Legal assessment

Online casino offers directed 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.

The crypto segment of Rocketplay 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 and therefore requires a licence. Providers without an Austrian licence breach the Gambling Act, contracts are void, and stakes are reclaimable.

Sports betting, unlike online casinos, is generally legal in Austria. A reclaim may be considered via 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 betting providers licensed in Austria can be sued, as long as the betting relationship arose online. Betting cafes with cash on site are a different constellation.
