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!

100% does, like literally we all know we have an addiction, some of us can manage with it and without the few hundred £. However many others cannot hence why I am still on here trying to help mine are all processed waiting on a few to clear but I am still here to assist. Many of the others who need this money would still have access to it if the codes had of been gambling/these be licensed casinos as you wouldn’t be able to deposit.

For a few euros, Curacao is happy to ignore existing laws 😉

This in no way answers my question, nor was the question directed at you

I've mentioned this to my bank and they are asking for proof that I didn't get my winnings which is a joke because i don't have the proof as they won't give me access. Did they ask you for proof?

Hi guys, just as an update. I got 2 responses from 2 of the several merchants I emailed, they asked for transaction proof/statements which I’ve sent across.


i imagine this is where they go silent, so I’ll give them until Monday/Tuesday and then I’ll chase up.

That’s really weird. Banks seem to pick and choose who they are willing to help it’s so frustrating

Oh also, as for goldenbet who let me play 2 casino games for months, and then suddenly they wouldn’t let me as it said "this game is not available in my region"


I queried them to ask why I had been able to play illegal games when my location has never changed… they responded with a big email constantly in capitals saying "YOU" are responsible for ensuring you don’t play illegal games 🤣


how on earth am I meant to know that the game, on their site, is illegal in my region, when the game has always let me play it? Then suddenly doesn’t, that to me, means their blocking system does not work properly.


in short, they’ve said it’s completely my responsibility and not theirs. Rather interesting lol


anwyay, I’ve gone back solely focusing on incorrect MCC which they completely ignored in the same complaint

Curacao is a corrupt country, money rules, not the law, just like in other parts of Europe that are not so strict about enforcing their own laws. And you can now guess three times why the casinos are registered in Curacao.


I fall to my knees before you and apologize deeply for responding to you in this post.

This is where it starts, with the understanding of some users.


  • They are criminals, and only the police or public prosecutor can fight criminals - a private individual will not be able to achieve anything.


  • Even if you have tracked down the culprit or the owner of the casino, you will not see any money because it has been "laundered" by various other Ltd. or it is somewhere in a crypto wallet.

Have a feeling you have been barred on multiple occasions and it's have had a few run ins with you. Maybe I am wrong but wording sounds familiar 🤔 😉

You do know the Caracaco licence laws had a major overhaul last year due to corruption. New laws and licences came into play at the end of the year .There is more ways to skin a cat if you as a collective .

Also chargeback rules are in place for a multitude of codes so the banks go after the merchant banks. It isn’t as simple as us vs criminals fortunately there are various ways for a refund.

That account has to be someone from a casino surely, the fact they make comment that Germany are prosecuting us. Who is us, I have committed no crime in Germany, can’t say there are many Germans on here apart from a few that spout the same stuff every few weeks.

Your posts show me that you can only count up to 3, and then it stops. I wrote that notices are being sent out, but there is no mention of WE.

The rules have been revised, but has corruption been combated?

I'm thinking the same, pretty sure the user you're thinking of is Katze or something of the sort
