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!

Customerservice@

Desperate addicts will do desperate things, sadly. And yes, this does sometimes include depositing large sums of money at shady casinos.

I can tell you, from bitter personal experience that many of these unlicensed sites will not pay out if you win big.

I'm quite happy to lose money at well regulated and fair casinos and would never dream of charging back those transactions.

You should probably ask yourself why these unlicensed sites don't apply for a UK gambling commission license. If they're all so above board and great, it shouldn't be a problem, right?

And your also leaving out the fact that many of these Curacao casinos are scams with manipulated spins, with little to none rtp. Its a systematic drain on the balance with no chance to win.

And you're stooping to their level!


If things go badly with provider 1, then we'll move on to 2, 3, and 4. You twist things to suit your needs.


Keep doing what you're doing, and then complain when the bank freezes your account.

"Since 2025/2026, British authorities have been working more closely with banks. Transactions to illegal gambling providers can be blocked, and the bank could restrict your account due to 'suspicious activity' or a breach of terms and conditions." Freerolls aren't mentioned, but it would align with what's being read here.


It's your fault – the providers are partly to blame too. However, you're ultimately responsible for yourselves. Install Gamban and similar programs and you won't be able to gamble anymore. Oh wait, then freerolling won't work either...

@Admins:

Feel free to block or delete my account! Posting here is pointless, let alone getting any useful information. The truth sometimes hurts!

Hello,


I have gone through som older bank statements and noticed that deposits i’ve made with credit card to a few betting/casino websites with a Curaçao license just show random company names in countries like Kenya, Nigeria etc that barely show up when I google them.


The deposits themselves were successful,but normally, my bank should’ve rejected these transactions If they had the merchant category code 7995.


My suspicion is that the gambling websites have tried to bypass bank restrictions by making it look like i’m buying e.g clothes and something like that.


My question is - is this even allowed under the Curacao license or in general? And would it be a valid complaint to raise, or will they just ignore this?

I think they will ignore

Clean drama from your post and you will see that You just exposed yourself.

it is not that you would never dream to chargeback UK licensed bookie - you WILL NOT BE ABLE to do that! because payment flow matches with their operations completely.

UK gambling commission is a gang that doesn't allow foreign casinos to get in, Roobet is not able to get that license ever, Stake got kicked out from there recently, these are major operators with cleanest reputation where I play for years. They withdraw millions every day, do you think they don't want to get on UK gambling license?


But somehow you and your chargeback guys prefer still foreign operators. You know why? Cause they are nicer, more fun games available, support is more flexible, they are not corporate style casinos like UK licensed, where they don't update game stock for years.

And at the same time you are ABLE to free run and process your fraud actions towards those operators, playing with house edge and do free run bets.

This is the reason all these people deposit in those casinos and crying here for chargeback, nobody in good mind would deposit in low rating bookie such a sums and later trying to chargeback.


You should ask yourself Why wouldn't you stick with UK licensed operator then?

And I'll tell you the answer - you will never be able to chargeback them that's why.

UK licensed chargeback will lead to investigation from bank, cause casino will provide all logs of deposits and bets. You will get on blacklist of UKGC, Cifas and plus you will get on collection with interest on top cause it is 100% regulated, you are well aware of it, this is the reason you prefer foreign operators vs UK licensed ones. It will lead to bad consequences, while taking advantage and doing fraud with foreign operators will provide you free run bets - this is the exact reason why all these people play with house edge of foreign operators and ruining fair players community and increasing prevention practices at those bookies.

And you are well aware of it, this is clear fraud!
