This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
In any case, the decision to add extra security checks when using credit cards would be an operational decision for credit card companies, not the Government or Parliament.
If you want a ban on credit cards being used for gambling, you may wish to sign this petition instead: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/213506
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
