If a merchant continues to exceed the above thresholds then they will most likely lose their merchant account and receive a TMF (terminated merchant file), which is a very bad thing, being given this status may prohibit the merchant from ever obtaining another merchant account whether it be for adult transactions or for standard non-adult business.

And the rules are changing. Card associations are in the process of approving MANY additional rules/guidelines which will effect high risk merchants. One of which is that they may not allow any company who has previously received a TMF for a merchant account to process high risk transactions, this includes processing with a 3rd party credit card processor! (Epoch,Ibill,CCbill etc..)

Interesting. I wonder when this new rule might take effect? That could be a pretty big deal, I would think, if anyone with a TMF would NOT be able to do even third party processing.

P.S. I'm not trying to get in a flame war or anything like that.

That was hilarious!
