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!

Ok yes it was an amazing result just a pity about the 4 they are challenging though, if your well over 45 days it will get sorted soon.

Evening All.

I'm just going through my Monzo bank statement as my card has been compromised by a merchant I've never used in the past.

Whilst scrolling I have spotted another one I don't recognise "freshbet" and on looking this was originally "wbmsc" and still has that at the bottom.

I know some where struggling to find this one. Interesting how it's changed name and also I've never played that group! Monzo don't allow gambling but this has got through. Any advise on how to approach this one as clearly now relates to betting.

It says the bank has requested the merchants documents to be sent to me within 5-7 business days with there evidence of the objection and if I wish to challenge I have to reply to the letter I think I need to win them or it will be the start of them challenging all other peoples as well in the future and winning them,im done with the chargebacks now myself hopefully never again I think eventually you will not be able to do it or get your money back I have been lucky best thing is just to keep away from them no matter how tempted just remember its not a fair gamble and the odds are massively against you and even if you do win you might struggle to get paid out I reckon they use their own server to control the games they provide as it is always the same pattern

Hey guys,

i haven’t read every post, but the ones I have all mention about chargebacks..

if you deposit your money in a casino and lose it, then why are you trying to get a chargeback to recover your losses?

you are the one that put your money in. You are the one that lost it. So what would make you think that you can get that money returned to you?

sorry if I’ve missed the whole point of the thread..

There's definitely some people abusing what's going on here to 'freeroll' but the issue is in some cases, these offshore casinos aren't paying out, also shady, negligent and illegal practices where they target problem gamblers and use various illegal methods to circumnavigate gambling blocks, and even URL blocks based on geographical location (e.g. some URLs may be blocked but they use multiple so people in banned jurisdictions can access the website, then when it comes to KYC and cash out they decline on the terms they're prohibited from operating in that jurisdiction and refuse to return any funds/winnings) these shady practices actually go against safer gambling regulations. On top of that most of them aren't licensed and use 'cloned slots', basically carbon copies but the slots are actually rigged and don't come from the legitimate providers, e.g. pragmatic etc. Then you have crimes such as money laundering, transaction laundering, It's not quite as clean cut as people losing and trying to claim their money back, there's a lot of nuances and changing variables from case to case with people in here.

I'm curious as to how you know it's freshbet if you didn't make the transactions? I used freshbet, came out as wbmsc. There is nothing to say that the money went to freshbet as the merchant was wbmsc. How did you find out it went to there?
