As far as I'm informed, yes it was known for a long time that people were playing despite illegality. According to the EU the ban was legally

permissible as long as no functioning player and youth protection was in place.
This was made up for with the new regulation. Think, with longer delay Germany would have actually violated
EU law (freedom of services) violated. I can delay this for a while, but of course not
forever. This has now been taken into account. I think there was also a time limit set by the EU.

The then Prime Minister of Malta, Muscat, was also involved in the mafia structures
https://taz.de/Korruptionsskandal-auf-Malta/!5654434/

Since it is now however an EU state, one must accept it probably. Think, for it one has it particularly strictly
regulated, also because one knows the structures in Malta.

The best thing about the EU is that it has no real sovereign rights and can neither make laws nor has any other responsibility. Only that is not possible as long as all the corrupt politicians are there after their time and squander even more taxes.
You only have to look at Flinten Uschi. One sees her the devil already with her thousand children.

Why is it legal to collect taxes for something that is illegal? That can demand but only after it is legal? I really do not understand anything more

Well, but the Online Casinos / online gaming arcades that have applied for a license would then be legal in Germany and are just taxed with 5.3 percent so I had understood it at least.

Only what is then with the Mga casinos from Malta have not applied for a German license as well as all Curacao casinos?

Because also on illegal activities the incomes must be taxed, otherwise they would have compared with legal
Activities an advantage.

Thank you. I guess some people here just don't want to understand that.

It is quite clear that Platin C. is just a rip-off. They do not adhere to the rules and in the report it says yes they have to even now, otherwise they are not considered in the allocation. PC has since July eh apparently changed the Qutoe so that no wins (so also not lost from time to time one has always been otherwise there would not be the OC) the 5% they now just take along until they say goodbye to the German market.
Does anyone here actually play with these new rules with the 5 seconds, etc.? That's too boring for me.

Quote from the article:

To date, the topic of online gambling tax is a hopeless mess. Every Provider seems to be cooking his own soup and deciding on his own authority whether the 5.3% betting tax is to be collected and paid by the player or not. However, the problem should become less relevant when the first German gambling licenses for virtual slot games are issued. It should then be clear that all online gaming arcades with a German license are obliged to withhold and pay the 5.3% betting tax in any case.

Whether the providers cook their own soup or not is completely irrelevant

The only issue is that these OCs have been collecting taxes from "THE PLAYERS" since July and apparently just keep the money
That is called FRAUD. Off point.

Would like to have an article that addresses the problem directly and says that the players here are clearly cheated
