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!

received this from Straal

Hi, 


I am sorry to hear about your suffering. Straal is providing only the payment solutions to top up the Rillpay e-wallet. We don't control what happens afterwards with the money. 

I passed all of your emails to their support and I hope you will get the respons soon.

its the same owner as the mastertools transactions. Both mastertools and gamingstore is owned by my delivery ltd.


https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/13010969


I’ve contacted their director both on LinkedIn and Facebook, without a response.

It's elegro i just looked in my emails

[email protected] They usually put

NikoTPF *global solutions

As mine was NikoTPF *something on 2 transactions it depends on bank how they display them.

I've seen 7 or 8 different NikoTPF merchants mentioned on this thread, makes me question whether they're made by the casinos or there's another presence behind them who's money laundering alongside the casinos

Hi everyone, back again with the same question. Anything I can do regarding "faster payments" to Falcora Finance?

The bank have said they need the company sort code and account number to open a dispute with them but Falcora are now not responding to my emails.


has anyone been successful or have any advice for these kind of transfers?

Ok bud yes I thought so as well I would say they would email if about the cases or even leave voicemail will see what happens

10 months ago

I've managed to email some of these merchants. No reply yet. Some of the transactions are 1-3 years old.

Then you won't hear anything for the next few years. The only thing that some retailers are afraid of is the chargeback deadlines, but since these have now expired, they can sleep soundly. The only thing left to do is to sue. But be aware of the statute of limitations, which may be 3 years.

And where is the best place to file a lawsuit?

6 years UK but I reckon pursuing them via the courts would be costly and limited chance of actually getting them to pay even if you win as many are offshore companies.

Actually not.

When I look at the payment processors, they are based in Great Britain. You can put pressure on them with a lawyer and ultimately take action against the casino. In Germany, it was not clear for a long time whether Curacao casinos could be sued, but now things are moving forward and the first judgments have been made.


If you really want your money back, you'll sue. If you haven't achieved anything on your own for 6 months, you won't achieve anything on your own in the next 6 months either.


And again to the question from @barborasp:


You file a lawsuit in the court where you live. It doesn't matter where the casino is based. The lawsuit is filed where the player had access to the casino.
