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!

Unfortunately, I cannot see any details at my bank and the bank does not want to give me any details either

I created an account and made a deposit of 40€, the amount was debited from my account twice and did not end up in my account.

So 80€ were debited and I have 0€ in my account.

Now I have to submit bank statements.

I now have to wait 5 days, once and never again, the most dubious casino there is.

I've found some stuff regarding Goldenbet, their merchant thing on my statement is Nikotpf active web lim, i've done some sleuthing and found that there's a few other Nikotpfs on this forum and another,such as WynActive NikoTPF*Aqua Pulse London (cant find much on this one) Nikotpf NOHTOS (again, yet to find anything on this one) Nikotpf*Nexpulse (same again) Nikotpf Novavogue,i think that's linked to a "clothes company" and Nikotpf DNELECTRO, which is a uk based electronics website it seems under the umbrella company of green lemon group ltd, i've kept an eye on it and they've changed their registered address at least three times in the last week according to public government documents, which leads me to believe that's another scam website that's just used for money/transaction laundering, interestingly enough there's a name as they have to register the LTD company in the UK to operate here, there's one registered director under the company name listed as a Vladimirs BICKOVSKIS, who's currently based in Latvia according to the public government documents? don't know if anyone's any good at digging up any more information?

there was also this blog that was posted in the thread earlier regarding transaction laundering which covers both them and santeda on the blacklist.


would also tie in with this reuters article

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-gambling-usa-dummies-exclusive-idUSKBN19D137


Santeda International (parent company of Goldenbet and some other online casinos operating without a license, have been found guilty and sanctioned by the Australian government, Swedish and Spanish government for operating multiple URLs to bypass their prohibition, aswell as illegal gambling,that coupled with the third party merchants makes this an obvious illegal operation with the aim appearing to be to scam customers out of money, below is evidence listed of sanctions)

Hey, for those of you from the UK and used a credit card to gamble.


Gambling with a credit card was made illegal from 2020 onwards to protect consumers from problem gambling.


Who's responsible in the cases where credit cards are used?


1. The gambling site

2. The payment processor

3. The credit card provider

4. The credit card holder


Surely the blame can't solely lie with the credit card holder?
