Someone has set up a casino account using my phone number and is charging to my account can I claim back for the amount they have spent?

That does appear to be a pretty watertight way of signing up, but there must be a cancellation policy too I imagine?

 IF that is the only way of registering then it must have been from the phone unless someone put the wrong mobile number in when registering. Did you receive the confirmation text or were you not aware until charges appeared?

Could this have possibly been set up online on a PC ?

It looks very difficult to accidentally subscribe to that one. Maybe there are other methods currently unknown?

The only suspicious aspect of this company is that as hard as I try I cannot identify any named person responsible for its operation.

Not even the UK Gambling Commission has any personnel data.

Nor a trademark application in the USA.

Small Screen Casinos Ltd is a private limited company registered in Alderney C.I.

Highly suspicious and very worrying...
