That means that as long as my bank has never approached me, I can think I'm on the safe side? There have also been cases in which the police have sent mail without an account being terminated in advance or an inquiry from the bank?

I wouldn't say no across the board.

My bank never asked me about it, terminated my account 3 months ago without asking beforehand and I'm definitely expecting mail.

It could also be that they issue a notification on suspicion without terminating the account directly.

My account was terminated just like that, without any inquiries. When I asked customer service, they told me that it was because of strange transfers; the bank doesn't like that and wants nothing to do with it. Of course, I'm also waiting for mail from the police.

Maybe you'll both be lucky and there will be no further consequences. Keep your fingers crossed!

That would be sugar, of course, but what I've read here in the forum. On the other hand, I think that there should be 1000s of reports if you look at how many people play and the crime statistics of the individual federal states say something different

Today I saw a comment under a YouTube video on this topic from a user who received mail 2 days ago. Investigation proceedings for unauthorized gambling paragraph 285 on the Internet and now comes the interesting ... Time of offense Friday, 30.10.2020 to Wednesday, 18.11.2020

How can that be?
Before 2021, everything was a gray area and not clearly defined.
Then a few users wrote here that it was time-barred after 3 years.

But the colleague has now received mail retroactively after more than 4 years.

Okay thank you. I saw the comment too. Really funny that the period is before the State Treaty on Gambling. I think this is an isolated case. All the cases I've seen here were from 1.7.2021.

But you're right, back then it was 100% a gray area. That was also during Corona, so that's when most casino visitors played online. There was no longer a lockdown, but March 2020 should have been the first lockdown. According to this logic, significantly more people should have received such a letter.

Should be time-barred.
