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!

Thank you, I will check out that site but the one in my browser that the gambling site linked to is obpays.com so not sure if it’s the same one or not as the obpays.com site is showing as blank to me now.

Hello,


I have gone through som older bank statements and noticed that deposits i’ve made with credit card to a few betting/casino websites with a Curaçao license just show random company names in countries like Kenya, Nigeria etc that barely show up when I google them.


The deposits themselves were successful,but normally, my bank should’ve rejected these transactions If they had the merchant category code 7995.


My suspicion is that the gambling websites have tried to bypass bank restrictions by making it look like i’m buying e.g clothes and something like that.


My question is - is this even allowed under the Curacao license or in general? And would it be a valid complaint to raise, or will they just ignore this?

That does sound pretty sketchy. I’d be annoyed too if I noticed that on my statements.

I reached out to the Vancouver PD and Anti-Money Laundering services in Canada. You should also contact media there and then forward the details to Payop - they don't like it.


FOS aren't some saviour for us all unfortunately. If you had a gambling block in place and can prove the payments you made were for gambling then they will probably rule for you if there aren't lots of them. If you have no gambling block then they struggle to rule in your favour, but will suggest Goods and Services chargebacks if you have made attempts to contact the merchants.

Have been thru quite a lot of UK FOS decisions on chargebacks for gambling and almost all side with the bank and therefore not favourable. The process also takes months


has anyone actually had a positive outcome from this?

You’re absolutely right, I was just looking through the FOS decisions across various banks the other day.


It’s worth checking out this outcome from them, it blew my mind, they got hella lucky with that Case Reviewer: https://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/decision/DRN-4516953.pdf 😇

Ah that’s good, fingers crossed you get a decent outcome too!

The majority of my transactions were through Revolut and I found their internal Complaints team to be useless so probably going to go to the FOS soon too.

Yes they are useless ! they have not even replied to one of mine and instead replied to the original one again with a completely different story and stuff made up !

for all the UK people try reporting the casinos to this email too [email protected]

its the UK gambling commission, if they're unlicensed in the UK it's illegal for them to offer services, let's hit them where it hurts and report them to the authorities

There’s a BBC Panorama special about them I keep meaning to watch about how Revolut basically do nothing about fraud. I’m not saying this is the same thing I realise it’s more nuanced but yeah, Revolut seem to take the piss with matters like these.


Every time I deal with their live chat or Complaints Team it’s like talking to AI, they just regurgitate the same crap about ‘not supporting this kind of activity’ using their bank even though I made them aware of it several times and they did nothing to help me block such transactions just kept letting thousands be sent to the dodgy unlicensed casinos.
