A little warning here for the CG Community: Casino Guru is an open platform where everyone is free to share their thoughts and opinions. We believe in free speech and try to be as non-restrictive as possible. That said, please remember: just because something is posted on the forum doesn’t mean Casino Guru agrees with it or endorses it in any way. We’re really happy to see players engaging in conversations, debating respectfully, and having fun doing so! That’s why we created this platform. However, we’ve noticed a growing trend – not just here, but across other platforms too – where some players, after losing money fairly in a casino, look for ways to get those funds back through their bank or payment provider, often by filing chargebacks or making false claims. We’d like to warn you: this behaviour is not only unfair – it’s also very risky! We’ve already seen and heard stories (here and elsewhere) of people who got into serious trouble trying to go down this route – including closed casino accounts across multiple platforms, closed bank accounts, debts, and even lawsuits (attempted fraud). Attempting fraud or misrepresenting the truth to a bank or provider is never a good idea and could have lasting consequences. So here’s our friendly appeal to all Casino Guru community members: Stand up against unfair and dishonest casinos. Use our Complaints Resolution Center if you need help – you don’t have to fight alone. But please don’t try to get back money you’ve fairly lost. It’s simply not worth the risk. Thanks for being part of our community – and have a great day!

I have contacted them directly. See if we get a reply. Doubt it though

Ja, jag hittade inget mer heller. Jag tog upp problemet med en italiensk bank där jag redan har fått 3 andra klagomål. När proceduren väl är inledd om allt går bra, återbetalar de pengarna i förskott efter inte ens 20 dagar och efter 45 dagar om resultatet är positivt slutar det här, annars ber de om pengarna. Som tur är har jag alltid haft ett positivt resultat, med dem kommer jag också att göra en TRND snart.

I always find that the temp refund either forces the merchant to refund or not falsely claim it was delivered. Chase taking too long is a huge risk I think.

One of my merchants accepted the chargeback 20 days ago. Sent me an email yet Revolut won’t give me the funds and want me to wait 50 days

Jag kan säga att jag förra året lämnade in ett klagomål mot Skingmagnate till den här banken. Banken gav mig pengarna tillbaka efter 15 dagar. Efter 45 dagar skrev de till mig och sa att handlaren hade skickat dem en faktura. Jag svarade att den uppenbarligen var falsk. Det var allt, de bad mig inte om något tillbaka.

Banks are awful for this kind of thing. They know it’s happening but then don’t help you afterwards despite miscoding being illegal

Did anyone ever have any joy with Digikey? Can see some details on the forum but zero response from them

Digikey don’t reply at all mate. Even on chargebacks they don’t respond you have to wait until it expires to get the money back.

Sound - I found something 11 months ago on here they refunded someone but assume they like others thought best off not doing it directly. I will just raise it with bank, they are looking at one from them but didn’t realise I have 3 from them no major issue

Yeah I think most companies now just won’t respond in the hope people don’t go the route of chargeback or the hope they don’t know how to. There’s been a rise in false recipts being made by the looks of it aswel. I’ve just emailed that Feeldate.com let’s see if they respond.

I remember reading on trustpilot that one the companies was responding that as soon as they see chargeback they won’t respond, not sure what that achieves apart from a full refund to us. Luckily Barclays have gone incorrect MCC for me so that will do less chance of comebacks especially if they don’t respond. Waiting on nearly 30 refunds across Chase and Barclays.

Yeah man, terrevers I’m struggling with so that’s had to be a chargeback.


E000348 I’m still struggling with. It would be nice to know the merchant codes used with them but my bank won’t tell me.

Yeah, it’s mainly because if they respond they are accepting they are acting illegally. But if they don’t respond they can just say they didn’t notice the chargeback email.

Dear Support,

I am writing to formally request a full and immediate refund of funds deposited and/or lost on your platform, which I believe were obtained under deceptive, unfair, and potentially unlawful circumstances.

It is clear that your platform operates under a license issued in [Curaçao / Costa Rica / Anjouan] yet actively accepts players from the United Kingdom, without holding a UK Gambling Commission license. This constitutes illegal remote gambling under Section 33 of the UK Gambling Act 2005. By offering gambling services to UK consumers without legal authorisation, your company is violating UK law and is open to regulatory and legal sanctions.

I am currently initiating the following actions:

Reporting this operation to the UK Gambling Commission, Action Fraud, and the National Crime Agency

Filing complaints with:

The Curaçao Gaming Control Board and the Ministry of Finance (if Curaçao-licensed)

The Directorate General of Gaming in Costa Rica, via the Ministry of Finance (Hacienda) (if Costa Rica-based)

Anjouan Gaming Board or Comoros Financial Authorities (if licensed under Anjouan)

Requesting revocation or review of your license based on cross-border regulatory violations and consumer fraud

Notifying Interpol and Europol's Cybercrime Centres, particularly given the transnational nature of the alleged violations

Legal options currently being pursued include:

UK Civil Proceedings for restitution under:

The Consumer Rights Act 2015

The Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008

UK Misrepresentation Act 1967

Legal consultation for initiating a Letter of Request (LOR) to authorities in Curaçao, Costa Rica, or Comoros for the purpose of legal cooperation and financial restitution

Filing an OECD Complaint via the National Contact Point (NCP) in the Netherlands (for Curaçao cases) concerning violations of international consumer protection standards

Reporting to the Financial Ombudsman or Data Protection Authority if GDPR violations (e.g. unlawful use of personal data) have occurred

If I do not receive written confirmation of a full refund within 7 calendar days, I will proceed with the above actions, including full publication of your platform’s conduct across consumer watchdog websites, social media channels, and online casino scam tracking services.

This is your final opportunity to resolve the matter amicably and avoid regulatory exposure and legal proceedings across multiple jurisdictions.

Sincerely

this is template you can use for casinos if needed by the way.


I have one for crypto casinos if anyone wants me to drop that
