On 04.12.2022 I played on Pokerstars. 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
as far as I know Stars has the German license, don't think it was because of that?

it is generally not advisable to make statements to the police...
The perverse thing in this banana republic is that, in addition to their losses with the providers, the players are now being ripped off by the state with fines, while the same providers are earning themselves silly with the support of an authority and criminal payout ratios.
Great cooperation between the judiciary, banks, politicians and providers.
Long live corruption.

Have a read through this thread. You'll find what you're looking for. You will find some advice and experiences there. This topic has been discussed here very often and has already affected several people here.
You should be able to find answers to any questions you may have.
I also had a letter like that.
100 win from a savings bank.
I sent the letter back with my personal details. And stated that I couldn't or didn't want to give any details.
It was stopped.
1. Yes, the police called.
2. You can state that you don't want to say anything.
3. It always depends on the public prosecutor's office whether you get a fine or not. Also depending on how much it is.
4. Good luck if you are in such a situation.

I know it too and was very surprised, but at that time it was called Pokerstars.eu and not Pokerstars.de

Yes, I was also called and asked if I wanted to make a statement.
Now I have to wait and see what comes from the public prosecutor's office.
