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!

Shit in all these contacts with lots of mail. The only thing that kind of worked has been elegro. Then YES some in here have been lucky and received from others but as you can see the MAJORITY in here don't even get an answer.. End your "suffering" and "obsession" and go straight through the bank. Remember that even the bank has certain requirements after the gambling regulation 2019. They must prevent you from being able to deposit with gambling companies. This means that they can't just say your money went to the casino so you don't get anything, that's exactly what they shouldn't be able to do according to player protection. The bank has also failed to protect the customer from illegal gambling. And let all these deposits go on..

But some of us have used Revolut for the deposits, so theres not much else we can do.

No of course! I understand that. I directed my post to them with Swedish local banks.

Where in the gaming regulations does it say that the banks have that obligation?

Have you referred to it yourself? It seems that many chargebacks are denied because they require an order or receipt, which of course you don't have.


sounds a bit easy to be able to advertise the purchase because it went to an unlicensed gaming company tbh

I guess where it might fail and stop is that you can't actually prove the payments went to casinos.

But for sure interesting to see what they do.

If you were honest for what the transactions were, perhaps, they'll do something. Or maybe not.

Hopefully you don't have to worry about going to prison or anything 🙂 most likely what could happen is that they say no. Worst case close your account, and that would suck.

I'll try to look it up tonight. Yes, exactly, I don't have a receipt and then they don't even start the complaint. I'll call and talk to them tomorrow. I know I run the risk of them closing my account, but I don't care. I've prepared myself, downloaded Freja Id and things like that.

I just sent them this....and they sorted out a refund of £2.5k worth of payments. Seems like it's just your luck unfortunately, would just keep hassling them, can't hurt!


Dear Sir/Madam 

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an issue I have encountered.

Upon reviewing my recent bank statements, I noticed discrepancies in the descriptors associated with transactions from your platform. It appears that some of the descriptors are inaccurate and do not align with my legitimate transactions. This has caused confusion and concern on my part. I believe these transactions have been illegally miscoded to avoid restrictions.

I kindly request your prompt assistance in rectifying this matter and processing refunds for the transactions with false descriptors. To help facilitate this process, I have attached relevant card details involved in the transactions in question. 

I understand that errors can occur, and I appreciate your attention to resolving this matter promptly. I hope we can address this issue amicably and avoid any issues and/or negative publicity. I believe that according to Mastercard and VISA rules, these transactions are subject to Chargeback.

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

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

followed the thread over the past few weeks and also sent out a self-composed email to about 20 different addresses regarding cashback:


Rankbeasts-( [email protected] )

claim that they are a different company than the ones I am looking for


Canapay-( [email protected] )

answered and wanted pictures of driver's licenses etc. to be able to "investigate" the matter more closely.


S [email protected]

disclaims all involvement and asks me to contact the site directly


mydelivery-( [email protected] , [email protected] )

emails don't go through, it seems like they shut down those addresses


O [email protected] - runs on the third party concept and disclaims all responsibility



then a number of different ones that have not yet answered:

[email protected]

S [email protected]

[email protected]

IN [email protected]

S [email protected]

[email protected]



started sending emails a week ago partly because of course I'd like to see my money back, but also because it's interesting to see what they answer and what excuses they come up with. Answers that I can later include in the next step, which will of course be to take the case further via my own bank.

That's why I took everything through the bank now. Who can handle sending 1000 emails. Better through the bank. Will be YES or NO. These companies are screwing up anyway

I have not advertised that it went to a casino. I have claimed the transaction to a store I have not purchased anything from. A store I have not entered into any agreement with

You're never eligeble. It's a lot of work without a guarantee of a refund.

Smart thing would be to stop playing overall.


I would recommend to actually read through a couple of pages to learn more.


and whatever you do, don't contact anyone who says they can help you get more refunds for a fee. it's a scam.

You should avoid playing overall. If you have used Spelpaus, then don't play.


In terms of fee's for deposits, in general, what can happen is

1, As the casino is processing payments all over, it's possible that your EUR deposit will be procesed in USD or any other currency. This will incurr currency exchange fee's

2, You can't get away from currency fee's though, so even if your payment is made as EUR, your Swedish bank will most likely give you a bad exchange rate + 1-2% currency exchange fee, a fee made up from banks to earn money on nothing, as always.


Please also note, it is getting harder and harder to get your withdrawals processed to your Swedish bank accounts. Other providers might still work, but even these will be hard to get to your Swedish bank account later.


So, it is better to avoid playing at any non Swedish licensed casino.


What is also easy to forget when playing at the foreign casino is that you are most likely helping out different criminal groups or generally shady people. It's better to stay away.



If you still feel you need to play, be aware that foreign casinos will come up with several extra reasons or complications to make it difficult for you to withdraw. That is only the first problem.
