With me it's very similar because it's about 1/2 million
I hate this uncertainty
You are welcome to read through my case here :

Hello dear readers, I registered to present my case.

I can't find anything relevant on the internet and everywhere it says something different. That is why I am trying here now.

In addition I could read in this forum a case with mine very similarly is, only the sum with my case around some more highly turns out.

To the matter:
My mother has won in an online casino amount xxx.xxx. She had it paid out to her account at the Volksbank in xx.xxx steps (because more per transfer was not possible).

She transferred half of the win to my account at the savings bank without telling me.

Our accounts have been blocked. I can't pay bills or withdraw cash for almost two months.

The prosecutor wants to seize the money because it is illegal.

The casino in question is licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA).
Eu license.

On the page of the said casino is the following, quote:
Casino XXX is licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) in Malta. The Maltese gambling license is of course also valid in Germany, Austria and all other EU member states in which gambling is not regulated by the state legislation .

She gambled from Baden-Württemberg (residence is there).

What does that mean ?

Lawyer is involved.

By what right does the state want to seize the money?

The money is to be transferred to a "blocked account" to free my account. There the money shall stay until a final decision is made.
The problem is that the amount is not enough to garnish the full amount or to transfer to the blocked account, because I have an overdraft and when the money was received by me I was just under -3,000 €.

That is why I will temporarily open a new account at another bank.

The criminal policewoman told me, when I asked her where the money would go, that it would go to the state treasury.

She also told me that it was illegal in all states except Schleswig-Holstein.

So the win is seized because online gambling is illegal but then it ends up in the state treasury or what ?

By what right is this possible ?

Then the state would make itself just as punishable ?
I am not a lawyer I have no idea therefore I turn to you and hope somebody knows better about this than I do.

I have tried to be as brief as possible.
If you have questions then ask them.

It can not be that you are not protected as a consumer !

If it is illegal, why is it possible to gamble money, but if the win is high, the state takes it?
Where is there something like that ?

I ask for answers
Thanks in advance

If you like we can keep each other updated.
It's been about 6-7 weeks for me too.

You have called in a lawyer, then wait and see what happens.
Here, no one will be able to give a general answer, that would only be speculation.

Where I do not quite believe the story, but that's just my opinion.

Yes... probably I make the effort to create an account and type my fingers sore for a long text because the story is fictitious as with Xfaktor the unbelievable... I have otherwise too much time

Seriously, what is there not to believe ?

What makes me wonder, why can you pay out at a casino on two different accounts.
Where one account is in your name.

The mother forwarded it to Sindragosa's account. At least that's how I understood it

Nothing will happen. Provided that there is really only the suspicion of having participated in "illegal gambling"

If money laundering has been carried out, it looks different!

J****8 wrote on 26.01.2020 at 16:23: Hello dear community. Finally the time has come, I can provide you with positive news. The prosecution has finally dropped my case and the money is free. It was a really tough time and I was very upset about it. Now I am even happier that it is over the costs are now for the lawyer with a win of 45,500: 11,250 euros. That is of course a pity, there is enough left over but yes ... you know what I mean. I thank all those who have spoken well to me.

Congratulations first of all.

May I ask?

From which state did you play ?

What license did the online casino have ?

How long did it take from the moment the account was frozen until the money was released?



I have a very similar case at the moment.

My mother has played from Baden-Württemberg.

I also think that a lawyer would not take such a case if the matter was clear that it would end in a certain defeat

I am nevertheless very much concerned
Would be very very happy if you could answer me.

The user can no longer answer you, because she has deleted herself. But all your questions will be answered here, if you read her posts here in the thread. Question 1 which federal state ? accused by the public prosecutor's office Memmingen thus federal state Bavaria - Question 2 which license ? It was a Maltese mga license and the casino where she had won was Videoslots.
