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!

Hello,

I'll wade into this as well here.


My bank, Revolut, have just frozen my banking facilities including my crypto assets whilst they investigate a potential breach of AML regulations on some of the payments I made to a non-UK casino(I'm in the UK but I'm Irish!). At the moment all I know is that these transactions have appeared and are not the name of the casino but shell companies and also the name of a scam dating site called MyDate. My bank haven't gone into a lot of detail other than asking every single thing about the transactions from device used to IP address, payment popups etc. They are treating this incredibly seriously and my account may be locked out for up to 30 DAYS whilst this is happening.


DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES pay to these offshore operators with a debit or credit card is my advice. I'm told it is a direct contravention of current UK Law and falls into the AML regulations and is known as 'Transaction Masking'.


I have no idea what will happen with this now but heed my warning.

Is there anyone who can answer whether it is worth it or not.. If you are going to commit fraud, it is not worth it. To be honest, it's worth a chance

Maybe Revolut started looking into this now, unfortunately, that made someones account to be blocked at the moment. Which is you, that sucks. Or they just use it as an excuse. I don't know with Revolut you never know.


Hope you manage to get your account and assets back.


For the rest of us, read this, stay away from these scam casinos, it's not worth the risk.

It's so fucking strange that they first paid out to everyone, and then now nothing more than requesting KYC from everyone who emailed. In that they paid everyone back in the beginning, they have already admitted that they made a mistake...

It started from a few, and then it became 100s

so that is probably one of the reasons.

If anyone manages to find contact information/email for "Ticketzone, Les Milles", it doesn't matter if they don't answer.


Need to do a chargeback via Revolut and they require you to contact the seller in order for them to proceed, so I'm stuck there.

Revolut will not perform a chargeback related to gambling. They are involved in this themselves.
