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!

All of my transactions were through transferop (PayOp) with Monzo and one with fomiline (quickbit) - then a few more again with PayOp on my HSBC followed by then more on my debit card with goriwire / arcomet / bitsent/ wintermsde / payment gateway / music reverb / faramp

basically everything I had - or didn’t have 🤦🏻‍♀️

Paymentz have said they can’t find the transaction, and since I have refused to give specific details about the transactions ie amount and dates, they can’t perform a deeper search.


This is despite me sending the transaction amount and date with a detailed description. Anyone have a similar experience

I'm in a similar situation. A lot of mine were TransferOp with Monzo.


They're open banking powered instant bank transfers aren't they?


I'm not sure if there's anything we can do in relation to them.

Good day.

We are sad to hear that you have some troubles with our company.

Please specify the email, which was used during registration on our

to make sure that it was you who made transactions from the mentioned card.

I've found instead of reporting to bank/credit cards as fraud, just be open and honest and report them as a scam.


Fingers crossed this works.


@MaterialGirl, could you share a link to where you've found those T&Cs?

They won't refund my friend. They will say you purchased books and when you ask for receipts they will disappear. That's why I've emailed them again knowing they won't reply to me then I can file for a chargeback

I appreciate your very helpful tip! I recommended adding a "go to page no." option or something similar to this thread to make browsing much easier. It was horrible to list back. 😀

Sorry for the long post! I've been following this thread intently for a while now. I've been relieved to see I wasn't the only one struggling with the problem. It gave me hope I'd get some money back...I gambled alot. I've realised though that although our claims about mcc violations, fraud and over coming gambling blocks are all correct and justified...these companies don't care...because unfortunately there'll be little come back from the authorities. The banks don't care, financial regulators don't care, in the grand scheme of things i just don't think its a big enough problem for them to worry about, especially given we've seemimgly willingly sent them our money! I'm not trying to be negative, and you may like me get a few pounds back here and there, all I'm saying is, if you've just arrived on this thread, don't be expecting these fraudsters to give you your money back!


Will I keep emailing every day and being an absolute pain in the ass? Yes. Do I hope that one day these scum bags will crawl back to wherever they've come from? Yes. Do I expect my money back? No.


On that note anyone that's had any dealings with 'Max' at Canapay...they've applied to join the Bulgarian Register of Virtual Asset Providers, so if you wanted to email Hanfa ([email protected]) and tell them about the service they provide for casinos and their lack of complaint handling it can be noted against their application.

The member Katze1337 posted this a month or so ago:

"I can recommend a lawyer who will contact payment service providers and the casinos concerned. 


Costs:

One-time Consultancy fee

Percentage contribution depending on the amount in dispute, up to 35%


Just get in touch with me and I'll give you the contact details.

richter-eddy[at]web.de


The following documents are required:

Deposits and withdrawals in the casino

Bank account / card statements

Power of attorney

Declaration of assignment for the percentage participation"


We thus cautioned him against using this forum for commercial purposes. That is all I wanted you to know.

Greetings, member. This was yet another rule violation.

However, I have observed you, and I hope it was just another misunderstanding. For the last time, though, hear this: hunting clients are not welcome on this forum. I advise you to proceed with extreme caution. We do not want to put anyone in danger, so if you do that, we might ban your account.

Please assist me in keeping you here; I would hate to see you banned.

Hello Radka,


If I'm not mistaken, you could end your cooperation with the providers who falsify the transactions. This means that the casinos no longer have a platform and can no longer advertise their illegal offers, or am I wrong? All the casinos listed here from Curacao, Antillephone and co modify their card payments. From my point of view, you are supporting these fraudsters 😉


Theoretically, you could support or refer players who have lost more than 10k to the providers!
