Bank account blocked because of online casinos

Hello all,

this is probably an unusual topic, but I would like to ask for your opinions.

Today I was at the ATM normally and wanted to withdraw cash. Then came the message "The card is withdrawn for security reasons". Zack card disappeared in the ATM. I was shocked and drove directly to my bank.
There I was told that they had tried to reach me (I did not receive a letter or similar) because of "conspicuous account movements".
I should come to a conversation with a bank employee in the coming week
The card has been temporarily unblocked, which of course is no longer of any use to me, since it is gone and I was given the opportunity to withdraw cash at the counter.

I have a very bad feeling, since it is well known that the topic of online casino is in a legal gray area and banks that process payments in this area, sometimes make themselves liable to prosecution, etc..

Unfortunately, in the past I have made most deposits at casinos with my bank account and payment service providers such as Sofortüberweisung, and have generally avoided e-wallets.

What could be cooking up now?

I think there will be questions asked there what I have made countless times for payments and "why why why".

Is that any of the bank's business? Do I have to say what I use my money for? Or do I also have rights before the bank in the area of data protection?

what sums are we talking about here?
theoretically, you can only raise your finger and, in the worst case, reprimand them.
as far as further consequences are concerned, they will then be sawing off the branch they are sitting on.
the transfers to Online Casinos are not 100% watertight in terms of legality...

I do not know of course, which period or even which event is now suddenly on the part of the bank to be seen as "conspicuous", but in the last 6-8 weeks I have paid estimated 100x in and 20x out, which is alone because of the account maintenance fees for me a little unwise. I have had some good wins, but also long thirsty stretches and I guess it is in any case turnovers in total in the 5-digit range.

in the worst case, the bank can accuse you of Gambling addiction due to the amount of deposits and withdrawals.

If so, they can cancel any credits you may have and restrict your account to a simple credit account.

NOT your serious xDDDDDD

I was just an hour ago at my bank and made me smart...about Online Casinos

What a coincidence


I wanted to know of course if I can transfer the money to the account and if there is a big hit of over 20k what I have to do...???

Answer from my bank

Up to 15.000€ nobody asks...
From 15.000 to 50.000€ they ask and you only have to say that you got it from the online casino...
From 50.000€ you need a written confirmation...


So the answers to my questions today
