What we know about Platincasino

According to our research, the contracting party of Platincasino is Red Rhino Limited (reg. no. C67666), based in Malta. The platform holds a licence from Malta (no. MGA/B2C/398/2017).

Legal assessment

Online casino offers 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 segment of Platincasino falls under the same legal framework, with stakes from wallet transactions being reconstructed.

Online poker too is subject to the Austrian gambling monopoly according to the OGH line 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 is 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. As a rule, a claim is economically viable from around 50,000 euros in losses 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 cafes with cash on site are a different constellation.
