Is Visa allowing 'teen' domains? - GoFuckYourself.com

I seem to remember a few months ago people saying that Visa was rejecting paysites that had the word 'teen' in them.

Was it just those few people? Or is this a new rule?

I think they are allowing them (teenkelly.com is up and new) so I assume they are taking them. I wouldn't however use one because knowing Visa, things aren't stable.

BRISK, I think they'd have a hard time outlawing that one as eightTEEN and nineTEEN have the words teen in them.

Although we both know this is abused by those who cross the line and hint at underage activitiy. But it will be hard for them to extinguish that one. But, never say never right, I guess.

A friend of mine got a legal teen site rejected by VISA a few weeks ago.

I had one account shitcanned due to teen in the domain name a few months ago. My suggestion. do not attempt to open account with any US billing company if your domains have teen in them.. visa will not approve it and then send a nice letter to every other processor you use advising the "to terminate you immeadiatly or face possible loss of merchant account"... appeals process... NONE. unappealable as "visa does not wan't any account with the word TEEN in it. so as to protect it's brand. period". at least thats what my billing processor said. keep in mind this particular site was up since 1996 with no problems. My suggestion... use verotel or another offshore site if you MUST have teen sites.
