We have so many testimonials to read here that show that proceedings can be discontinued. It's just damn important to have a good criminal defense lawyer at your side. Of course, it always plays a role whether you are already known to the police. But if you are a first-time offender and have a clean criminal record, there is a good chance that the case will be dropped.

So
Today was the day for me too.

"You received a credit note for 50,-€ from the online casino Mountberg Limited. The Provider does not have a valid gambling license in Germany"

Is the penalty calculated based on the payout amount or the offense?

What is your advice? Involve a lawyer in this case too?

For 50€? Seriously? Wtf. When did you get the €50 transferred?

and well... I wouldn't advise you to hire a lawyer for 50€. It's too little...

Date of crime: August 2023

I received the letter yesterday and yes, I felt a bit taken for a ride at first.
I will still contact a lawyer on Monday.
I think it would be a shame if I had a criminal record for €50.

Interesting. Not even 1.5 years and I've been investigated for €50. Ridiculous, if I may put it that way.

I don't think you'll get a sentence of more than 90 days for that.

Nobody opens a barrel for €50. There's more to it than that.

🤣🤣 I received a complaint from the public prosecutor's office (police) for 12.35 EUR. It was a long time ago but it was dropped because of 12.35 🤦‍♂️...... DE halt. No other problems.

Sounds like a complicated situation, XxGameBoyxX. I understand that receiving a letter from the prosecutor's office can be concerning, especially for such an amount. Discussing it with a lawyer might be a sensible step to understand all possible consequences. I hope everything gets resolved without issues.

So I'm not hiding anything.
Here is a picture: https://imgur.com/a/sRdcqfE

In fact, the other payouts were also all made via platforms licensed in Germany.

My bank advisor has been unavailable to me for 1 year and I was always served by the receptionist when I needed something. It all makes sense now too.

Thank you Sparkasse

I've heard that even a preliminary meeting with a lawyer can cost up to 100 euros. If Gamerboy is only talking about 50 euros, wouldn't it be better if he went directly to the court that wrote to him and deposited these 50 euros in the court's coffers? Either way, he remains guilty, except that he now wants to go the very expensive route with a lawyer and possibly negotiation costs.
