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, you can send it to terrorists, drug cartels, etc.. Then it's perfectly fine and legal.. it's only illegal when they send the money to you. Then you will have your accounts suspended and will be investigated by the authorities. If you want to be successful, you have to be a criminal

Absolutely insane if this is true. Did casino.guru know you were playing from a banned country and the casino still took your money. The casino was in a win win situation and still got it right. I have a hard time believing this, and I absolutely do not mean that you are lying. Can you link this case?

casino.guru needs to protect their business.

Just like askgamblers. As soon as you get too critical in your reviews of a casino, the review get's deleted.

It's not really surprising, but everyone should be aware of it.

It is one thing to leave bad reviews as it can be dramatized a bit by the player and we all experience and see things differently. I can buy that!

But judging in the casino's favor when even the casino itself has gone against its own rules is quite gut-wrenching. Then maybe you shouldn't offer such a service! But that's also just what I think.

I dare to disagree with what you write. If we protected the casinos like that, then we wouldn't have to have any resolution center and we wouldn't try to help the players at all, because according to your logic, we would be fighting each other, isn't that right?

We try to approach things fair and square and do not take sides with anyone.

In terms of reviews, each one is dealt with by a dedicated team, I'm one of the people who handles user reviews, and we certainly have procedures in place to resolve them. So when a review is rejected for something, there's always a reason given. We don't have a problem with a negative user review, but it has to have meaningful value as well. To give an example, if a player describes that they were dissatisfied, withdrawals took a long time, KYC was difficult to handle, support was not helpful, games had low RTP according to the player, and various other things are fine. However, if he comes into the game saying that he put $100 into the casino and didn't win anything, this review is pointless as it is not relevant and informative at all. 

So that's it from my side.

So if I wrote a review on every casino and said to not play there because of transaction laundering, bypassing MCC codes, bypassing Visa/MC regulations, breaking several national and local regulations, you would be fine with it?

One would think that since these actions the casinos are doing, all these casinos should be blacklisted, as they are basically bypassing the only player protection there is, the 7995 gambling block. But I understand that you can't do it because that would really lower the amount of ok casinos on your site, there would be non left, except the properly licensed ones, such as UK/Sweden.


Anyways, it's ok, I don't expect you to do it, even though you really should 🙂

Did anyone get refund / help from Dimoco?


Serveral people on Discord said they got emails saying they were refunded, but nothing seems to show up and someone waited 1 week after the email and still no money.

Cscanner and Dotascanner are all part of the same fraudulent UK registered company and they will not respond as I have tried many times. I have reported them to Action Fraud UK but sure they will continue to get away with this like the rest of these criminal enterprises.

In such cases, we would recommend you to file a complaint and if what you say is confirmed, then we would not have a problem with it, or we would reconsider in the team how to deal with such user reviews. After all, if it has a telling value and it is true and our team has found it to be true, then there is no reason for us to reject such user reviews. 

However, the important thing to add is that if it's just about one thing, it's not so much a casino review, because we'd probably want to know more if you played there. Also, we don't deal with local regulations and anything to do with legality, so you have to take that into account that something like that wouldn't be accepted. 

Additionally, we always try to add as much information as possible to our review, especially the important ones, and it always gets better and we bring more and more of it. But an important part of playing in a casino is to find out some information about it beforehand. If you don't like something at the beginning, find out more details, because I'll tell you an example, if someone plays in a casino and for example two months sees that his money is leaving somewhere else on the bank statement and in another country, I would be interested in it on the first or second time. In my experience a lot of players don't care about almost anything until there are problems. And that's a mistake. 🙂

Hi, in total i deposit 7k euros , and after, I won about 24k and withdrew full money amount. When I try to chargeback 7k by contacting my bank, they block my account!! And I don’t know for how long. This is not right! !!!


I will talk to my lawyer, it’s NOT ok! Casinos hide their merchant code to avoid taxes, it is criminal activity.. it should be stopped somehow/


ALL non local CASINOS are TRUE EVIL! And looks like banks are on their side now. Something is not right.

SCAM scheme 

STAY AWAY! 


Ps Please tell me how did you unblock your bank account, I really need your help 🙁 maybe some of you have the same problem? HELP HELP
