Vegas Now

What we know about Vegas Now

According to our research, the contracting party of Vegas Now is Just Entertainment B.V., based in Curacao. The platform holds a licence from the Curacao Gaming Control Board (OGL/2024/164/0246).

Legal classification

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

The crypto division of Vegas Now 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 line of the OGH and therefore requires a licence. Providers without an Austrian licence breach the Gambling Act, the contracts are void, and stakes can be reclaimed.

Sports betting is generally legal in Austria, unlike online casinos. A reclaim can be considered through partial legal incapacity under Section 865 Austrian Civil Code. The pathological gambling addiction during the loss period is established by an expert opinion in the proceedings, and we organise the specialist medical report together after you instruct us. 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.
