Online Casinos in general: Online casino - fear of consequences

Topic created on 04th Aug. 2022 | Page: 1 of 2 | Answers: 13 | Views: 3,611

Hello all,

since I had a little too much time and boredom during my vacation, I signed up for the first time at an online casino from Gammix Limited
In the period of two weeks I became quite addicted to the incentive and in this time I transferred approx. 2600€ (in several 100 and 150 increments) from my bank account
by instant bank transfer. In the process I "won" about 1700€ and had this transferred to my account

Since I now stand with a loss of 900€ and have determined that the whole thing is not good for me, I have also directly permanently blocked

Now in retrospect and when browsing the forum I saw that there were users whose bank accounts were blocked, e.g. because of suspicion of money laundering
or were partially threatened with charges. Actually, I thought that since last year Online Casinos were legal in Germany, but it seems to be a gray area.

Now I'm really freaking out if my bank, where I've been a customer for years, will block my account or something like that because I did something illegal (?).
Are my worries justified? I'm lying in bed right now driving myself absolutely crazy.

Thanks in advance for the replies

Many greetings

Don't get crazy, these are no sums where the banks become alert and with you there seems to be no regularity
Nothing will happen

In the end, of course, many people who have been stressed by the bank will get in touch.
The large mass where nothing has happened, just does not report. Therefore, stay loose.

However, at the latest since the new State Treaty on Gambling and the German licenses, there can be no talk of a gray area for unlicensed providers

They are more strict. But do not worry too much! There will be nothing!

Simply do not let sleeping dogs lie. And if the bank does get in touch, describe your case and that's it.

Reifeisenbank, however, was very often negatively noticed here with account terminations, because of casino bookings.
