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!

Do you have email for Steven Moir please? SMTM, Magua and all their other associated companies are some of the worst offenders out there

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. 


I am worried casino connected me with various dubious companies, I have researched some of the companies on the bank statement and a lot  anunidentifiable statement name with no links to any services I’ve used. 


They should have secure and reliable payment systems, safeguarding players' financial information and transactions. Additionally, they must adhere to financial regulations, including data protection laws, and not processing my payments through several company’s and countries.

I have emailed them and they’ve replied as such;


Hello,


Unfortunately, we were not able to identify your personality, please turn to your bank officially and ask them to assist you with the refund process. 


We will do our best to help you in this matter but direct bank contact is required.



Best regards,

Support Team

Gumball Payment is also responsible for many casinos, 100% of Campeonbet, Svenbet, Lapilanders and the other sister casinos. The Nigeria, Poland, Kenya transactions etc…


But I wonder who DOTASCANNER, STICKERS, CLXBRAND and AIRWALLET are.


maybe someone knows something

It can’t go on forever. These entities thrive on people giving up and saying "it is what it is, nothing can be done".


Gambling is ruining so many lives. I grew up with gambling addiction in my family, so I can say from personal experience, it can traumatize not only the addict but everyone around him/her, including children.

With that being said, I refuse to let them get away with this, in my opinion, criminal and heartless tactics.

fileI have reported quickbit to the Swedish FCA equivalent regarding Goriwire Fomiline and Bitsent transactions, as quickbit refuse to engage or accept they are supporting these illegal activities. I suggest anyone with these transactions do the same…

I took help by the website that was posted in here earlier: https://exclusive-icicle-e54.notion.site/Refunds-8dbe7bee16854c0b92dd5e8ba21a9890


I did not copy word for word but used it and its information 🙂

What did you say to paymentz? They will not acknowledge mine whatsoever! 4 emails now saying they are not them. I've thrown all threats out there.

Basically what glamor did, that i had contact with my bank and confirmed that the payment went through them, and they were involved in transaction laundering knowingly or unknowingly and that i trust that they will find my transactions and do a refund.


Also looking at my bank statements all grotobook and helpersm*AP all arrived at the exact same minute for me, so either they might be the same company and refunded both at the same time and then im not sure which email was the one that did the trick, or its just some random break time for my bank during the night as it was not during business hours.

I'm pretty sure mydates/grotobook own helpersm, so it will be interesting to see how it pans out. I'm calling my bank at 2pm will keep you all updated
