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!

Has anyone gone directly to the casino or just via the payment merchant or your bank?

I think we all have approached casino first with our grievance Miscoding unlicensed ect ect requested full refund .It would do you well to read all their terms and conditions ,check their licences governing bodies Costa rica licences are basically null and void New licencing laws took effect last year so any site displaying jazz licences are trading illegally with expired licences .I would also read the new gambiling licence laws for Malta, Caracaco as there are rules now casinos must adhere to . But even then Caracaco is still dodgy all back handing and corruption. But things may chance now new laws come in you can also check on the CGC what gambiling sites and companies have licences and when they expire.

You may get same ole speel as we all get .I managed to get a full refund from 1 company but it took a while and had to sign a NDA so can't disclose anything about what site it was .If you get nowhere from sites then approach bank .I have also warned and told sites that I will proceed with chargebacks and will take legal action if no resolution. Due to breach of sensitive data as our cards are supposed to be stored securely and encrypted end to end and they are not they are given to unregulated 3rd party merchants who are unregistered with the FCA .

Hope this helps be persistent ,if no luck then chargeback

Chase are awful, i asked a question in regards to my case, they made me wait nearly a month only to say they cant answer my question as the case is too technical, so i followed up and asked why they could reject it in 50 minutes despite that not being long enough to go through the evidence, they just said its an FOS issue now

Did you tell them it was gambling related? They are difficult to deal with, I remember two very small ones they rejected on gambling then later did them on fraud around £40 so imagine did it to save the complaint for a small amount.

The last ones I had with them I thought I will just do no goods received and they have processed them but will see what comes back, any purchases I make now are with VISA and Barclays because I imagine Chase to be like this on normal issues. Terrible bank.
