Why this is classified high risk

MCC 5967 (adult digital goods) and adult dating carry some of the highest structural chargeback exposure in card processing — friendly fraud and "I don't recognize this charge" disputes are routine. Generalist processors won't accept the risk.

Adult-specialized acquirers price for the vertical, tolerate higher chargeback ratios, and provide the recurring billing infrastructure that subscription content sites require.
