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!

Monzo is definitely worse, fortunately not had to deal with them, genuinely feel for those who have and the fact they earn from the fees definitely makes it a conflict of interest on their part

If you're in the UK they have to abide by UK laws, UKGC will ask for evidence but after that they investigate the complaint, if they receive numerous about the same casinos it might expedite the process and give these shady casinos less room to try and wiggle their way out of it

Chase are up there with the worst customer support i've dealt with, and honestly ombudsman is 50/50, they gear their response to complaints towards the bank and customer, very little in regards to the illegal casinos is taken into consideration unless the bank ignores evidence of illegal activity outright

Chase and Revolut as well.

I'm trying to reopen the dispute as goods not received, but the transactions already flagged as gambling.

I mean they wouldn't have had to pay all at once but they're usually given a time frame to pay the fines, if not then the authorities would either go after company assets or go after the directors of Santeda for criminal charges.

Think i read someone managed to get chase to investigate as goods not received by repeatedly stating the MCC wasn't gambling, so the transactions weren't inherently gambling in nature but that'd depend on the MCC and your customer service agent, and even then that might not pan out, Chase is horrendous for customer service

Yeah I did think same thing like how would they dodge it I've not seen it with my own eyes so may not be a true statement but I do read things and try to do my own research but I'm not that good at it 😂 some people on here are ace at digging up info.

Responded. If you could respond back accordingly it would be appreciated.

Oh some people on here missed their calling, could be PI's with the info they dig up, but yeah, short of dissolving and disappearing they'd have to at least pay some back to signify their intention of paying the full fine, and even then they'd have a deadline to pay.
