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!

Basically admitting on here to gambling but then claiming to not receive goods is an illegal offence. They are saying that we are capitalising on both playing with the funds and then getting money back. Also by us getting other people involved it makes it more serious as it’s a fraudulent scheme.


this is what they are telling me. I perfectly understand people wanting to keep their posts on here but it’s not worth it for me to do so receiving the threat.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to address the recent post claiming that a user received a legal threat from a individual user and suggesting that we remove our discussions about refund requests. While it’s important to take any potential legal matters seriously, there are a few points that need clarification:

  • Lack of Evidence: The user has not provided any concrete evidence of the legal letter they claim to have received. Without seeing the actual document, it’s difficult to assess the validity of the claim.


  • No Specifics Provided: The post mentions that what we are doing is "actually illegal" but does not specify what exact actions or discussions are considered illegal. For us to take appropriate steps, we need clear information on what legal grounds are being cited.


  • Public Discussions and Consumer Rights: Discussing consumer experiences, including issues with payments and potential refunds, is a crucial aspect of consumer protection and transparency. We have the right to seek advice and share our experiences with these companies, especially if we believe there have been unethical practices.

Yes, those who have done this will be charged with fraud. Myself and the majority of this forum acted in accordance with the law and announced that

  1. the money went to the casino
  2. manipulation of the merchant code enabled the deposit, if the merchant code had not been manipulated, the transaction would never have occurred.
  3. manipulation of merchant code is against the law
  4. MCC codes are part of a regulatory system that ensures that payment transactions are handled appropriately and ethically. Using the wrong code is a breach of contract.




1. **Breach of contract:** Using the wrong MCC code can result in breach of contract with your payment processor and credit card companies, which can result in fines or even account closure.


2. **Penalties:** Credit card companies and payment processors may impose a penalty on merchants who fraudulently use the wrong MCC code.


3. **Loss of Trust:** Using the wrong code can undermine the trust between the merchant and their payment processor.


In summary, a merchant should not change their MCC code themselves, instead they should work with their payment processor and credit card companies to ensure that their business is correctly classified.

So just leave the thread if you are that bothered after receiving scaremongering contact.

You are now attempting to shut down a forum thread that has and is continuing to highlight the illegal/criminal tactics that these organised crime gangs behind these fake/scam websites are using.

I’m not surprised they are trying to get this thread removed as can’t believe it’s taken them so long. Clearly it’s now hitting them financially so they have to do something.

C'mon man... from what I understand, the letter said something like this:

USERS have been trying to manipulate transactions information


The claims made about manipulating transaction information are vague and lack concrete evidence. The letter supposedly states that users are "trying to manipulate transaction information," but there is no detailed explanation or legal citation provided.


Without seeing the specific legal grounds or evidence they are basing their threats on, it’s challenging to take these claims seriously. Legal threats without clear evidence and proper legal context are often tactics to silence consumer complaints.

Could you send one of us here on the forum privately these files so we can see what is illegal in our operations.

Morning all


i have removed all of my posts on this forum and suggest you all do to. I have been contacted by a company who’s name appears on this thread a lot who have been reading this thread and what we are doing is actually illegal and they intend on prosecuting anyone who continues to publicly post about these refunds.


I would get this thread closed down if I was casino.guru as it’s harming more people in the long run. The payment processor isn’t messing around and we can all be sued for this.

Hi, we took the position that every player has freedom of speech and expression and as long as it is not against our rules, there was basically no reason to delete this thread. It will remain that way and from our point of view we basically let the players communicate their problems. 

In addition, to tell you the truth, we have also contacted 2 casinos who have written to us about this thread, but to date we have not heard back from them, so we are still waiting for an update from them. 

We are not in a position to deal with questions about what is legal and illegal, because we are not lawyers, so I would leave this area to the people who handle it. 

Therefore, this is what I would add to it and of course everyone has the opportunity to evaluate whether and what he/she wants to write here.

Or you stick to the relevant topic of this thread, instead of trying to scam people.
