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!

Instantcasino forced to remove Mastercard and Visa from their website advertisements. So what do they do - basically shut their old site down and make a new one without advertising them on the main page but they ARE still available as payment options!!!! Literally wtf man!!!! These crooks will go to any lengths.

Låt mig försöka sammanfatta mitt svar i ett inlägg. Om du inte har något emot det kan jag se det bredare, eftersom det här är viktiga punkter och vår strategi kan gå något emot det sätt på vilket information om onlinekasinon vanligtvis regleras enbart baserat på licenser.

Casino Guru är inte en speloperatör. Vi driver inga kasinon och vi kontrollerar inte vilka spelare en webbplats väljer att acceptera. Det vi gör är att erbjuda så mycket faktabaserad och aktuell information som möjligt, inklusive licensinformation, spelarklagomål och varningar om otillbörliga metoder.

Sanningen är att många spelare som är självavstängda via GamStop fortfarande aktivt letar efter sätt att spela och ofta registrerar sig på utländska eller kryptokasinon. Detta händer redan, ofta utan ordentlig information eller sammanhang, och vi ser konsekvenserna nästan dagligen i vårt forum och klagomålssystem. Spelare rapporterar problem med kasinon som har ett säkerhetsindex under 2, kasinon som tillämpar rovgiriga regler eller helt enkelt slutar svara. Det är inte teori. Det är den vardagliga verkligheten vi försöker förbättra.

Vårt innehåll anpassar sig till varje besökares plats. Spelare från Storbritannien kan tydligt se vilka kasinon som är licensierade av UKGC och vilka som inte är det. På så sätt, om någon ändå väljer att registrera sig hos en olicensierad operatör, beror det inte på att en recensionssajt lurade eller uppmuntrade dem. Det är ett medvetet beslut fattat med full medvetenhet om riskerna.

Vi påstår inte att detta är en perfekt metod. Men enligt vår erfarenhet ökar risken för sårbara spelare bara om man låtsas att dessa kasinon inte existerar. När synligheten tas bort, så gör även varningarna det, och det hjälper ingen.

Det är allt jag kan tillägga från min sida. Jag förstår att vissa kan se saker annorlunda och det är helt okej. Jag är inte här för att övertyga någon, bara för att förtydliga hur vi arbetar och varför.

Let me try to sum up my response in one post. If you don’t mind, I’ll take a broader view, because these are important points and our approach may go slightly against the grain of how information about online casinos is typically regulated based on licensing alone.

Casino Guru is not a gambling operator. We don’t run any casinos and we don’t control which players a site chooses to accept. What we do is offer as much factual and up-to-date information as possible, including licensing details, player complaints and warnings about unfair practices.

The truth is that many players who are self-excluded via GamStop still actively look for ways to gamble and often end up registering at offshore or crypto casinos. This is already happening, often without any proper information or context, and we see the consequences almost daily in our forum and complaint system. Players report issues with casinos that have a Safety Index below 2, casinos that apply predatory rules or simply stop responding. That’s not theory. It’s the everyday reality we’re trying to improve.

Our content adapts to each visitor’s location. Players from the UK can clearly see which casinos are licensed by the UKGC and which are not. That way, if someone still chooses to register with an unlicensed operator, it’s not because a review site tricked or encouraged them. It’s a conscious decision made with full awareness of the risks.

We don’t claim this is a perfect approach. But in our experience, pretending these casinos don’t exist only increases the risk for vulnerable players. When visibility is removed, so are the warnings, and that helps no one.

That’s all I can add from my side. I understand that some may see things differently and that’s absolutely fine. I’m not here to convince anyone, just to clarify how we work and why.

"Lost fairly" means that when a player decides to play in a casino (local, offshore, licensed, unlicensed), it's their decision. They deposit the funds, play games, have fun, but eventually lose, then it's unfair to claim the deposits back and it's dangerous misrepresenting the truth to a bank or provider.

When you play in an offshore casino, deposit numerous times, but then the casino refuses to process the withdrawal, that's unfair and we wouldn't blame anyone for attempting to get the deposits back. If you're a casino that accepts players from various countries, you need to be ready to pay them out.

We know there are players who purposely look for casinos that aren't licensed in their country, but they accept players from the country. When they win, they get paid. When they lose, they attempt to get the deposits back through chargebacks. They want to play a no-risk game. My post is about informing the community members about potential risks that might be unclear for some users, but the risks are there. When you go through the conversation here or on other websites, you'll see players who've been sued by their own bank. I don't think it's worth it.

Let me make this crystal clear. You admit these offshore casinos are unlicensed, predatory, and frequently refuse to pay out — yet you continue to list them and earn affiliate revenue from them. You knowingly profit from the exploitation of self-excluded UK players, then claim you’re helping them by "offering visibility."

That’s not harm reduction. That’s complicity.

When you know a casino operates without a license, targets excluded users, and breaches AML and withdrawal rules, but still monetise that traffic — you are part of the ecosystem. You’re not a watchdog. You’re a storefront.

These replies are going straight into my media dossier, my formal FCA and ICO complaints, and my legal submissions. The Gambling Commission already confirmed these sites are not authorised to serve UK customers. Yet here you are, platforming them anyway and downplaying chargeback rights.

Your site has become a shield for criminal operators under the cover of "transparency." But the mask slipped. Thanks for confirming everything.
