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!

Hey Josie,

I emailed delados about 10 days ago on a cluster of 3 merchants I believe attached to them. What did you send to them if you don’t mind me asking please? Did they come back to you straight away?

are you sure? Briqpay bought a company called swipez in 2022 i think it’s a completely different company. The domain swipez.eu was associated with the payment services provider Draph Solutions s.r.o. The Czech National Bank officially revoked the company’s small-scale payment service license, a decision that became legally effective on January 3, 2026.

I had refunds from CNPCTO through Walletto on 1st July so they must have cut ties very recently.

Wlmco, zntrq, Ilvmnl, XorSolution_image, Tchtxt, Meta Deposit, Global Stride Ltd, Eaf, Art Solution, Pixel, WordiVX / Wordvx / Wrdvx, rwnl, wvira, Drssr, Visioncraft Ltd, Ggsltd, wweltd, nrdrp, voltoria, Skfn, Toolhavn, Qlyz, take_your_goods, vntra / ventira, Vocaloidy, bestboost_pro, Jewelbirdsrescue, ravora. - all have the same acquirer


How the acquirer is identified


Every card transaction carries an Acquirer Reference Number — a 23-digit code that follows the payment through the network. Barclaycard’s app shows it under "Business number" when you tap into a transaction. Other banks display it too, sometimes as "reference" or "transaction ID."


The ARN is structured, not random. Digits 2 to 7 are the acquiring bank’s BIN — the institution that signed the merchant up and put its transactions into the Visa network. So in 7 402569 6101 00467414577 7, the acquirer BIN is 402569.


All 28 names above return 402569. They bill from six different towns, under thirteen different merchant category codes — digital games, e-books, stenographic services, schools and educational services, telecommunication equipment, family clothing, hardware supplies, and more. Some are spelling variants of each other rotating across consecutive days.


Twenty-eight unrelated businesses could in principle share one acquirer. But twenty-eight names with no traceable trading identity, no consistent stated trade, and rotating spellings, all onboarded by the same institution, is a different thing.

you got 10k back after raising a complaint with your bank? through chargebacks i assume? I’ve tried the complaint route but they won’t listen as soon as gambling is mentioned
