Hello folks?
Please imagine the following situation.
You are a slot player with a German residence or registered in Germany.
You won €74,000 in one night on a Yggdrasil slot, you can't really believe your luck, the casino where you won is a well-known, reputable online casino with an EU license, but not on the German whitelist after 2022 reformed gambling law.
I have no idea whether it is now legitimate to cash out such a high win.
What can you say about that?
If such a sum is reported to any authorities as money received in a German account, will one be prosecuted?
Do you have a right to this prize?
What can happen to someone?
Or nothing can happen at all because the casino has an EU license.
The friend whose winnings are in question is German, has been playing in this casino for about 2 years, and has clearly received the promise from the casino that this winnings can be paid out immediately. Now he has considerable fears that he will run into problems with his bank, with reporting obligations, violations of the law, etc., that his money will be confiscated and, last but not least, that he will face criminal charges.
Does anyone know, can anyone tell me anything about it?
Thank you very much in advance
