Hello dear Gamblejoe community,

I had made transactions in casinos with this bank account this year and last year.

Last year a consultant asked me to talk.
They wanted to know where the (higher) transactions were coming from.
I had always deposited around 50€ - 300€ and had a few larger (9k, 6k, 5k) and smaller withdrawals.
I submitted a few proofs from two casinos (withdrawal confirmation by mail), which were then forwarded by the consultant to the specialist department. Afterwards I was told that the proofs were sufficient.

So far so good.

I had larger wins paid out in cash every now and then, so that the temptation was not too high and I had to Deposit the money in cash again at the machine before I could gamble.
That happened, of course

A month ago I got a call from a (new) consultant who wanted to know where the high cash deposits were coming from.
I told him that they came from higher cash withdrawals.
The fact that I played in casinos was brought up by him, so far it was okay for him.
He told me that I should refrain from making cash deposits, otherwise my account would be terminated.
Since then, I had hardly used my account at all and had not made any cash deposits.

And now the letter...

What is the best thing for me to do? Should I call and ask? Can I expect to be reported to the police or worse?
I am not laundering any money or involved in any other criminal activity. I have simply played online casino.

Please help
Thanks!

Hi Nobonususer

It is an ordinary termination with a period of notice. So a general Vetragskündigung that you do not have to justify because of the freedom of contract.
That is a good sign !
In your place, I would no longer ask and simply look for a new bank. Even if your cash deposits are absolutely legitimate, you should not do that anymore because you are unfortunately suspected by ever stricter laws across the board.
Indications are made rather with disorderly so Kündiguen without notice there is then often also a reason given or the customer receives a reason on demand.

How high were approximately your monthly deposits and withdrawals in the total amount?

With me it was also once so and then after a few months came the tax investigation and wanted to have evidence of everything, especially about the cash deposits, I think they make a report on suspicion of money laundering and then terminate the account all further investigations now takes over the prosecutor and decide what happens next.

My account was also terminated with a notice period of 3 months at that time, which has nothing to mean. If you catch the wrong advisor sets all the levers in motion just with deposits of cash which indicates that you may sell drugs or so and you have a house search faster than you like.

Yes, this is how the traditional local savings banks are doing away with themselves!
They don't need to be surprised that there are no more customers when the pensioners with their full accounts pass away.

What post 7 and 8 write is correct, as all payment providers are by law the
Aids of the state and in matters of money laundering and payments to and from illegal
Casinos are reportable. Since helps only a primary account in D, where the usual runs over it
and for games a bank account without a German license, where you separate funds for your hobby only
Hobby and run over it. Incidentally, Germany has since summer
2020 MasterCard and Visa banned for gambling. Applies only to Germany and
Gambling. The UK doesn't like the cards either and are banned there as well.
