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!

Struggling with KTM. I asked for DSARS and than a few days later I received a complete list of transactions from ‘sandibell’ although they were for completely different mcc. Gone back to KTM they denied knowing anything about it, they told me to go to the casino about it! Stuck on what to do as I know people have got refunds back from them

The DSAR is straightforward and clear. If you can provide proof that the transactions listed in the DSAR match your deposit history with the illegal casino, this should be sufficient evidence to show your bank that an incorrect MCC code was used. Ultimately bypassing uk restrictions.

Hi guys, so I have been investigating those casinos for the last three days and already made successful disputes with my bank Lloyds (which given the comments on the forum it's not easy to do) and in the process of opening disputes with Revolut and RBS , you do not have to contact any of these companies as you never did any business with them, you are able to claim back payments made even a year ago back without any problem as it's your right to do so. I will share more details with you soon but before I do, I want to make sure it's legal for me to do so. These companies are taking advantage of people and some of us are trying to fight back addiction of gambling thru different GAMSTOP programs and I do feel like it should be regulated in the future so there will be no more victims. Does not matter if you are in UK or somewhere else..

These 'casinos' are often fronts for much larger operations. The reason transactions end up in so many different destinations worldwide is that they are part of a fraudulent network. This is also why people often struggle to withdraw their winnings. These casinos are designed to deceive users into making deposits, after which they take the money and funnel it to multiple locations. I believe this could be classified Authorised Push Payment fraud.

The rules have always been you contact the merchant first! You have stated otherwise can you share where you got this info because I've not seen anywhere that it's your right to get them charged back if it was that simple to demand it alot of us wouldn't be here saying they won't raise the chargebacks!

Which casino did you use for these transactions? Do you happen to remember? I don't have direct experience with KTM/Sandibell specifically, but many of these operations tend to use very similar illegal practices.

I agree with you on this one. It's impossible to initiate a chargeback without first contacting the merchant. However, I'm curious to hear his side of the story.

Does anybody know anything about ‘AR MDA HS’ that mcc i need help with! Can’t find anything!

Yeah I am too to be fare! I'm interested if there's something that's useful we haven't discussed already on this forum.

I will find a legal way to share with you that information, as person involved just like you in this case I have to be very careful about what I say and where. Answering your question: who is your merchant in this case? is it company on the statement where you have not signed up in any way and never before knew of their existence? or is it the casino website you signed up to which then used third party merchants to process your payments? Please be patient and I will help you all as best I can.

I don't have useful info, it's clear solution to all of it based on your rights and certain laws.

If you still have access to the casinos and they haven’t blocked your account, it’s worth gathering evidence of your deposit history so you can cross-check the transactions. If it’s Quickbit, my guess is that it’s one of the following casinos: DonBet, Mystake, GoldenBet, Velobet, Cosmobet, or Roletto. I saved all my records before they blocked my account, as I had already done my due diligence. More fool them.

Ok cool seems the law isn't always as plain sailing in such cases as this one.
