Losses are generally considered to be deposits minus withdrawals. Wagered winnings that were reinvested and subsequently lost are excluded from the calculation. You are clearly affected if:

1. At the time of placing bets, you were not aware of the illegality of online casinos.
2. You can prove and quantify your losses.
3. At the time of placing bets, you were neither a resident of Schleswig-Holstein nor had your habitual residence there. According to the opinion of our partner lawyers, claims for losses from illegal online casinos can be made retroactively for up to 10 years. Our partner lawyers have already claimed losses amounting to several million euros and have successfully recovered significant sums.

The operation and mediation of online casinos were, with few exceptions, prohibited in Germany according to § 4 Para. 4 GlüStV 2012 until June 30, 2021. Since July 1, 2021, this is only permitted with a national license. Online casinos that were or are offered without a national license – usually by online casino providers from Malta, Gibraltar, Cyprus, or Curacao – up until June 30, 2021, or thereafter, are illegal. Very few people in Germany were or are aware of this. Any losses incurred as a result can therefore be reclaimed. Our partner lawyers have many years of experience, excellent expertise, and have already achieved numerous successes in various German courts.

You will incur no costs and will not bear any financial risk for the legal process. Only in the event of success will the litigation funder, for covering the entire cost risk (court fees and their own legal fees, as well as the costs of the opposing side), receive a percentage share of the awarded sum. There are two possible situations:

1. Our partner lawyers are successful out of court (i.e., without filing a lawsuit) – in this case, a success fee of 39% will be due.
2. Our partner lawyers are forced to file a lawsuit and are successful in court – in this case, a success-based flat fee of up to 45% will be due. If, contrary to expectations, our partner lawyers are unsuccessful, the litigation funder will bear the entire costs – so you have no cost risk!

Legal disputes related to gambling are generally excluded from insurance coverage, so you either have the option to bear the court costs yourself or use the services of our litigation funder.

To evaluate and quantify your case, all deposit and withdrawal transactions, as well as any communication and chat logs, are needed. You can easily download/export these from your account with the respective gaming provider with a click – in particular, we need game overviews and transaction lists. If you encounter any difficulties, we are happy to assist with any questions!

Yes, you can – in this case, you can request the transaction lists from the online casino providers by referring to Art. 15 GDPR from the respective provider through their site’s support. The providers are obliged to provide all historical data to the respective user within 30 days, even after the account has been closed.
