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!

It's madness isn't it. I hope that we can all ride this together and the more reports we all make to certain authorities the better, so we can all get some form of acknowledgement for the shit we have suffered.

In regards to grotobook guys, I am going to push for refunds through the bank. Their T&Cs say you can refund books if not fully read. However if you ask for a refund they do not provide you it, say you have purchased a book, that is against their own t&Cs and also against consumer protection, we have no receipts, no books, not even made the transactions. Therefore we win the argument.

casinos  hire third party payment processors who miscode payments to and from the operator, representing to the bank or card provider that the payment is for something other than gambling. This is effectively money laundering in my opinion have no legal training, or background.

Any one who has Smpay Smpf* etc..


I think I may be on to something and I think it could be down to Magua pay! If you look at smart payments and also SMTM it's all just a bit of a coincidence and if you go on theplatinum.co they are also magua.. 🤨🤨🤨file

You won’t get a reply from magua pay. Owned by SMTM group. I contacted the lawyer Steven Moir in Canada who is listed on magua pay website on the address. He claims no knowledge. I then reported them to the Canada FCA equivalent who said they can’t help. I also contacted the Cyprus authorities who told me to contact my bank. One of the owners of Magua has living in the UK so I contacted him on linked in and he declined to have a conversation with me
