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! Does anyone here now if the rules for card payments is the same for companies with Malta/MGA license? The company I made deposits to (around 2022) used some unknown third party payment processors. They did not have a license in Sweden then, but still allowed deposits

Hi There. I believe someone mentioned in this thread that they had success with Elegro refund previously? Could someone confirm?

I’m a bit back and forth with them but they seem to have settled on giving me a refund next week, but they’ve asked for lots of information about transactions, merchants etc.

I recently initiated contact with them impulsively tonight and received a generic response. I'm currently uncertain if they have any involvement with my card transactions. But I'm requesting they conduct a search of my card activity to confirm any hits, as I suspect it might have been used by several merchants through them.

Hi Mate.

I’ve received nothing like this from Elegro.

Tbh I am hesitant about a refund from them but they seem to have agreed to it (see previous posts) perhaps it’s because my transactions weren’t directly linked to a casino they could trace? I was using mystake.club.

Fingers crossed they make good on their 99.99% refund lol.

Stockimagemart is a funny one, i got such a shock email back advising they have no idea why this happened, but by the looks of it they have had a few people coming to them...UK based also...

Other handles. Worth trying again, but tricky if the casino is named on transaction, rather than a fake merchant.

Agree, if casino is names on transaction think you’re fucked. Mine shows as a completely different merchant and I also played up to the fact I have a gambling block in place. Fingers crossed 🤷‍♂️

Hopefully they were able to issue a refund straight away then?

They did mate, starting to think they actually know what going on rather than the play dumb email I got. I have asked them to provide me with their payment provider and ill share it.

I think everyone knows what’s going on pal. I wouldn’t have received £500 back for this if there wasn’t something dodgy, just think if payment providers are sketch chances are your bets are too 🤷‍♂️

think they just pray on people who have no idea about this
