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!

No, that's ridiculous. Three guesses as to why nobody's answering?

I contacted Action Fraud to dispute fraudulent payments, but they closed the case, ruling in favor of the merchant without even consulting them or carrying out the appropriate checks.

I'm wondering if anyone has come across anything with Action fraud or is it pointless to file complaints with them.

Was this Action Fraud in the UK?


They are more of a service for reporting fraud, was it this address?

Any uk/eu residents with payments to listed merchants should submit a DSAR request to aureavia. You can ask for payments transaction data, and also request full merchant transparency. I have sent one and will update with outcome

Is there any news about Swipez? Has anyone received a refund recently, or is the matter finally settled? Is it worth hiring a lawyer in the Czech Republic? What's your opinion?

Hello can any one help me find: FLTISO, CDESHOP, VXRADR, ORBSEO. I'm having such a hard time.

I have plenty of time on my hands to get money back from online gambling.


My last case was successful by lodging the dispute with the bank which was declined. I then lodged a complaint case which once again was declined.


The last thing I did was contact AFCA which is the financial ombudsman in Australia. After I lodged the complaint with AFCA the bank folded then refunded me the money because case management fees can be way over $500


It does take a lot of energy but I do feel bad that the bank took responsibility and paid me as goodwill gesture.


I am doing the same thing with a different bank and hopefully they will fold too when I log an AFCA case, I did not lie and told the bank I gambled, authorised the transaction then lost my deposit.


My case is a bit different because the bank knows I have a disability and may not make correct decision making skills.


Would have loved them to chase the bastards to get the money back through Mastercard. They just said takes too much time and faster to return your money ourselves

I think that ship has sailed. They've probably packed their bags and left.

Not paying fines that authorities have not paid is the dumbest thing you can do.

I think so too but they don't reply to emails.

Csskinpro.shop (Cybgeu) is now closed but was owned by Andreas Bitis' Cyberflow Production LTD which was initially based at 128 city Road as skinnforcs.

I also contacted Andreas Bitis on social media but I think he blocked me because I can't find him anymore.

Yes, that's the right website.

I assume this was about companies based in the UK?


If so, I'd try again and provide as much information/evidence as possible;

  • Deposits on the casino website
  • Emails from casino showing deposits
  • Bank statements showing the corresponding merchant that isn't the casino
  • Evidence of you trying to contact them
  • Any other relevant info

Even then, they're only really a reporting facility who then pass the information on to the UK police.

As far as I'm aware, Action Fraud won't actually help you get your money back, as such. But they might bring the fraudsters to justice.


What exactly did you report to them and what was their reply?
