What about A.C.R.? Does it fall in the '6months jail' category?
Has anyone ever actually been incarcerated for 6months for playing online poker in Germany on a site that isn't on the White List? Has any micro player been locked up for trying to win a few pennies online? Has any freeroller had their freedom taken?
Yes, ACR/Coinpoker is not on the whitelist.
Also, ACR does geo-blocking, so without VPN you even can’t register there from Germany.
So do most "bigger"
poker sites that are not on the German whitelist, e.g. IPoker network.
When you verify your account (you have to) you must have dual citizenship with a foreign (non-German) passport with non-German place of residence.
I don't know if someone has been arrested, and it doesn’t matter to me.
Court justice will tend to make it a suspended sentence, but it is listed as previous conviction in your criminal record certificate (all prison sentences above 3 months go into this record).
Risk such penalty for pennies?
Maybe you want/need a job at an airport, you won't get it with such an entry.
The effort and the return are completely disproportionate.
