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!

I don't think I'm wording the emails right to get a result to be honest. Any sample emails or wording I can use? Any advice/help would be appreciated

Dear Elegro,


I am writing to remind you about my case regarding the illegal transactions conducted through your company. I am still awaiting a resolution. I have complied with all your requirements and submitted the necessary documents. I expect you to resolve this matter promptly. It is a legal obligation for you as per your licensing authority.


Sincerely,

Yes, these are absolutely sick sums you see when you scroll through. I only had deposits of 279k in 1 year and not a single withdrawal.

Hell, it feels like they strangled all the winnings from Swedish players.. then there is no doubt that this with slots is just legalized robbery. Nothing else.. It's the mafia that pays a license to be able to rob people. Just look at how they manipulate codes and stuff to cheat banks.. at least I have a game break now and don't play at curucaobaj's casino anymore..

Dear Elegro


Subject: Urgent Request for Review and Refund of Miscoded Transactions


I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my concern regarding certain transactions on my Mastercard that have been miscoded to circumvent gambling restrictions. As you are aware, the intentional miscoding of transactions to evade such restrictions is illegal and against both regulatory standards and your company's policies.


Specifically, I have identified transactions with third-party merchants that I believe have been deliberately misrepresented. I request a thorough investigation into these transactions to determine if they were miscoded to appear as non-gambling transactions.


Please find below the details of the mastercard used below.


**** **** **** **** I respectfully request the following actions be taken immediately:


1. Conduct a detailed review of the transactions 

2. Confirm if these transactions were miscoded to bypass the gambling restriction.

3. Issue a full refund for any transactions found to be in violation of the restrictions.


I trust that you understand the seriousness of this matter and will handle it with the urgency it requires. I appreciate your prompt attention to this issue and look forward to your swift resolution.


Should you need any further information or documentation from my end, please do not hesitate to contact me..


Thank you for your cooperation.


Best regards,


this is what I sent and within 5 days I was refunded. Which casino did you use.

I don't know if your case will be more difficult because then they don't round any merchant code.. because on your transactions it says that the money has gone directly to santeda. But on ours it says something else.. but I really hope I'm wrong

Pretty sure you can’t get a refund then. Since the transaction have the casino name in it.
