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!

I ask for a chargeback to the canapay, First they asked for photos of the payment statement from my bank and I sent them. Now I received this email. Will they make a refund? What do you think?


We have identified a transaction in our system - every precaution has been taken to now ensure your email address and card number are blocked throughout our system to prevent future transactions.

As all transactions made through Canapay are fully card-holder 3D secure authorised and BankID confirmed - this means you (the customer) were entirely aware and confirmed every transaction processed against your card. You have also openly agreed to doing this numerous times in your initial email to us, repeatedly over an extended period of time.

To continue - Issuing banks and acquirers require us to collect full KYC (know your customer) information, confirming your identity and that this email comes from a legitimate source before commencing fraud investigations. Send us the following:

A clear photo of the front and back of your National ID Card or Passport (picture page)

A photo/scan of your Proof of Address (utility bill, phone bill)

Failure to supply the above documents means we can NOT proceed. Once the above information has been provided, fraud investigators verify and screen your identity against formal government and fraud databases to confirm authenticity.

Once verified, we will launch an investigation into your claim for transactions you agreed and have personally verified through your banks 3DS challenge.

Regards,

Canapay


And I writhe a answer to the canapay


Hi there, 

As I mentioned in the first email correspondence, I did not purchase any service from you, I expect all the transfers in question to be refunded to me. Here is my ID card and a payment invoice with my adress. 

Sincerely

Kinghill Casino refunded all of my deposits, around 1.1k.


here’s a template you can begin sending directly to the gambling sites:


‘Upon reviewing my recent bank statements, I have noticed discrepancies in the descriptors associated with the transactions which were completed . It appears that the descriptors are inaccurate and do not align with my legitimate transactions which has raised confusion and concern on my parts. 


I kindly request your prompt assistance in rectifying this matter and processing refunds for the transactions with false descriptors. 


I understand that errors can occur, and I appreciate your attention to resolving this matter promptly as these transactions were from a casino and have been illegally disguised for some reason.


As well as that, I have a gambling block on my account which this has failed to capture.

This practice, commonly referred to as "transaction laundering," is explicitly prohibited by both Mastercard and Visa regulations. According to Mastercard’s Chargeback Code 4840 ("Fraudulent Processing of Transactions"), this type of misrepresentation qualifies the transaction for a chargeback. Had the MCC been accurately set as a gambling-related transaction, it would have been blocked by the gambling restrictions applied to my account.

Additionally, Visa's rules on MCC misrepresentation fall under Chargeback Code 13.5, which also applies to cases where a merchant misclassifies a transaction to avoid legitimate restrictions. Both Visa and Mastercard’s rules are clear: merchants must use the correct MCC, and failure to do so opens them to chargeback claims.

Given the circumstances and the clear violation of Mastercard’s and Visa’s rules, I kindly request that you initiate a chargeback for the full amount of the disputed transactions:


-transaction 1

-transaction 2 etc"


this is both innocent and makes it clear to the bookmaker that you know the legalities

Hi,


I had the exact same answer from them 14 days ago. Sent all the KYC and got an answer confirming they were recieved the documents the same day.


After that they stopped communicating with me. Heard nothing in 14 days today.


Made a "kortreklamation" with my bank 7 days ago(Swedbank). Havnt recieved any feedback from them either, but i suppose they have longer responsetime.


Can keep you updated if you find it interesting.
