Mastercard AFT update – gambling transactions can be sent as purchase in Europe

May 29, 2025
Tom Martindell

Mastercard recently removed all gaming and gambling MCCs from their requirement to move to processing Account Funding Transactions (AFTs) in Europe, allowing them to still be sent as purchase transactions.

You can maintain sending these transactions as purchase, avoiding the complexities associated with AFTs.

If you process gambling transactions in the US, AFT processing is still required in this market.
