Wasn't the best idea not to report at all because depending on the amount of money involved, an expensive penalty order will certainly come in at some point, with a lot of luck a suspension. This can take up to 2 years.

That's nonsense. If the police don't have any clear evidence, they have to find it. By making statements as the accused, you are certainly not helping yourself.
Apart from that, I am absolutely certain that my case cannot involve large sums of money.

Huhu, unfortunately I don't know.

I think I read that a year always runs until 31.12.
Therefore, I assume that everything after 31.12.2024 would have been time-barred.
Not before that...

But I don't know for sure either.

that would apply in civil law... in criminal law, the statute of limitations begins when the offense is completed.

On 01.12.2021 I submitted several tickets, Lotto Wednesday, Lotto Saturday, El Gordon Christmas Lottery, Eurolotto, Powerball, Keno with 4/5 term.

Small wins every now and then until mid-January 2022.
On the phone, the day of the letter from the police, I phoned the police officer and he said it was about 1000 euros.
Well, the following Monday I contacted the lawyer.

After all the top tickets expired, I have never gambled or spent money on them again.

However, it is still a mystery to me how the banks find out whether you have played at a legal or illegal casino/sports betting Provider?

I think they do a little research and the rest is just on suspicion. I mean, it's only a suspicious activity report. If you were playing legally, you can usually prove it.

At least if you pay out directly from an illegal provider to your bank account, there will be a sender of the money...?
And if it is some parent company, then it is certainly not difficult to see which offers it operates.
