Yes, let's see what comes around with me first without a lawyer and statement. It will only take until the end of April and then until I get mail I would be interested to know if there are currently new settings?

something like this can happen to anyone, who knows that these sites are illegal. There are so many offers on the internet, who really thinks about whether they are legal?


I also played something like this, but only until the beginning of 2021.

That's right. I thought that too.


We who are active in this "scene" know that, of course. But a user (I hate using genders, but I don't know whether it's the or the strawberry ) who is playing for the first time, how is this person supposed to know that?

I think if it ever comes to a lawsuit, the lawyer can argue accordingly.

All these criminal proceedings are somehow just a waste of tax money because they'll be dropped anyway.

Right. I thought the same thing myself.

It's also about people who are not so IT-savvy. I remain of the opinion that there is hardly any overview and that some providers exploit this and make it appear that playing with them is legal. German site, German support, TAX... I find it weak to just point the finger at the player and only punish them.

Do they really stop that much? I've read that some people have already had to pay €2000 + 90 daily rates etc. In my case it was only about 3-5 depositors and my very first payout of 4000€ in my whole life but oh well

Yes, some have to pay, but most cases are closed. Withoutwings has had it stopped twice. He was dealing with significant sums.
