What we know about Lukki Casino

According to our research, the contracting party of Lukki Casino is Dama N.V., based in Curacao. The platform holds a licence from Curacao (no. OGL/2023/174/0082).

Legal assessment

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

The crypto division of Lukki Casino falls under the same legal framework, and stakes from wallet transactions are reconstructed.

According to the line of the OGH, online poker is also subject to the Austrian gambling monopoly and therefore requires a licence. Providers without an Austrian licence breach the Gambling Act, contracts are void, and stakes are reclaimable.

Unlike online casinos, sports betting is generally legal in Austria. 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 expert opinion in the proceedings, and we organise the specialist medical report together after instruction. A claim is generally economically viable from around 50,000 euros of loss per provider.

The litigation route 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 cafés with cash on site are a different constellation.
