This article addresses gambling criminal law, in particular illegal gambling under Sections 284 et seq. of the German Criminal Code (StGB). The focus is on typical offenses and investigative measures such as searches and seizures, as well as the potential consequences for operators, intermediaries, and other parties involved. Those affected should exercise their right to remain silent and consult a criminal defense attorney as early as possible. After reviewing the case file, the attorney will examine, in particular, the licensing requirements, the specific involvement, the level of suspicion, and the legality of the evidence gathering. An investigation can be discontinued if there is insufficient suspicion of a crime.
