What we know about TonyBet

According to our research, the contracting party of TonyBet is TonyBet OÜ (Reg. no. 12103082), based at Punane tn 14a-4. korrus 419/4, 13619 Tallinn, Estonia. The platform holds a licence from the Estonian Tax and Customs Board (4 active licences (Estonia)).

Legal classification

Online casino offers that target Austrian players require a licence in Austria. Without this licence under the Gambling Act, the underlying contract is void. According to established OGH case law, losses can be reclaimed retroactively for up to thirty years.

The crypto business of TonyBet falls under the same legal framework, and stakes from wallet transactions are reconstructed.

According to 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 can be reclaimed.

Sports betting in Austria, unlike online casinos, is generally legal. 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 you instruct us. As a rule, a claim becomes economically viable from around 50,000 euros in losses per provider.

The route to a claim 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.
