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!

Hi There.



I hereby request an immediate refund of transactions made in februari /marsch 2024. Transactions in question made to you by card number 2222 00XX XXXX 1111




These transaction are illegal as it contains a merchant code that also bypasses blocks set on cards in relation to gambling transactions and I have not received any service from you.




According to the rules of the Mastercard circuit, the transaction is subject to chargeback. Could you check my card details through your system and refund all transactions.




Please acknowledge receipt of this email at your earliest convenience, and I look forward to a swift resolution.

Has anyone had ANY success in pursuing these casinos for a refund? If so what casino? And what did they message ?

I wasn't given a choice to answer, but you kind of just clicked in boxes. Do you suspect the bank will contact me? But will say as it is that I do not recognize these transactions. If they ask why I approved it, I will tell them that I was going to play at the melody festival with a friend, but that the transactions to the casino were never completed.

Did you push to receive the money immediately?

Those of you who do chargebacks do so on the largest sums. I have some to do at the end of the week. Such deposits that are 7-800 euros each. The fact is that you have not done business with the company that has withdrawn the money. Most often, the transaction is not correct either, because you cannot match it with the casino if they were. We know that these companies charge sick fees. If you deposit 500 euros, they withdraw 530 euros, etc. Nowhere do you even find that you approve a 3rd party..

Yes, rounding merchant codes (MCC) to circumvent restrictions or regulations, especially in gambling, is prohibited and considered fraudulent behavior. Here are some important points to consider:


### Legal and Regulatory Consequences


1. **Fraud**: Knowingly using an incorrect MCC to hide that a transaction is related to gambling is considered fraud. This is illegal and can lead to serious legal consequences for both the merchant and any accomplices.


2. **Payment Network Rules**: Payment networks such as Visa, Mastercard and others have strict rules regarding MCC and gambling. Using an incorrect code to circumvent these rules violates the payment networks' terms and conditions and may result in the merchant being banned from using their services.


3. **Licensing Issues**: Many jurisdictions have specific licensing requirements for businesses offering gambling services. Circumventing these requirements by using an incorrect MCC may result in the company's license being revoked or subject to fines and other sanctions.


### Practical Consequences


1. **Risk of Blocking Transactions**: The banks and payment processors monitor transactions carefully. If they find that a merchant is using an incorrect MCC for gambling, they can block future transactions and take action against the merchant.


2. **Damaged Reputation**: The discovery of fraudulent behavior can seriously damage companies

However, what would you answer if the bank asks you why you signed with a mobile bank ID?

I will say that I never received the deposit to the casino. I will not do mass advertising cones. Will write that this particular deposit was never credited and that I also do not receive any receipts from the casino. For example, I have asked all infinzia for a receipt. Likewise, kimcasino/slotowl/ madrush/winsly they don't even respond to the email. So I'll run them
