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 have written several times here and informed people that it is a fraud if you make a card complaint to the bank and lie about where the payment went (i.e. not saying it went to the casino/games).


Either you keep lying about not getting the service, or you are being honest. Regardless, there may be consequences if the bank now discovers that you were dishonest when you made your card claim (attempted fraud).

you don't have to lie. It's just shooting yourself in the foot. I mean money a is already gone and you have to assume that. You have to be honest and keep the bank with one, so it's just a bonus if you get tbx judgment

Now we now have a unique opportunity to make a real difference. We know that there are Swedish companies involved in organized crime, and the crimes committed are clear and serious. Many of us have been affected by these casinos in one way or another. Sure, you can say that we ourselves have a responsibility, but those who really understand the problem know that it is about more than that.


We now face the chance to get revenge. The money back is a bonus, but the most important thing is to put these companies in place. We should be thankful that we live in a country with laws that protect us from activities like this. If we don't report these companies and take advantage of this chance, we are just stupid. I'm definitely going to do it, because if not for myself, then to save someone else.


I urge you all to report. Together we are stronger. Remember that it is these companies that have made mistakes. They have deliberately bypassed all forms of consumer protection, such as blocking merchant codes. We have a duty to act and protect ourselves and others. Let us stand united and show that we do not tolerate these abuses.

why let these knaves piss in our faces and laugh at us…

Block him! You see he is a scammer. His tips and advice are not welcome from anyone in here. And these scammers hit on some victim they can trick sooner or later

A company that deals with casino and withdraws your money from your account but masks it with the fact that you bought flowers in Kenya is not regulated. Well, they won't be a problem 🙂

The bank didn't refund anything. Also received some stupid threat letter from the casino with this -->


Chargeback is a way to recover funds that have been illegally obtained by a trader, not a way to cancel the contract.


Under Consumer law "Act of Alternative Dispute Resolution in Consumer Matters" Paragraph 7 Section 32: Single Point of Contact for Consumer Conciliation and notification obligations of the competent authorities and supervisory authorities, this type of activity is interpreted as fraudulent. 



random, I guess....

But I did receive the service from them, why should I receive my money back? Don't quite understand, sorry.

you received services from them, services you could never have accessed if the casino and the "store" hadn't illegally manipulated the merchant code. You were also never informed about the exact payment process. In essence, you agreed to something that was misleading and misrepresented.


In other words, if you have to ask yourself this question, maybe you shouldn't be trying to get your money back.

If you make a chargeback, you should NOT communicate with the casino anymore

Have you ever won big and then they pull out some BS rule that you violated that nullifies your win? Rules that their software can clearly automatically prevent you from violating, but are just there as a pitfall to save them from having to payout winners? Rules that would not be legal for any regulated casino to implement?


I have. These places are total scams and scum. They're operating illegally, and they're stealing people's money. They are criminals.
