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!

They represent the group of casinos I would ask for the correct contact to get hold of as I say it was back in February

Did the IGA respond in due course? I have Velobet in a corner because they allowed me to deposit when I asked them not too etc after reopening account. They however won't provide me with transcripts that prove me right! They are horrible customer service etc I can't stand them

You can try, but in Germany it is almost impossible to make a chargeback for casinos with reference to the changed transactions.


Most banks block them because Mastercard's chargeback guide states that transactions related to gambling are not eligible for chargeback, so it doesn't matter whether the MCC has been modified.

If you submit a chargeback because you did not receive the service, the banks will ask for receipts, which you cannot submit because there are no receipts.


I even lost in one chargeback case because the merchant presented fake invoices, so be prepared for anything!

I still haven't heard from paymentz and the waiting is painful

The answer may also be painful.


You can also let your creativity run wild when it comes to providing evidence for a chargeback.

No sorry I don’t know who processed the payment. I just contacted Visiola and they refunded me direct. I think I must have just been very lucky at the time.

Do you still have the email address or website you used at all please?

I've noticed your behavior, and I need to address it. It's important that you remain calm. Any future inappropriate posts will be hidden. If you continue to harass others as you have been doing, you may be permanently banned from this forum. Please try to be polite, even if you disagree with somebody.

Though I'm glad to see it was probably a temporary episode, I'm still convinced it was avoidable.

Let's keep it decent all days in a month 😉

Pay op refuse to acknowledge open banking transfers so you have no chance in getting a refund if you’ve paid through bank transfer.



Thank you for contacting us.


Please be informed that Payop does not provide the services directly but only processes the payments for our merchants (websites).


We suggest you contact the merchant directly regarding the refund.

 

Thank you for your understanding.

Best Regards,
