The problem in this specific scenario is, that G2A can't see and is unable to verify in reality, technically and functionally whether the transaction was a legitimate or an illegitimate transaction. They could, and should, decrease the abuse of the system they're using, but they cannot prevent CC fraud, nor actively look for it. Even the bank, doesn't actually know that a transaction is false, until there's a report with a refund request. This can be weeks to months later.
