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!

Were the rejected ones significantly larger transactions I’m assuming?

So some were 50s two of which were refunded others were 100 but some other 50s got rejected. I find it really bizarre.

Santander literally lied and said they raised mine as chargebacks and they didn't took 5 months for a decision I confronted them in chat and asked a cs advisor where they ever raised as as goods not recived and they said no hence why it's now with the FO they gave me the right run around it kept getting rejected and closed Santander are the worse

Sorry I thought you said that garage is linked to mystake/ Santeda international.. if so, how can you confirm the link? No one here knows anything about them and how they’ve been allowed to bypass the law completely!!

I would just turn up there lol with a camera 😂


I always thought it was Mario from IGA who was the CEO of Santeda but no idea. My payments were all via bank transfer and im going via the ombudsman as well as hiring a lawyer to take on my case in Curacao. Let’s wait and see but it will be a long road ahead..

An Irish person involved in this known as "Aideen short" I believe is behind finnart and artstrid due to them being companies registered in Ireland.

Doing a bit more research on Pixeleum.io, there is another company called nordmedia solutions ltd it has same address and the executive director is Mr Sanhueza. There is no contact details for either company and neither company is on companies house.


Ive heard back from Finnart.io, Elegro (nikotpf*) merchants and also betfoxx.


I've spoken with my bank again and this time the lady I spoke to was extremely helpful and willing to help. Just a pity you can't get the same person at call centres, as I've to call back Monday at the latest with outcomes of all emails I've sent out.


Also need any help with contact for:


Zpaympf*gaming store

Zpaympf*tools haven


Lingom*red

I actually messaged pragmatic to see if the sites had them on there legitimately because the games didn't seem to load up properly and always glitches. Surprised to know I didn't even get a reply 😂

Hi mate, what did elegro say to you? They have asked me for bank statements and masked card details which I sent over so I’m hoping they’re going to look at refunding the transactions?

Also did you get anywhere with pixeleum? I also have them as a merchant on my bank statement and I managed to find an email [email protected] linked to them. I have requested a refund using this email and explained that my data was given to them by a casino, so is a breach of the law etc

Elegro said the exact same thing to me as they have to you, fingers crossed we hear back from them as I have 9k with them.

I've not heard from pixeleum but I got a different email from on here, [email protected]. will try sending an mail to the address you have, it's so sketchy that these companies are so difficult to find contact details.
