Have you played at online casinos based in Malta, Curaçao, or Cyprus?
Have you lost large sums of money at bwin, bet365, Mr Green, or other foreign providers?
Did you know that these providers operate illegally in Austria?
Then you may be entitled to reclaim your gambling losses!
Reclaiming gambling losses from illegal online casinos
Austrian gambling law is clear: only licensed providers may legally offer gambling services. In Austria, Casinos Austria AG holds a monopoly on gambling, including online casino services. However, many foreign online casinos operate without an Austrian license and are therefore illegal.
Your rights as a player
Have you played at an online casino based in Malta, Curaçao, Cyprus, or other foreign locations?
Then you may be entitled to reclaim your losses. Contracts with illegal providers are void (§ 879 ABGB) – this means that no valid obligations arise and you can reclaim your lost money.
Successful refunds are possible
Austrian case law increasingly confirms players’ claims for refunds. Numerous judgments have already ordered illegal online casinos to refund gambling losses. Those affected have often been able to successfully reclaim several thousand euros.
