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!

^ Thanks for this, all Revolut told me is that it was a spa in Cardiff, UK but then wouldn’t accept chargebacks anyway.

Hello, do you have contact details for Estolio Limited?


Unfortunately, I also lost a lot of money there...

Estolio is directly connected to gambling though.. you can't raise a chargeback against them

And how about raising dissatisfaction with the services? That wouldn't be possible in this case?

I don't think it's enough for the purposes of the chargeback.. consider that already when it comes to gambling, the bank 9.5/10 refuses the practice, if you have made payments and these have gone through estolio, the merchant code is that of gambling so even if the procedure is started, they can demonstrate that the deposits have been credited to your casino account.. but I repeat that the bank always refuses complaints with casinos.. if it is 100% Revolut

Josie, have you had any luck yet? I can tell you where I am with my dispute via NatWest and monzo if you want to email me?

Hi Martin, when you say "raised some of them manually" is this via the "something wrong, get help" tab in the monzo app or a different way? Thanks

I have contacted Mastercard to see what their perspective is on what casinos that use merchants are doing. I will keep you updated on their response.

I already have this response. They have stated categorically that if there is clear evidence of this they will hold the acquiring banks responsible and ensure the merchants cannot use Mastercard to process payments again. They generally cant help get your money back but can close down the ability the sites have to accept Mastercard - they have done it with several really dodgy sites.

Yeah.


Destream are still touting their Mastercard based debit card for streamers and other content creators though.....


And I know for a fact that Mastercard know all about their shady behaviours.

Hey,


Sorry to ask, but I don't suppose you have a chat log, or can let me know where you managed to chat direct to Mastercard regarding the quote about gambling transactions?


I hate to hassle people but I'm desperate for this final, tiny piece of the jigsaw......

I don't mate but I think I know who does - guy that used to post on here has most of the conversations with Mastercard. I'll see if he can give the info. Its also in their merchant terms and conditions I think.
