  • Hi everybody, yes I’ve had exactly the same happen to me - two deposits of around £90 straight into my account….and yes of course I’ve online gambled! 
  • I’ve just had £635 credit to my bank , I’ve only played on red lion casino and jackpot charm so it obviously something to do with them , seems very dodgy

    Hi I’ve joined to say I’ve had this too, nearly £400 but I’ve found the matching transactions of the money going out in December, so it must be a refund? 
  • Yeah same here. Got £100 refund yesterday. Yes like everyone else I'm an online gambler. Very strange.... Be nice to get more in the coming days 😜
  • I have had exactly the same this morning - 4 different amounts - what the hell is this about
  • Think im gonna cancel my existing card - im happy with what I got lol
  • Diito here but for me it is payback. One of these online Russian casinos refused to pay out some winnings I had with them. They got me to jump through all manner of hoops. They wanted photographs of me holding my passport with a shot of their website in the background and on and on and on. Eventually I gave up and as a precaution contacted Halifax and Co-operative bank thinking that as they had all my details they may try and stripe me. They cancelled my old cards and sent new ones. So £151.34 for a £120 debt one of these shady casinos owed me is ... well. total karma in my view! :-)  .. I'm not about to give it back so easily. 
  • Same here, 43.50 in account yesterday. Have also used foreign online gambling sites which aren’t affiliated to GameStop. Can I ask if other people have used these sites too?
  • I had the same this morning, 4 credits and I have use online casinos not on GameStop. I have recently closed an account at Lionelbets but they were pretty good and did pay out. I do get random emails and texts from RedLion so I believe I have been a member before along with Royal Oak Casino. It would be good to understand which casino it was but I am definitely closed on both so the account doesn’t need to be active for them to issue a refund. 
  • I had the same situation yesterday where I had 3 payments of around £45 put into my account and just like the rest of you on here I am an online gambler too…….I found it very strange so called the bank and cancelled my card just to be safe but I would like to know which casino the payments were from, it’s so very strange.
