Vile company actively operating a scam

Vile company actively operating a scam. They have taken over £100 from me now without my consent. I only ever agreed to a free account, they just decided to start charging. When I noticed it was clear they had been taking money from me continuously without my consent. Each time you try to speak to them to contest it takes weeks. They have even taken more money since I've explicitly stated I never gave my permission for them to take any money, never signed up for a paid account, had asked for my account to be deleted and they continued to take money.

They are refusing to refund the money they have taken, even though I only ever signed up for a free account. They will say in the small print that they changed the account type and that is my fault for not seeing that they'd decided to turn me into a paying customer? Absolute lowlife scum of a company!

I cannot advise artists enough to stay clear of this highly malicious company as they will take money from you without your consent and not be helpful in any way! Police being notified.

Update: We've not received further information as requested and therefore have been unable to identify the account to investigate this further.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. While we never charge without notice, we understand that our communication during the transition away from free plans may not have met expectations, and we're sorry for the frustration this has caused.

We have requested further information from you so that we can investigate your account but are yet to receive this from Trustpilot. If you can reach out to support@musicgateway.com, we'll ensure it’s handled as a priority.

A refreshing team to work with.

I had a really great experience with the team at Music Gateway. It's refreshing to work with a music promo company that go above and beyond what they say they're going to do, and to also have direct access to the team working on your campaign. They exceeded the estimated number of streams for my campaign, and I'm really happy with the results for this release.

Their digital platform is one of the best I've used too. I'm considering moving all of my distribution across to them too.

First Time User. Campaign staff very Helpful.

Intelligent Staff. Awesome options for promotional campaigns for different genres of Music Videos. We gained many views on our YouTube Music Video much more than expected by at least 20-30k views.

Charlotte was very understanding with new user questions.

Insights showed me my track was performing stronger in Canada than in the UK, so I doubled down with a promo push there—definitely the right call.

Constructive and Supportive

Sophie gave me straightforward, honest feedback, then went the extra mile to help refine my promo pitch. I truly respect that level of support.

40K Views and the Right Vibe

The TikTok campaign opened me up to a whole new audience. One creator’s video hit 40K views—and they used my track perfectly.

It’s amazing what the right creator and the right track can do together, 40K views is no small thing. Glad the campaign helped you reach a wider audience and that your music was used in such a meaningful way. Onwards and upwards!

100% scam

100% scam! They uploaded my track only on Spotify. I asked when they are going to upload my music on other platforms. For 6 months they still didn't answer. Lost 200€.

Thanks for your feedback, and we're really sorry to hear about your experience.

We distribute to 100s of platforms globally, so if your track only appeared on Spotify, that needs to be investigated. We can’t see any open support tickets linked to this kind of issue, which suggests we may not have received your previous message.

Please reach out directly to support@musicgateway.com with the details of your release and we’ll prioritise this and ensure it’s resolved as quickly as possible.
