There's a lot of opinions - according to last year's BGH ruling, it's probably a bit more illegal in Germany at the moment 😬But I think they're aiming more at casinos than at gamblers. You're unlikely to drag tens of millions of gamblers into the courts. I believe that this year comes the regulation or total ban - should we ever have a government capable of action.

Here is also an interesting article on the subject: Is online gambling legal or illegal in Germany?

The verdict was overturned in the second instance and the master painter got his money + wins back. This was also the first and so far only conviction since the first online casino was opened in the late 90s. I know from a casino manager that against this 25-year-old, employed master painter, also other investigations ran. They had this young man in their sights, but couldn't prove anything and then they tried to pull the casino card. Similarly as with Al Capone, which one could prove nothing and he was convicted in the long run because of tax evasion. As I said, however, the case in Germany was not Hollywood ripe, since the master painter got his money back in the end.

Don't worry about that. Millions of jackpots have been won in Germany over the years and it has never been reported that a millionaire winner has had his money confiscated, although alarm bells automatically go off when such money is received and the tax office and other authorities are automatically notified by the banks.

Also, no gambler will be convicted anymore. Either there will be a complete ban or regulation and thus legalization. If a complete ban should come, then players have no possibilities to Deposit in Online Casinos, because the bank transfers to the casinos would be blocked.

Hi Daniel,I can only hope that it will not be banned. That would be bad for the players who just can't stop (yet) and prefer to play online. Unlike Chmi77, for example, I don't like going to Spielos or casinos, which usually seem to me like Dante's hell ("Let all hope depart, ye who enter!") .
What would actually become of Gamblejoe in case of illegality of online gambling in Germany? Greetings

germany is not the whole world, since it is allowed in malta among other places we all move to malta

the master painter was also discussed for months in various forums. the only reason was that they couldn't catch him because of other crimes and tried the gambling method, verdict revised, win etc returned
so do not worry, everything that has to do with a lot of money will probably never be banned

Don't be too sure ! Father state has nothing from the online gambling - rather he is interested that you go back to the Spielos and casinos. There is guaranteed income for Big Brother. What stands in the way of a total ban? Nothing! I estimate the chances 50:50.

If it really ends negatively as far as Oc in old Germany is concerned then we'll dutifully hand in our lottery ticket every week and enjoy the saved time we would have otherwise spent in Oc. Then we don't have to be angry about stupid unfair Bonuses anymore ðŸ˜

I am of the opinion that if it will really come to a complete ban, and the banks are ultimately obliged to reject the money ... there will somehow be an alternative to the Deposit & withdrawal - sooner or later ... irrelevant whether Bitcoins or another currency for the state are not to be seen.

The gambling system is now almost everywhere in the world ... it is simply impossible to stop the whole, who is addicted to alcohol will always try everything and find ways to quench his thirst.

And as mentioned above, this is only an issue because the state does not receive any real revenue from all the fun, the people or the problem of gambling addicts is not the issue... otherwise it would make no sense that while all the negotiations for online gambling is taking place, at least 10-50 new gaming arcades are LEGALLY opened in Germany.
