As I said, things have only been going on for a few months for me and there have been no negotiations yet and I had also written off the money according to the law in Malta. That's why I was surprised why an offer came now even though 4 weeks ago the stars' lawyers said they would defend themselves against the lawsuit but still need time to evaluate everything.
I don't know how it started for you back then, or whether you were offered a small, ridiculous sum.
What exactly did Stars' lawyers write? That would be interesting. Lg
edit: I don't know, can I publish this here even if the trial is still ongoing?
Ok, that sounds interesting. Sounds to me that they would be willing to pay.
It will only be a matter of time.
what do you mean? why should they be willing to pay when they are protected BY LAW?
It's about 20k and Stars has offered almost 5k. We have now rejected it and will see what happens before the deadline in November.
@justus: Well, it still violates EU law, right?
As I said, we won't be satisfied with 25%. I would certainly agree to an out-of-court settlement, but then the sum would have to be at least 90%.
Well, why should they submit offers now? Or drag out negotiations? That won't work. Sooner or later you have to pay. The law is not applicable.
I would never compare! They have to pay everything, including interest
I'll definitely report back if anything new comes up. Otherwise, Stars has until mid-November to file a response.
But I would recommend that you reject these measly comparison offers if you get them. My lawyer agrees too.
I won't agree to any comparison either, I see the same thing as you.
I also don't think Stars is ruined because of our few million demands. They could easily pay for that and I think that will happen. And then Stars will continue as normal with a license in Germany.
But the prerequisite would be that something happens at Eugh and pressure is built up.
At some point you won't be able to sue directly before the ECJ or how does that work? I'm not that familiar with such things.
edit: I'll be talking to my lawyer again this week on the phone to see if it makes sense to offer a counteroffer at 90% plus interest or not. I didn't have time to contact you yet, I received an email on Friday.
Yes, I would try. Which lawyer do you have? Or do you have a litigation funder? Advofin?
Hello fellow sufferers 😉
I am in the same situation as you and would like to take the opportunity to exchange ideas with you a little.
Last year in August I looked for a Pf and a lawsuit was filed against Lottoland and Mr Green. I wouldn't be offered a settlement, but I understood that pretty quickly after a judge casually said during the trial that she wasn't surprised because the "magic limit of €30,000" had been exceeded. Apparently a comparison is offered for amounts that are lower.
I received the ruling from the Supreme Court regarding Mr Green in June and it is therefore legally binding. Unfortunately, this coincided exactly with the legal change in Malta and I have the feeling that the PF has been sitting on its hands ever since and waiting for the EU Commission to do something. What are your experiences? Is your PF still actively doing something? Do you have any tips as to whether I can do something?
I'm still waiting for the Supreme Court's decision regarding Lottoland. Do you have any experience with Lottoland?
I would be happy to receive your feedback
Hi
Mr.g: coming to the hearing now
Lottol: after payment order no egg verdict, not paid so it now execution.
Everything has been running since around March
Gladly ! And since when are you just waiting for the execution? Is there a direct PM messaging function too?
Sorry to step in, but I just aim to answer your question regarding PM or DM - this forum does not support any kind of private message. We aim to allow open discussion. Please exchange emails if you like. 🙏
Since June
Hello, I've been a silent reader so far.
I have a question about what things actually look like at a sports betting provider that has had a German license since 2020. Could you execute him in Germany if you have a legally binding judgment? Or would one have to execute in Malta?
Yes, that's just the question. For certain providers it will certainly work through Germany, at least for those who are currently operating legally there.
Yes, I think so, too. There is still no decision from the Federal Court of Justice in the online sports betting case. However, proceedings are pending at the Federal Court of Justice. I don't understand why providers don't appeal and revise. Almost everything has already been decided by the courts that the players are in the right (in Germany)
Haven't you asked your lawyer yet? What does he say about this?
