair business practices very seriously.

    We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. As the payment processor, our role includes ensuring that transactions on our platform meet the standards expected by both customers and regulatory bodies. We will reach out to the merchant directly to clarify the situation and address the concerns raised.

    Thank you again for your patience and for bringing this issue to our attention.

    On January *****th of this year, I purchased a package through scopely that xsolla processed the paynent for. Scopely did not provide me with the proper pack and would not initiate a refund for me, so I filed a chargeback on my credit card. Xsolla has flagged this as fraud even though my bank did a fraud review before returning my money. Now I am locked out of my account that I need to pay for my game and therefore cannot progress properly. They asked for copies of stuff they already had and after i gave them everything they still said it was fraudulent and that I can never do business with them again.

    Hello,

    We're sorry to hear that you faced this issue. Please note that we take security and compliance very seriously, when we receive any notification about unauthorized payments, we block the whole access to our payment platform for security reasons. 

    We may consider unlocking your account from our side, if you verify yourself as the owner of the payment account. Unfortunately, we do not see any latest requests from you in our records. Please, feel free to contact us at ******************************* so that we could investigate the issue and help you.

    Thank you!

    Complaint: 23573353

    I am rejecting this response because: i already contacted your customer service multiple times, I sent them copies of my bank statement with the transaction in it. I don't know how I can prove i own the account any better. They told me they could not help, and that the system would not allow them to help. Sending me back there does not solve the problem. I get an appreciate security, but at some point you guys need to figure out something better than the system you have now to respond to people's complaints. You have customer service agents who from the automated responses they give come off cold and seem pleased and incentivized make sure they do not provide any help. All I wanna do is spend money through you.  I spend like ***** bucks a.month on this game, it wasn't like i was moving thousands of dollars a month through or something. *****************************,  **********. All I want is help, and not one person ut of the many i have talked to has bothered to try, i just get the same stupid contact this email response which brings me full circle to the same nightmare. The twilight zone of customer service.

    I recently attempted (circa February 12, 2024) to purchase items from the online store for Magic the Gathering Arena on the Epic Gaming platform. I have been playing the game and purchasing "gems" from the online store within the game for the past several years with no problem. This time, I received an 3032 error, which indicated that I should contact their customer service. When I did, their customer service claimed that my account had been blocked due to a contested purchase last year, and have no recollection or indication of having contested a charge. Xsolla refuses to unlock my account. My username on the Epic Gaming system and for Magic the Gathering Arena is GunsmokeTribeca#*****

    Refund Request Denied Tribe Nine Game Shut Down Early (Tookyo Games / Xsolla)I am filing a complaint about the mobile game Tribe Nine, published by ************. The game officially launched on February 20, 2025. On May 15, 2025, the developers announced that the game would shut down, only 84 days after launch. They also canceled all promised updates, content, and future support.The game advertised long-term service, events, updates, and new content. Based on these promises, I spent a total of $810.48 through their official payment platform, Xsolla. I expected to enjoy the game for a long time, not for only a few weeks.After the shutdown announcement, the developers stated that the servers would remain open until November 2025. However, no more updates or content will be added. The game is now in a dead state with no real service. It is not what I paid for.I requested a refund from Xsolla, but they denied it. I believe this is unfair. The product I paid for has changed drastically, and the promises made at purchase were not kept.I believe this is false advertising and a violation of consumer rights. ************ and Xsolla offered a live service game and took payments based on future content and service, then canceled everything shortly after release without offering refunds.Please help me recover the money I spent. I am asking for a full refund of $810.48. I have proof of payment, game shutdown announcements, and records of my requests.Thank you for your support.Links and attachments are included below.1.

    I have been attempting to cancel a subscription to the ******** service, which is processed through Xsolla, since late 2024. Despite following all listed instructions, I am unable to cancel the subscription using their designated system.Xsolla requires customers to input a transaction ID through their "Wallet" system to access and manage subscriptions. However, when using a valid transaction receipt from November 29, 2024, I receive an error stating, Give your new purchases some time before you add them. This makes no sense, as the purchase is well over 5 months old.There is no other cancellation option available on the ******** site, and Xsolla provides no clear path to cancel without relying on a broken system. This has resulted in recurring charges of $6 per month, with no accessible way for the customer to stop them.I submitted a support ticket to both companies but am submitting this BBB complaint due to the lack of transparency and the seemingly intentional difficulty in canceling a subscription. This practice appears predatory and misleading.

    Hello,

    I understand how frustrating this situation must be, and I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Unfortunately, the refund manager unable to proceed with a fraud claim because the ****** anti-fraud system did not flag the payment. This can sometimes happen due to security measures when payments are made from unfamiliar locations or devices. 

    In this case, the refund manager recommend you reaching out to ****** support directly, as they have access to more detailed information about your usual payment patterns, including the devices, IP addresses, and services you've paid for. They will be able to carefully review your claim, compare these patterns, and guide you on the best course of action for these transactions. ****** support will be able to assist you further.
