Legal assessment

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

Sports betting, unlike online casinos, 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 an expert assessment 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. 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.
