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!

What do I need to say to jokabet though? Both payop and falcora were bank transfers. I’ve reported it to my bank (Barclays) as a scam and I’ve also reported it to their holding account providers, who are registered with the fca (reported to them too)

Just to note, none of the other companies have refunded me, refused to email back hence me charging back with them

Send that email that I sent, even include their response to me. I think my username was jbias18.


Use my details I have no issues with that at all.

Thanks, I appreciate this.

I’ve emailed jokabet so I’ll see how it goes.

This is what they sent to me too username (nathanphillips9) use all the ammo you can:

Hello,


We trust this message finds you well.


Your refund request has been processed and the funds are now on their way to your designated bank account.


Typically, bank transfers are processed by the payment provider within approximately one banking day, and they may take up to five banking days to be received in most cases.


Best regards,

Idris

Hello, which fraudulent site did you deposit money to? What was its name? Also, didn't they give your money back?

Strange that Jokabet seem to be decent in refunding yet others don’t. I know Jokabet is part of a few of the same/sister sites worth trying any that are linked to Jokabet as their terms do say no UK players yet let you sign up.

has anyone set up a telegram group about this? Would be good if we all came together and shared knowledge about this

Yeah, I saw that too and jumped on it. Even though I've seen the same in terms and conditions on other sites, they just blame me for apparently breaking the laws in my juristiction.

I think Ninewin might be a sister site of Jokabet, so that might work in your favour too.

Mystake and luckypays don’t have them terms in so they just blanked me, I think chargeback will work though.


As long as my credit card returns that’s the main amount, the debit card is only £40 so I want it back but no major issues if not

filefileI know wise replied saying they are still investigating after I threatened a complaint asking lots of questions which I replied to


What happened? Let us know in as much detail as possible. - it was a link claiming to be a mystery electrical box with pictures of people who received them I gave my card details to receive it 

What was the payment for? What was promised? as above

How did you find the vendor/merchant? Screenshots or a website would be useful. It just came up on google

When did you last speak to the vendor/merchant? I cannot get in touch the page all details are gone

When were you meant to get this product or service? It said within 2 weeks the money seems to have been taken in usd not gbp.


I mean it should be straight forward for them to open an item not received chargebacks or have I did something wrong !

I can't tell if Wise are just being difficult or whether they're staff are just stupid. Just raise the chargeback, so ridiculous

Also the furniture place is based in Ghana and a fragrance store from Kenya, is that not a red flag for the bank? They should be blocking this by default

I know Nathan it is a no brainer for them why so many obstacles I reckon they encourage these sort of things to make money out of it or something I should have the temp credits by now !😳

It really does make you wonder. It just takes a bit of common sense to realise that the transactions aren't entirely legitimate

nathanphillips9

Yes odd how some simply raise them and others do not must be the management staff telling them to keep them down as they do not make anything from them and it takes up their time

xbigguyxxx
1 year ago

Yeah, it must be. Weird how looking after their customers isn't at the forefront of their mind

1 year ago

We just need consistency, they should all raise them for us then if anything comes back from the merchant discuss further with us.


Not raising them is absurd.
