Anonymous wrote on 08.03.2024 at 12:48: Hi Solos! A question for you... in your letter they talk about 2021... your bank terminated you in mid 2022 and only now a letter comes ? The question I ask myself - have you continued to gamble since then, from your other bank until today and at unlicensed casinos? Were you gambling with very large sums of money?
i ask myself 2 questions..., 1. if this really came from Commerzbank back then, why is this letter only now reaching you? And secondly, if it's not from Commerzbank but from your current bank, how do they know that you've been doing this since 2021? Again, they would have to
have obtained information from Commerzbank?

I'm surprised too, they say "since 2021".

Yes, I have continued to play, but I have not been active as a player since November.


My current bank hasn't made any moves yet.

I can't quite explain that either.

I would also wait and see, as it is not unlikely that the proceedings will be dropped with a warning or the offer of a fine, but it is still advisable to look around online for good law firms, preferably in your area (reviews from other clients etc...) so that you can contact someone straight away if the public prosecutor unexpectedly turns the case into a thriller. Good luck to you.

There are no law firms near me that specialize in this. I will probably resort to an online lawyer and tackle the issue on Monday. I can't reach anyone today.

The inspection of the file will only show transactions and casinos anyway. I wouldn't actually say anything unless you have the money left over for a lawyer. In the end, nothing will probably come of it. Still a shitty feeling 🥴

Normally you would have to sue the banks because they allowed you to Deposit money in casinos

Yes, he gives the impression that he likes doing it. It's just part of the "hobby". If he didn't enjoy it, he wouldn't do it so intensively.

He has also denounced people who have blocked sidewalks. Pedestrians are being put in danger here.

Of course there are also reckless cyclists, I know that. I like watching the dashcam videos^^ They don't just show car drivers, but be honest... you can't compare it to that. The number alone is much greater.

I understand that because I believe that an offense is an offense. It's the same with speed cameras. You only drive 3-4 km/h too fast and bam, you have to pay 20-30€. I could understand 10+ km/h, but 3-4? But that's the way it is. If you can drive a maximum of 50 km/h and you are driving 53 km/h with a deduction tolerance, then you have violated the StVO - quite simply.

Let's move the fun to the chatting corner, can also contribute something funny while we're on the subject of StVO

If only the offense was mentioned in the letter from the public prosecutor's office, but you were not summoned there in the letter, I would not look for a lawyer if I were you and keep my feet still for the time being.

I think! that these ads mainly come after reports from banks and probably mainly house banks etc.


Theoretically, wallets could also report something like this, but the operators are usually not based in Germany and probably have little interest in it, as they also earn money from the transactions and knowingly offer them. They themselves know that these are basically illegal. Psc, for example, can no longer be used in casinos without a license or has at least withdrawn from some of them.

I would rule out the possibility that players or their PCs or cell phones or IP addresses are directly "monitored".

But that's just my assessment, I can't tell you exactly. In any case, it's no longer worth it to me and since then I've been concentrating on sports betting and the occasional 10 in DE casinos.

Ok ...great thanks for the answer

The state needs money. They are currently taking it wherever they can get it. The big chunks are apparently too difficult for the justice system in Germany. So skim where you can

Please no more off-topic in this thread about the ad master - I never thought I'd write something like that

This is supposed to be about the case of Solos and maybe other readers are in a similar situation.

I've just been to the lawyer. He's going to ask to see the files and then we'll see what happens.

Basically, he said I shouldn't worry. I haven't harmed anyone else, just myself.
