Help, I have won! What now?

Hello dear forum,

i will try to be brief.
Grey area online casino, actually illegal in Germany, so far no player what happened etc....
I am well informed about the legal situation here in Germany, but I have not yet had a case like this.

You know it. You pay in, win a few hundred € and let it pay out
The bad conscience because of the gray area always exists (at least for me) but what should happen.

Unlike usual, I have had more luck than bad luck this year and in the period from October up to and including December
good wins and was also consistent enough to let these times pay out.
Since me because of the larger sums and the lively traffic in my account turnover again the bad conscience has plagued,
i was here on the forum and have read the worst stories.

It was about account blocking, cancellation of the current account, etc. because the amounts come from abroad.
Money laundering suspicion etc...

In one post, a user mentioned that he had checked with the bank beforehand.
This meant, with amounts up to 17.500€ per quarter one would have nothing to fear.

So I have looked with me times. From October to December, I had 14,700 € paid out.
The bottom line is about 4000 plus, but that doesn't matter.
What matters is that 14,700€ came in from abroad.

I still had about 4000€ on my player account.
My idea was originally to wait until January with the payout (because of the quarterly rule).
Just now I played out of boredom. Am pretty far down and have already said goodbye to the money.
As luck would have it I got on max bet on Eye of Horus FS and now have 11k on my player account.
My record so far!

However, I can't really rejoice. What should I do now?
Cash out in January? Is my money (balance) even safe if I leave it for 4 5 weeks?
And how do I know if this quarterly regulation exists at all?
Logically, a new quarter would have to start in January...
I have so many questions going through my head right now...

I hope someone can help me. By the way, I'm at the Sparkasse...have read here that just often makes problems with online casino...

Am absolutely at a loss...:(

I have also read these horror stories. But I can not confirm this. Have already paid out several times higher sums and never had problems with the savings bank. Believe at the beginning of 2018 I had 30k paid out at once 2019 two times 15k. The last time just a few days ago. Neither call nor mail received

If you have such a fear then just pay out your money in smaller amounts. Set a limit in your player account so you can't gamble it away and pay yourself 2 to 3k every month or every few weeks. I think that is less noticeable than if they see a large amount.
Or have it paid to you on netteller PayPal etc. Pay out. With it you can still buy something nice online or store there first between. From Bitcoin and Co, as some do to store the money I personally think nothing. If you can then pay out too early, you may have to pay taxes if you do not leave it for at least a year

Sparkasse has yet just an it error 😂 ne I was then also at the Sparkasse have 12k paid out and just before that one and paid out. Were already some account movements. When the 12k arrived I had to go to the branch. Has asked me where that comes from and I meant from sports betting. Has still told me if I need help would help. (The Olle probably meant gambling addiction) Can only advise you if the questions where the money comes from, sports betting to answer. Hope all goes well and congratulations 💪💪 of course

Servus, I see like the previous speakers. Have alone a turnover at LeoVegas of about 70k this year. Everything through the bank account
When 5-digit payouts are announced, I let my advisor know with the reference to sports betting

Has never been asked...

Really sad that you have to deal with something like this. I don't think I would see the point of going to my bank or contacting my advisor. If it comes so far I would probably change my bank

I am also with the Sparkasse and have already had 20k paid out at €10,000 each

Call came appointment was made was just asked what that is answered honestly then received a short note that it is actually not allowed to divide 20k on two times 10k to avoid the reporting requirement but that was it then also

Wanted it apparently only for the internal money laundering department

came nothing more have possibly a player identification in the account but otherwise came until today nothing and that was certainly two years ago

Okay. Thanks for all the replies!
Am I reading this correctly that it obviously doesn't matter with quarter etc...? So it doesn't make any difference if I do it now or in January?

The payments come either way and most of the time it's enough if someone happens to look at the account since it doesn't necessarily have to be due to the quarter

Therefore, I personally would not care In doubt simply say sports betting
