How do these spies know that people are gambling illegally? Is it the network operators or the banks that are singing?

The banks are obliged to report suspected money laundering and take action against it.

In the case of unlicensed casinos, the source of the incoming payment cannot be determined with certainty and is impossible to trace.
Depositing money in a non-DE casino is therefore only punishable under the Interstate Treaty on Gambling, while receiving payments from a non-DE casino raises suspicions of money laundering. A very superficial explanation.

I also received a letter from the police yesterday. It only says that I am accused of participating in illegal gambling on 25.1 in Frankfurt at 0:00. Funnily enough, it's exactly the same date that the bank closed my current account. A week before that, my bank sent me a request for information on my means of payment, which I had to fill in. I answered truthfully that the amounts were from gambling winnings. But I deposited almost all of them again.

By the way, as a hint. We gambled on Stake. Deposits and withdrawals via Coinbase.

Which bank has betrayed you? Savings bank?

I don't quite understand the difference between getting an indictment straight away and getting an arrest warrant.
But imprisonment would be a bit harsh for Online Casinos, wouldn't it?

None yet. My lawyer has now written a statement to the public prosecutor's office. Now we're waiting for an answer. Either a summary penalty order or a dismissal.

Own goal I would say....

If the payments were made via Coinbase, why do you tell them it's gambling?
You could have explained it differently and nothing would have happened.

Yep, I agree, unfortunately honesty doesn't get you far in this country - on the contrary, you're more likely to cause problems for yourself

But I can understand it from him, the bank knocks on the door nicely and maybe asks nicely hey please tell us what's going on, it's not that bad and bang
