Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: CCBill, LLC is an Arizona-based payment processor founded in 1998. It specializes in billing for industries that mainstream processors like Stripe or PayPal won't touch — most commonly adult entertainment websites, dating platforms, and certain gaming or fan content sites. When you subscribe to one of these sites, the charge does not appear under the site's own name. Instead, CCBill bills your card under its own descriptor: CCBILL.COM followed by an asterisk and a short site code. That code may look nothing like the website name you remember, which is why this charge catches people off guard.
