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!

Yes, but what did you tell the bank? Did you say you played or bought stuff

Noda (Naudapay) aren’t scammers though. They are a reputable company who are regulated by the Financial conduct authority in the Uk

Ah okay. I understand, but most of the "traders" we discuss here are scammers

Digikey, Budapest. (digikeyboard.com) refunded and emailed me with this explanation: they dont seem to understand exactly what is happening.

Also feastingmen.com / amegagame.com refunded today.


So don't let yourselves be threatened. it is obvious that the Casinos are taking advantage of some companies here and it is they who are doing the wrong thing.

Were you honest with the bank when you made your complaints?

I would describe myself also as a gambling addict. In some form. But I have managed to win and I have managed to withdraw and enjoy my winnings. Also I have managed to easily close my account when playing at Curacao casinos. Also! I have been reaching for help in my community and gambling addictions specialists. And I would strongly suggest doing the same for everyone in this forum, not just trying to request money back, because you didn't win.


I and only I decided to deposit and play.

All companies that are not part of this scam! Are all the companies that pay back and have been cheated by the casino them too. Those who do not pay are those who are part of the scheme. If there were no mistakes, NOBODY would have paid back

Are you stupid or can’t you read? People don’t do chargebacks because they didn’t win.

He does not respond to such messages. He just keeps repeating the same thing. And adds "only because I listened to this forum" he is so kind who clearly warns us that you should not listen and you should not do.. that the bank freezes an account is not the whole world, they have legal requirements to do it. But if you have been honest, there is nothing to worry about. For example, I have made complaints and been completely honest. What should I worry about? I have written that if why I believe the purchases should not be valid.. the bank believes otherwise, life simply goes on.


If, on the other hand, I had said that I bought stuff I didn't receive and then it turns out that I gambled away the money, then it's something completely different

No need to call me names....lol


If you would win, like I've have done few times, you wouldn't request charge-backs, no need to lie to yourself and others.


Trust me I have lost as well. But you are just finding some loop-holes, that by reading this forum looks like could backfire anyways.


I'm leaving this forum as well. Bye. Bit to toxic.

What company could this be? Share their message here. Because I honestly don't understand what we consumers have done wrong? We have sent a message that

a. The payment went to the casino

b. The wrong merchant code was used in the payment and it bypassed the gambling restriction set on my card, which is why the payment was successful.

c. The payments have gone to a company from which I never received service.


so what is the problem/crime here now? 😅

I'm not scared, I'd love to see these thugs in court. I'm ready.

Yes damn what people got down after Fr(N)audapay made allegations of false transfer information.

Surely these are the ones who use unauthorized funds and shell companies to be able to make these deposits to casinos?

It’s just scare tactics. On the contrary, it's one's duty as a citizen in any democratic country to report such things. The truth is, it's a form of money laundering. These companies record the transactions as "purchases." They are the ones deceiving the bank, Mastercard, national laws, and the tax authorities.

As I’ve already said, you dont even understand the problem. 👋

I don't understand how you can be so scared. And then most of them have only had contact with these scam companies.. I have even involved banks, and will involve authorities too.. I have NOT done anything wrong. I know it and am 100% sure of it. I have even saved all communications with these shell companies and sent them to the bank

Haha😅 instead of reading a 99-page long thread on casinoguru, they could read their email and take it a little more seriously. Their threats are ridiculous, not justified let alone legal.
