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!

Are you accepting this?


Chargebacks seem to be working for many so you could potentially get all your money back?

Hello,


does anyone know the Mastercard rules for wrong MCC/transaction laundering so I can give this to my bank!

8 months ago

I posted them several pages back. Basically gambling MUST have a specific code - 7995 on Mastercard. If it doesn't then it's incorrect/disguised and is therefore against Mastercards rules and T&C's - Mastercard confirmed that.

Does anyone know who ODB is responsible for the bank transactions?

Hi!


I was lucky to get refunded directly from Elegro and wintermads early in this process.


However I could never work out from these:MEDYOEU

BITSENT EU AB

FOMLINE UAB

GORWIRE SP.Z.O.O

SMPAYPF*THE (or HIG/THE/THEPLATINIUM/HIGHROLLERWIN"


Anyone got refund from them?


Also months ago, probably coming up to nearly 9 months my bank rejected my chargebacks saying it was fraudulent to raise. I just left it at that, however reading all the success stories now, should I make a formal complaint and ask them to charge it back now? It's obviously gone over the 120 days but I initially raised them within the timeframe..but don't want to get into any trouble..

100%. Anything related to gambling must be coded as gambling. Kinguin are absolute scumbags and will lie if you try and charge something back. Be careful but be clear on the evidence and you might be able to get it.

Goriwire and Bitsent will say they don't know anything about the transactions and you won't get anywhere. I emailed the owner - no response.

Oh great, what did you say if you don't mind me asking

8 months ago

Emailed FOS with information exactly 1 week ago but still haven't received a response😕 it said they only respond to cases they can solve and if so will get back to you within 1 week. How long did it take for you to get a response.


Be honest that the transactions were gambling transactions and also state Mastercard/Visa's rules for MCC and say that these stores are trying to hide where the money is going and that Revolut refuses to help me.

It's tempting but then they've gone from a £180 goodwill offer to this without further prompting. I'm torn whether to accept it or chance the chargebacks. Something has certainly happened for them to offer that me thinks.

But isn't this what applies in the Middle East/Africa region? Is it the same for UK/Europe?


I'm wondering if there's any value in quoting the following...


Transaction Type Identifier (TTI) The Transaction Type Identifier (TTI), when present in a Transaction message, must contain a value that is valid and that most accurately describes the purpose for which the Transaction is being conducted. A TTI value must not be used for any purpose other than as set forth in the applicable Standards, including but not limited to the following:


• Customer Interface Specification

• Single Message System Specifications

• IPM Clearing Formats

• Mastercard Gaming and Gambling Payments Program Standards

• Mastercard MoneySend and Funding Transactions


...food for thought?
