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!

To begin with, you should file a police report, explain to the bank what happened, and if they refuse, go with a lawyer. The lawyer will know what to say, but banks have a duty of care; they usually reach an agreement before going to court because they know it's unlikely they'll win in court, and if they lose, they set a precedent.

You could do all that yourself without a lawyer. And it wouldn't be your bank you'd be taking, it would be the merchant on the statement.

Banks are not legally obligated to raise chargebacks, its a voluntary scheme. But they do have a duty of care to act in fairness to all customers.

Given the amount of transactions to various merchants, it could be easy for a bank to prove claimant knew exactly what they were doing.

Lawyer might only tell you any of this after you have paid them.

I've made quite a bit of money back with Mastercard, even though it's a gamble; if you plan it right, there are options.


But let's be honest, banks aren't stupid, and I understand it's frustrating that they don't initiate chargebacks, but if someone doesn't authorize 10-15 transactions and receives nothing... that's suspicious, and that's where the problem starts.

No banks aren't stupid, and collectively they would have a list of each and every merchant on this thread from start to end. Some would even know who they are. Some would even be a part of it and getting paid. If you mention gambling with mastercard, it is up to your bank to raise or not, 95% time they will not as mastercard rules tell them not to. Mastercard also getting paid out of it.

You could do it yourself, but it doesn't have the same pressure.


The bank is obligated if you give a valid reason, and that's where the lawyer comes in.


You think it's easy for the bank to prove that, but what proof does the bank have? A judge doesn't look at whether you placed a bet or not, but rather whether the bank acted correctly in response to your request. If you're unsure, go and ask a lawyer.

If anyone has experience of getting a refund directly from Kryptonium after a few back and forths then I’d pay to see the emails (if I was to also secure a refund). Clearly wouldn’t be quoting your name, purely using the same successful angles of attack.


Same goes for falcora finance or transferop but I feel like I’ve seen minimal success from anyone there. My emails footyheadlines1966@outlook.com


thanks
