Ron Bielecki, a 24-year-old Youtuber and influencer, was sentenced to a fine totaling 480,000 euros by a Berlin court. The penalty order was issued because Bielecki is alleged to have been involved in illegal gambling in online casinos in 51 cases. This is a considerable sum for the young influencer, who is primarily known for entertainment and lifestyle content on the Internet. On Twitch, 123,000 users follow him.

Shock for fans

The fine comes as a shock to many of his fans, who have watched him grow from an unknown YouTuber to one of the most popular influencers on the Internet. He was even a brand ambassador for the Venus erotic trade show in 2022, and it remains to be seen how this hefty fine will affect his career and reputation in the future. Regardless, it serves as an important reminder that illegal activities like gambling can have serious consequences if caught.

Facts of the case: advertising gambling

It was reported that the influencer allegedly advertised illegal gambling at an online casino on his channels in 37 instances. “Wirtschaftswoche” reported that the casino had not obtained a license for gambling in Germany, which resulted in a fine that is not yet legally binding. According to “Wirtschaftswoche” (www.wirtschaftswoche.de), Bielecki has appealed the penalty order.

This is not the first time that Bielecki has come under fire for his involvement in illegal gambling. He has already been accused of promoting online casinos that are not licensed in Germany and encouraging viewers to participate in such activities.

Bielecki has denied any wrongdoing, claiming that he was unaware of the legal consequences of his actions. He has also stated that he did not know that the casino he was promoting was not licensed in Germany.
