What we know about BitCasino.io

According to our research, the contracting party of BitCasino.io is Moon Technologies B.V., based in Willemstad, Curaçao. The platform holds a licence from the Curaçao Gaming Authority (OGL/2023/111/0069).

Legal assessment

Online casino offerings aimed at players in Austria require a licence in Austria. Without this licence under the Gambling Act, the underlying contract is void. Under settled case law of the Austrian Supreme Court (OGH), losses can be reclaimed retroactively for up to thirty years.

The crypto area of BitCasino.io falls under the same legal framework, and stakes from wallet transactions are reconstructed.

Online poker is also subject to the Austrian gambling monopoly under the OGH line of case law and therefore requires a licence. Providers without an Austrian licence breach the Gambling Act, contracts are void, and stakes can be reclaimed.

Sports betting, unlike online casinos, is generally legal in Austria. A reclaim can be considered through partial legal incapacity under Section 865 Austrian Civil Code. The pathological gambling addiction during the loss period is established by expert opinion in the proceedings, and we organise the medical report together after instruction. As a rule, a claim is economically viable from around 50,000 euros in losses per provider.

The route to court applies regardless of where the betting provider is based. Even Austrian-licensed online betting providers can be sued, as long as the betting relationship arose online. Betting cafes with cash on the premises are a different constellation.
