Kysymys rahapelisivustoista, joilla on Curaçaon lisenssi ja joissa käytetään väärää kauppiasluokkakoodia (sivu 377)

Hi guys - wondering has anyone had any luck with "helpersm*AP" ? Or know what company this merchant is attached to? 🤔

I truly understand what you’re going through; I'm in a similar situation myself right now. I have an appointment with a solicitor because my case has become quite complex. I’m currently involved in court proceedings against a third-party payment processor, as it's crucial that they are held accountable and ensure they're dealing with legitimate businesses. I've even involved the Ombudsman regarding my bank, which has taken up so much of my energy over the past three months.

It sounds like you've tried everything possible, and seeking legal advice could feel like a big risk after everything you’ve already lost. I really hope you find the peace of mind you deserve and can eventually move on from this experience. It’s important to remember that your well-being matters most. You’ve got this, and I believe you’ll see your money returned in due time—those who wrong us often face their consequences.

Stay strong, and if you ever feel overwhelmed, don’t hesitate to reach out for support. We all need a helping hand now and then. I’m wishing you all the best—take care of yourself. ☺️

Waiting for the ombudsman in regards to Santeda/Goldenbet, even sent goldenbet support the Curacao licensing stuff but they've basically said that's an issue with the third party, if you could, please report them to the UK gambling commission, i've asked a few people on here to now, one complaint might alert them, multiple in a short space of time might make them investigate properly.

You're welcome! I completely understand how tough this situation must be for you. It's important to know when to step back, and it sounds like you've really tried everything you could. Maybe getting a solicitor would be an option, but that might not be worth it for the amount involved. Just remember, you’ll get your money back eventually, and those who take advantage of others will get their comeuppance. Try to relax and think of this as one of life’s lessons—we're all human, after all. Take care of yourself, and it might be a good idea to steer clear of gambling for now. Stay strong, and sending you lots of good vibes! 🙏

Hi Lou Lou - if you don’t mind me asking what did you bank say to you about pre arbitration? I am just about to go in to the same situation and I was wondering what to expect ?

Just wondering does anyone have experience with virgin money disputes?

They know exactly what they're doing but trying to play stupid, worst of the worst. I've got a reply, takes 20/30 days, they ask for some information then forward it to their "sector specialists", i did try withdrawing from them myself but only option for me was via SEPA, which didn't work with two banks.

Ye they gave me the temporary refund and then on the 28th day took it back - then I spoke to them today and they said they would take it to pre arbitration - said that they would raise it today and then I needed to wait another 30 days to see the outcome ! They had originally raised it as goods and services not received - but I also mentioned today about incorrect mcc codes ! It’s so crazy because from the information I see online the merchant rarely wins pre arbitration so I’m sorry to hear to you didn’t - honestly I don’t really hold out much hope on my side either - but we’ll see - I think the next step after that is the ombudsman

Yes well hopefully you will get something back from the ones you have open - I’ll defo let you know how I get on ! X

In a similar position, accepted my money is gone, if i get it back from FOS then great, but main focus is stopping it happening to someone else. Really does affect your mental health, the stress is horrendous. There needs to be stricter laws on advertising gambling too, my emails are sickening, get texts too... Try not to beat yourself up over it, it's a thing we've all struggled with here and hopefully this is the last time we all go through any gambling problems. I'd honestly get into the mindset it's gone but try and prep a solid case for the FOS and hope for the best, think it's just down to the discretion of the assigned agent for the most part from what i've read. Hopefully this is the last time any of us gamble.
