I'm still waiting for the answer from the court. According to the lawyer, it should arrive by the end of the year. I'm looking forward to it and will let you know what comes of it.

Hopefully it will end well... Especially as nobody here knows for sure that it was illegal in the first place. Or that it still is.

I'm also a bit scared that it could still catch me out. I had some big wins in 2021. Now the question is, does the year 2021 still count? My wins were mainly from the beginning of 2021 to June 2021, when did the new law come into force? The wins were mainly at Videoslots and you could still play there normally in 2021, but I don't think they disappeared from Germany until the end of 2022.

July 2021 came the State Treaty on Gambling (1.7.2021)

Buh I was lucky again, I made 3rd place in the battle at Videoslots back then and won € 1700, that was in May 2021.

After that I only paid out very small amounts, but if it still comes to the report will my savings bank account also be terminated? That wouldn't be such a nice thing either.

I don't think there is a fixed grid according to which the procedure is followed... playing at Lottoland since 2014 with small amounts and also payouts..nothing has come yet. But can still...

Yes, you don't know how they proceed, but I could imagine that they have a kind of AI system, and if the AI recognizes something from the last few years, e.g. from the year 2022, then they become active and forward it to the public prosecutor, if that is the case, there will be something to come for some people in the next few years, the statute of limitations is 5 years. I have the feeling that it could still affect me too, I'm not concerned about the amount because it was only tiny amounts in 2022. maybe a maximum of €500, I'm more afraid that my account will be terminated. I'm completely satisfied with the Sparkasse, I have an online banking account there, and of course I don't want to lose it.

I would like to know how many people play there unknowingly..a friend of mine is with Sparkasse and plays at Lottohelden. So far he hasn't received anything either... maybe it also depends on the amount of the payouts? But if every suspicion was reported, the forum would probably be full of posts?

Why? Nobody is obliged to post here if they receive a letter from a lawyer.
