I agree. The bank will check to see that the submissions from Chumba equal the withdrawals from the bank. The bank had already checked with Dean to make sure these payments were authorized and Dean said they were.

It is Dean’s own failure to record his transactions accurately that will probably doom any legal action he might attempt.

I could not possibly record trans I did not make.

It looks like I am not going to get anything back. However I would like sugestions if anybody knows what to do

1. the Bank - When the bank security calls to verify if you have made a transaction with a company is good if you've made one trans., But, the conversation needs to be different if there were say 12 trans. from this company
2. Chumba- This company is crooked. They need to be shut down. There has to be some kind of gov. agency to protect consumers. They are getting bigger and bigger. I am seeing commercials and advertisments all the time. If they did this to me they have got to be scamming people for millions of dollars. Understand I am in no way saying this because I am mad because I lost my money gambling as anybody who gambles knows the risk. The added risk is this online casino, without your knowledge, making withdrawls in your name.

Usually, I get lucky and walk out with a couple of hundred.

It all depends upon how much you walked in with.

It’s like the old joke: How do you make $1 million dollars? Start with $2 million dollars.

If a bank calls you to report unusual traffic on your account (which many banks will do but they are not required to do), YOU start the conversation by saying what activity is legitimate (i.e., what transactions were made by you and how much and to whom the transaction was made). But YOU are the one responsible for keeping track of your bank account transactions. YOU are the one who has to know that you shopped at Target twice in one day and how much you spent each time. The bank only sees the transaction activity.

Chumba Casino, owned by Virtual Gaming Worlds, has operated in the U.S. since 2017. It has run into legal issues in a few states, like Kentucky, for violating state gambling laws. These violations were settled in class action suits. Michigan is joining Idaho and Washington state in no longer offering Chumba Casino/VGW products to consumers but Michigan’s decision was not due to complaints about Chumba.

Although I have not seen any issues with overcharges or illegal bank withdrawals by Chumba, you can consult with an attorney in California for a personal review, to see if you have any legal action to pursue. Again, I think you will have difficulty showing this.

i DON'T KNOW if you saw my other thread. After Chumba kicked me out suddenly there were 2 withdrawls totaling 7500. We ended up getting that back but were never told who did it. I suspect it was realated to Chumba

Could be.

lol... true. I never walk in with more than $20.00 as that is the most I am willing to "gift" to a casino.

That is a smart way to operate with lotteries, too. It is easy to fool yourself into thinking that you can win millions by buying hundreds of lottery tickets but the greater chance is your lottery ticket purchases are simply padding the payout for an eventual very lucky winner who is not you.
