Well this is what the response I would expect to hear from CCBILL, VISA and MC may not have 'dating sites' targeted as high risk, they may not make a distinction between a regular dating site and an 'adult dating site'.
Out of curiosity I just did a free join on a popular adult dating site, complete scam, first it is basically an adult paysite members area with a ton of porn videos. Then there's a 'pinboard' section where members post ex-gf amateur type photos, the members are almost all male. A quick look at the female profiles, easy to see these are NOT real girls, pics taken off facebook, twitter, exgf sites. I don't see how a site like that would have a lower chargeback rate than a paysite. The membership price is lower than a paysite though, 15 bucks a month and I think their longer membership options are not recurring.
