Cchris1599 wrote on 14.09.2023 at 14:04: All right, thanks for the answer. That calms me down a bit for now. I have won a five-digit amount with a licensed Provider a few weeks ago and do not dare to withdraw this amount to the bank account because of the reasons already mentioned in the thread. But licensed I should not really worry or?

Have I understood this correctly, if a suspicion quasi exists, the bank notifies the police and they in turn report then ? Because otherwise they do not get such information.

In addition, I wonder what the bank is thinking, if you regularly Deposit over a long period of three-digit amounts at licensed betting providers? Had already considered a conversation with my bank advisor to organize and him about it to clarify, not that it comes at some point to discrepancies.
Thanks!

Criminal law, of course, you do not have to worry about a licensed provider that is I think logical. Unfortunately, many banks do not like gambling customers. Here everything can run completely smoothly, which it probably does, but ultimately you never know whether the bank likes it in the long run or not. Would personally therefore make me rather a SkrillWallet speak Skrill with corresponding skrill card (believe the one-time costs 10 euros and then with withdrawals quite humane fees you can but then of course read up). Then you pay there from your account and then pay in the casino from the skrill wallet so you avoid unnecessary bookings on your account. Likewise, you can also get with the card as good as everywhere where Visa MasterCard I think is accepted your money from the wallet without even contact with your account takes place during withdrawals. Is just my thought after what I have heard here everything.


With the bank advisor I would in any case actively seek the conversation so after the motto do not wake sleeping dogs. If they want something, they will contact you anyway.

On the subject of whether the bank reports unlicensed providers... As a rule, yes, so if you notice it, you are obliged to... That can go so far that you only reject the money that comes from the unlicensed casino or even it is after receipt at some point and you notice for tax purposes - money laundering, etc. the report to the police or prosecutor's office because they themselves Risk very very high penalties if they process these payments. But as I said, this is only about the fact that it comes from the unlicensed casino directly... I personally know of no case where it came through the interposition of a wallet to such a problem.

Just withdraw the amount to your account and go to the bank with a receipt and show them everything then they know it was a licensed provider and everything is good

This has less to do with the taxes, but with the suspicion of money laundering, because the casinos have their headquarters idR abroad and the money movements could therefore arouse / harden this suspicion... and with it banks do not want to be associated.

Wins are usually tax free with licensed providers because they already make a levy on the VAT Act. (Gambling tax, etc.) but I meant the case when it comes from unlicensed sources or even extremely high and frequent wins through a wallet or other land on the account that there the bank would probably look a little more closely as to the source of the money.

I know, I got the idea because they are "personal accounts" and the bank "actually" only "manages" the account for person X which would mean that the bank would enable tax evasion; ok understood - the same then applies to the laundry...


Thanks

Thx @eloquente, I did not know that

i received mail from the public prosecutor's office today.
The proceedings were discontinued!
However, the finger was raised in the letter.
In the event of a repetition, the proceedings would no longer be discontinued, but would be prosecuted.

I've been completely free of gambling since October last year and I can tell you that after this whole experience, I'm definitely not going to play anywhere again 😉 You don't need a therapist for that either 😅

Hey, could I ask you a question in private?

Best regards
BTW. the same thing happened to me

it's a tragedy that the public prosecutor's office (tax office) is lying in wait for the little players in order to take a few hundred euros.
wrong parking 30 euros please

whole states can be sanctioned to exert pressure, but in Malta or all the other small kingdoms they prefer to go after the good citizen and create a new source of money for the state budget. Deterrence looks different.

Hello everyone, I received a letter from the police yesterday. I am accused of participating in illegal gambling 285.
I played on Pokerstars on 04.12.2022. There is no information about the amount of money in the mail. Idon't remember the exact amount of money, but it was around 100-200 euros. Unfortunately, I can't look for it because Deutsche Bank has already terminated the contract with me. I don't know what to do next, Ihave to fill in the attached document and send it to the police within 2 weeks. What can I do and should I be worried about this? Give me some advice please
