Please give a clear answer, yes or no.
Can you be prosecuted for cashing out online casino wins.

This crappy legislation is on purpose to scare people.

First of all, in Germany it is definitely FORBIDDEN by law (unless you have a residence in Schleswig Holstein)

If you do not use an e-wallet, then problems with very high payouts are not excluded and sometimes you will be questioned about money laundering. In the bad case, the account is frozen, canceled and in the worst case you have to go to court to refer to EU law. But it is not clear that you will win, even if several are of the opinion that the probability of success is high.

So the situation is shitty, but the law says very clearly that it is forbidden. However, the common practice so far has been that it is simply tolerated and not pursued further. But lately the issue has been more often in focus, especially chargebacks wg. illegal gambling have contributed their part. There are several possibilities how it now continues to run, either it happens something that advances the legalization or one continues to rely on prohibitions and makes it difficult to pay in and out with all means.

Only the legislation and those responsible can give a clear answer.
But they do not. They move in a legal gray area to EU-
Laws and can not prohibit it, because then would also German
Casinos disappear. But you don't slaughter the cow you want to milk.
Germany simply has to catch up with EU laws. Otherwise, I agree
i agree with the comments of 'Kleinkariert'.

It's like with streaming services that offer their service for free (but I don't name any sites) yes they are banned but no one cares if someone uses them or not. It is virtually forbidden and tolerated at the same time and therefore the sense of a ban is nonsense

The problem is also that the gambling houses are only allowed to set up machines where the money must first be booked that it is displayed in points and these devices all have to make breaks after a certain time. I just imagine, the state would allow online gambling in the casino and the arcades must adhere to these strict requirements. Then the gambling house owners would all file a lawsuit before the Federal Constitutional Court? Could also be a reason why one brings in Germany no agreement and it will probably ultimately always remain a gray area.

It has long been very clear that the guidelines for casinos do not have the purpose of protecting players. Gaming houses do not have these rules, I wonder how one would like to argue that at all meaningfully. Because even if gambling houses <jeder Ecke>are</jeder> on, <jeder Ecke>these requirements are more than disproportionate.

And that also still the wrong conversion is tolerated over several guidelines adjustments is also again terrific. They actually get excited about the fact that you do not follow their rules, once seriously look into the camera and then the topic is forgotten until next year fortunately again.</jeder>

Clearly illegal !


Schleswig-Holstein is the only federal state that allows Online Casinos, in all others this form of gambling is illegal.

Why only Schleswig-Holstein? I don't get it.
