i've been reading here for a few months because I also got such a friendly letter from the police, now I would like to share my experiences with you.

I received the following letter:
in a preliminary investigation you are accused of committing / participating in the following criminal offense
accused:
Participation in illegal gambling according to $ 285 StGB


Addition
It has come to the attention of the police via your bank that in the period May 2022 you repeatedly made
Payments to the lotteries "Videoslots" and "Red Rhino Ltd", which are not legitimized in Germany.



This was stated in the letter....? 😂🤔🤔

I can hardly imagine. Investigation proceedings are always pending with the public prosecutor's office. The police only file criminal charges. The police would also never write that they "heard something". Perhaps the author of the thread has used his own words.

No, that's exactly what the letter said

Did you make a win or was it stopped because "there's nothing to get from the player anyway"?

I had several small wins in that period, but I also played the weeks before and after, it's funny that they only focused on that period in the letter.

Hello,

i have an appointment with my lawyer next week. They have received the file, but I wasn't told what it says on the phone. In any case, there is a need for action and he only said something like: what were they actually thinking... 😐

keep you up to date...

In any case, I know that I will never transfer even €1 to any casino again in my life.

In the end, I was completely stupid and addicted. I just blindly searched for casinos on Google and thought to myself "sign up here, sign up there and why not there too"... So I gambled away the win from one at the other... Every time I wanted to stop, I just couldn't 😐

Regardless of the procedure, I haven't gambled for a long time and have also been banned everywhere for a long time. Gambling addiction therapy has also started.

Cell phone gambling in the online casino has ruined my life for years, and now I just hope that this book closes for good and I come out of it reasonably lightly.

In any case, I can't recommend the current situation to anyone.

I thought so too, in my own words, but it has nothing to do with official language.

"We have heard"
You really have to smile if you're not affected yourself.

Do you have a lawyer who specializes in this area?

Roughly how much win payout are you talking about if your lawyer reacts like this? It seems a bit drastic to me.

Or are you looking at 6-digit amounts?
