Legal classification
Online casino offerings aimed at Austrian players require a licence in Austria. Without this licence under the Gambling Act, the underlying contract is void. Under the established line of the Austrian Supreme Court (OGH), losses can be reclaimed retroactively for up to thirty years.
Sports betting in Austria, unlike online casinos, is generally legal. A reclaim may be possible through partial legal incapacity under Section 865 Austrian Civil Code. The pathological gambling addiction during the loss period is established by an expert opinion in the proceedings, and we organise the medical report together after instruction. A claim is generally economically viable from around 50,000 euros in losses per provider.
The legal route applies regardless of where the betting provider is based. Online betting providers licensed in Austria can also be sued, as long as the betting relationship arose online. Betting cafés with cash on site are a different constellation.
