Of course, we can't all know 100%, but in any case I wanted to try to take a sober look at the matter. Of course, you could be totally wrong with your assessment, because after all, participating in illegal gambling is a criminal offense, and what they can and are allowed to do in the fight against it is usually very elastic.

Either way, I think the whole Schufa construct is important, but still very questionable in terms of how it is implemented. I find the 10,000 queries from Online Casinos even more strange. Something like that shouldn't actually be in the Schufa at all, because creditworthiness and gambling are unfortunately a contradiction in very many cases, apart from occasional gamblers and people with a lot of self-control.



Yes, that's true. I agree with Schufa and other credit agencies. Interwetten, for example, had already stated years ago in their terms and conditions that the data would be transmitted to some credit agencies.

I mean, you send your passport and maybe an invoice. If perhaps one in a thousand players has moved in the meantime without re-registering directly, then that is a justifiable circumstance that does not justify having all players checked once a year by umpteen gambling companies at Schufa...

As for the other thing. If I take a sober look at the matter, not just as far as Schufa is concerned, in a few years' time we'll have threads full of people here who have a complaint on their ass because they perhaps weren't as clever and careful as they thought... 😄

What is it about?
Once a year, usually at the end of the year, I request this free self-disclosure from Schufa. Simply to see who and what has obtained information about my personal income. I'm just interested, there's nothing else to it.
Yesterday, Saturday, I received the envelope in my letterbox.
I had to realize that in the last year 2024 about !!!20!!! Inquiries were made by casinos about liquidity, address reconciliations etc. Two German casinos, 11 Malta casinos, Skrill and other international payment services.
The number makes me wonder. I was also not aware that the German Schufa file can also be accessed from Malta and from abroad in general. I was not aware of this and I have never read this anywhere in the terms and conditions.

I don't want us to misunderstand each other. I am aware that there are no negative entries, but that information was simply obtained. However, these requests for information have an impact on the Schufa score. This score drops simply because gambling services request your data from Schufa. I was also not aware that you are not informed before this data is requested. I find it frightening that this happens behind your back and that you can't defend yourself against it.

I am really angry about this and would therefore like to warn you. Get this free information and take a look, you might be in for a nasty surprise...


Of course, we don't know which casinos from Malta you have in your SCHUFA report and whether they are on the whitelist or not. But as a licensed Provider in Germany, we would like to clarify the following points:



  1. Here at StarGames.de, SCHUFA is listed in the terms and conditions as well as in the privacy policy. If you do not see / find it in the other providers (simply search for it with Ctrl + F in the terms and conditions or in the privacy policy), you can contact these providers.

  2. The information has no influence on the SCHUFA score. This has been officially confirmed to us several times by SCHUFA.

  3. Providers must have the player's identity confirmed at least once a year according to the State Treaty on Gambling. This is why providers check at least once a year, even if you are no longer active there.

Of course, I am aware that GGL-licensed casinos, including those based in Malta, have contact with Schufa. After all, you can also verify yourself with some providers via Schufa.

What annoyed me was that most of them were providers where, as others have already written, I wasn't logged in for ages and didn't have much else to do.
