Online Casinos in general: Charge of unauthorized gambling ( 285 StGB) (Page 84)

As an outsider and not familiar with e.g. licenses, the site also gives the impression that it is legal. At Lottoland there is even a 24-hour block button, what n nonsense, and they only have MGA licenses on the sites that currently operate them. It's downright cheeky to report players who just want to gamble a little. Typical Germany

They have recently been whitelisted and thus become legal. RATGEBER 18+ | Lottoland Deutschland GmbH has received permission for the German market | AK-Kurier.de


Nevertheless, the site gave this impression before the "legalization". More so than Platincasino or other providers. Therefore, any cases involving Lottoland should be dropped.

Hi there, my lines above were meant more as a joke.

There is nothing new with me, except that I found out that a few of my family and friends were still active with Lottohelden, or still are.
Everyone was immediately speechless and thought I was taking the p**s.

It wasn't just the worker or employee who played and didn't know about the illegality of the site, but also the civil servant.

Even outsiders who didn't play there and whom I showed the Lottohelden homepage would have played there.
You can't make the site any more German than that.

Anyway, I'm waiting for my lawyer to get back to me.

Have a nice evening everyone...

And did any of the people mentioned result in charges or convictions?

Concerns only lottoland.de and lottohelden.de not the.com domain are listed under a different operator and are still illegal.

This is how almost all licensed providers do it, simply found / acquire new subsidiaries with a German license and the money still flows to the parent company that continues to offer illegal promotions, only it is thus an independent new company and the GGL is no longer interested.

This is beyond disingenuous.

Shouldn't really stand a chance in court. Sounds really absurd that you Risk a fine because you typed .com instead of .de.

Moin, either ignore and hope for an attitude or directly take a little money in hand and discuss with a lawyer and demand access to the file.

Depending on your situation, do you know how much money you have paid out in the last few years? When was your bank account closed?
It also depends a little on your federal state, Bavaria is currently taking a very tough approach.

But basically, of course, the first thing to do is not to make a statement and ignore it, only mail from the public prosecutor's office must not be ignored.
