For the prices they charge you might as well go with 2checkout or worldpay,

Both does not support adult sites and we need one merchant account to support a few customers who own adult sites.

Anyone with a suggestion?

ccbill is amazing, 16% per transaction and a lot of other restricted rules but unfortunately it seems to be the only one.

Anyone else with an alternative?

16%!!! Christ. I guess they're covering the masses of chargebacks they doubtless see.

The adult business is too high risk, ccbill seems good option however you could check with few other option like chronopay/netbilling /jettis.com etc especially for low charges.

If you have clients transmitting adult material you may get hammered by the DC operator as well as some insist upon such material being taken down. I think live and let live meself but as philb states - loads of chargebacks. Mind you I was quoted by Worldpay for simple hosting and was asked for a £5,000 security deposit! That's no adult content at all....or gaming, or gambling.

Worldpay are jokers. Don't waste your time or money with them. We're using nochex's pseudo merchant thing now and rates are sensible and security retainers etc based on what we sell and its value.

Take a look at multicards.com, I think they accept your type of site.

I would have to say CCBILL, I have used them to pay for things and they are quick with their support.
