Officially, you only have to provide proof of origin for cash deposits over €10,000, as far as I know.
Of course, the same applies if you repeatedly Deposit €9,000.
But what about bank transfers?
A friend of mine says you don't have to because it's clear where the money comes from anyway.
But apparently they don't know exactly, as my bank recently asked me where the money comes from.
Because that foreign casino apparently uses an intermediary payment provider.
I was honest and just said "betting and stuff", which they were happy with.
But can they press for more information?

I'm not a bank employee, but this proof can only be provided for cash deposits.

Online transfers are not cash deposits, so I would just logically conclude that such proof is not required. I'm only familiar with proof for bank transfers when money is transferred from abroad.


However, if you want to make a transfer over the counter, then it is probably considered a cash deposit and this proof can be provided.

But maybe I'm wrong, so all information is of course without guarantee.
