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!

After review, we have decided not to uphold your complaint and the details for why are below. With chargebacks for gambling transactions, we only have chargeback rights for when the funds are not credited into your gambling wallet. As such, we cannot raise these through the chargeback scheme. I appreciate you feel as you didn't give the card details to the merchant and no service was provided by them directly that you can raise a chargeback, however as you mentioned these are the payment companies that the casino uses, as such they will have been provided through the casino. I've raised this to the fraud team to review as if we were to look at the transactions as unauthorized by yourself which you mentioned, this could be classified as a scam. They have completed their review and found that we would not be looking to provide any refund as at no point would Chase have identified the merchant as a Crypto merchant. MasterCard have not recognized the merchant as a Crypto merchant which is reflected in the merchant category code. This is a code decided by MasterCard and the merchant, as we have no control over the Merchant Category Code we would not be able to provide a refund through this avenue either. You have mentioned that you have difficulty controlling your gambling spending and raised this with GamStop to put blocks in place with gambling merchants. This is not something we are made aware of and is directly communicated between GamStop and gambling merchants. This does not include all gambling merchants and would need to be raised with GamStop directly to find out if the casino used is included on their registered merchants. I appreciate this is not the outcome you wanted. Going forward, I would like to make you aware of our gambling control feature in the app where you will be able to block transactions for merchants that have the gambling merchant category code. I understand that in this instance the merchants used a different category code and our gambling block would not stop these, but we can report the merchants to MasterCard with evidence showing that they are providing alternative services than what their category code suggests. This will allow MasterCard to investigate this further and amend with the merchants. An alternative option for the merchants who use misleading category codes would be to disable your online transactions as this would block all online transactions. The final option we would have would be to close your Chase account if you feel none of these are able to support your needs or keep your funds secure.




Help please I don't know what to do now...

So clearly Chase don't know what Gamstop is for starters! Gamstop will not help with anything here - these are offshore casinos and to be fair ,with a bit of research and knowledge, nobody should be touching these sites.

Send them the below link - this describes EXACTLY what these sites are doing. It has several names at Mastercard and is classed as money laundering.

Do you have a gambling block on your account? If you don't then there is a chance FOS won't help....

Min ven jeg håber du har det godt.

Hvis du husker mit problem med nationalt væddemål, har de blokeret mit indskud ved at lukke min konto.

Nu har de også blokeret kommunikationen.

I en kontrol, jeg foretog, fandt jeg ud af, at de ikke er kontrolleret af nogen regulerende myndighed.

Hvad skal jeg gøre for at få mine penge tilbage?

I would speak to someone in the bank, so directly maybe fraud/scam team.

If they've taken your money but you can't access it then that is not fair play and you have no access to the money you deposited. Therefore a scam/fraud.

Definitely subject to chargeback

Can I request that EVERYONE from the UK reports these sites to the UK Gambling commission? Explain what has happened.

[email protected]

The more reports they get the more likely they are to actually deal with these criminal enterprises. I already reported Instantcasino.com, Instaspins.com and MyStake.

They take ages to reply but they will not deal with anyone specifically. They are a reports based organisation - if they get enough reports on the same companies they will start taking action.


I have had direct responses against Instantcasino.com though from quite a senior person in their Intelligence and Enforcement team so I assume they were already looking at them. They requested all the information I had.

They have sent a load of delisting requests against affiliates recently to google. They have just grown their team 3 fold as well so more likely that they can take some action now. As I said before, the more reports with the same names coming up is likely to prompt action hence why we should all be reporting where possible. Not saying it is going to stop it completely, but puts pressure on them.

I would send one email per company mate. It then becomes one specific report at a time and they are more likely to take action that way.
