Online casinos in Austria
Legal status of digital casinos in Austria: legal, operators require a casino licence, monopoly of Casinos Austria AG
Online casino gambling is legal in Austria.
Both brick and mortar casinos and online platforms need to obtain a casino license. The casino license covers brick & mortar and internet gambling (details of the licensing system and process can be found below, at the licensing section).
There is currently only one licensed casino operator with an Austrian casino licence, that is Casinos Austria International AG, which operates the gambling platform Win2Day.
Casinos Austria International AG has a monopoly on casinos and online casinos. Other companies can not get a casinos licence, at the very least until 2027 (but it will likely be extended).
Win2Day is jointly owned by Casinos Austria AG and Österreichische Lotterien, and even though it offers a wide array of games, including various slots, blackjack, video poker and roulette it is still inferior to international casinos, which have vastly more and superior games and promotions.
Playing in foreign online casinos is also legal, according to EU laws, especially the freedom to provide services, Article 56 of TFEU1.
According to Article 56: if a country does not provide any means for foreign online casinos to acquire local licenses, then they can not punish or block these gambling websites, or players who visit them.
/Comment: And online casino gambling is a monopoly of Casinos Austria, foreign online gambling companies can not acquire online casino licenses./
Players who play in foreign online casinos are not prosecuted or fined.

Land-based casinos in Austria
Legal status of casinos in Austria: legal since 1934, operators require a licence, slot halls are also legal, casinos area monopoly of Casinos Austria AG
Land-based casino gambling is legal since 1934 in Austria, according to the Gambling Law (Glücksspielgesetz)1.
Casino Baden was first casino in Austria, it opened its doors in 1934. And it is in continuous operation ever since (except for a brief hiatus during World War 2).
The Constitution of Austria allows monopolies to be created by the federal legislator. Such a monopoly was created in October 2012 when the Austrian government signed an agreement with Casinos Austria International AG (owned by Sazka Group and Osterreichische Beteiligungs AG), that gave the company exclusive rights to brick and mortar casinos for 15 years (expires in 2027, but it will likely be extended).
Founded in 1934, Österreichische Casino AG has since expanded to more than 15 countries. At the moment, they operate 12 casinos in the country, and around 40 more internationally (and hundreds of slot halls).
Austrian casinos also benefit from the high number of tourists vesting the country, namely, 41 million visitors every year2. Most casinos are attached to a hotel as well, perfectly positioned to take advantage of this.
Casinos are overseen by the Austrian Tax Authority (a subdivision of the Ministry of Finance). Companies that wish to operate casinos within the borders of Austria must obtain a casino licence, except if it’s so called “small gambling” (kleines Glücksspiel).
Slot halls are also legal (there are hundreds of them, they do not fall under the monopoly). They do not require a casino license, instead they operate according to the regional small gambling regulations of the 9 federated states.
/Small gambling: It is under the jurisdiction of individual federated states, which means that regulations vary within Austria.
Regulations also determine the maximum amount of gambling facilities, usually the number of licenses cannot exceed the following ratio: one gaming venue for every 1200 residents (and one per 600 residents in Vienna, because of the tourists).
Small gambling has strict rules in general:
- a slot hall can usually only have 50 slot or video poker machines at most
- The max bet per spin is usually €10 (and if a place only has a few machines (what is considered a few is different state by state), then it’s max €1 per spin instead)
- players are allowed to play for a maximum of three hours
- games must automatically shut off after two hours of uninterrupted play
The following 4 regions of Austria banned small scale gambling entirely: Vorarlberg, Salzburg, Tyrol, Vienna./
Austrian casinos are generally quite elegant – some might say luxurious, posh – establishments, often enforcing dress codes and some even have entrance fees.
Some of the casinos, e.g.: Casino Wien, offer jackets for hire to tourists who are are dressed too leisurely.
All of the Austrian casinos are small or below average in size, by international standards.
You can find all the currently operating brick and mortar casinos in the list below.
Can locals visit the casinos in Austria?
Yes, both locals and tourists can play in the casinos.

Crypto, bitcoin casinos in Austria
Legal status: not specifically regulated
Bitcoin gambling in Austria is not specifically regulated, the general online gambling laws apply to it.
Which means, Austrian players can freely access bitcoin casinos from all around the world.
Cryptocurrencies are currently neither treated as financial instruments nor as currency. Instead, bitcoin (and other alternative digital currencies, e.g.: litecoin or ethereum) are treated as commodities.
And because of this, none of the land-based casinos in the country accept cryptocurrencies.
Other forms of online gambling in Austria
Online games other than casino gambling are generally legal and are a monopoly of either the Österreichische Lotterien or Casinos Austria AG. The main online gambling site of Austria is Win2Day (a join venture between the Austrian lottery and the Austrian Casinos group).
Apart from online casino games, Win2Day offers online bingo, various online lotteries, online poker (live poker, but interestingly no video poker).
Apart from the locally licensed online gambling companies and sites, Austrian gamblers may also play on international gambling sites. Most of these welcome players from Austria, and many of them are available in German as well.
Sports betting is also legal in the country and the biggest bookmaker is Admiral Sportwetten (part of Novomatic), which has an online platform as well.
The following online gambling websites accept players from Austria:
Free bitcoin giveaway
Free bitcoin giveaway, $0.1 to $ 200 every hour, real no deposit promotion, no wagering requirement bitcoin gambling and betting
One of the rare, genuine ways to actually get free bitcoins online. 100% legitimate, in operation for 10+ years, no deposit or registration required (we are using this site for 1+ years, payout guaranteed, not a scam).
You have to manually enter the bitcoin raffle every hour and you will be able to win anywhere between 0.00000009 BTC - 0.00878696 BTC + occasional special prizes.
You can realistically make around €200 per month if you roll every hour and participate in all the other promotions they have as well (wheel of fortune, lottery tickets etc..., all free).
/However, you have to manually spin every hour to get this amount, including at night, therefore, realistically, the amount you can expect will be less./
They also have many other ways to win bitcoin, or FUN tokens, including: online casino section, sports betting, betting on cryptocurrency prices, wheel of fortune, lottery etc...
No wagering, playthrough requirement, limitations.
Playthrough requirements, wagering limitations, terms and conditions and list of restricted countries
Because this is a crypto-only gambling website there are no restricted countries. Everyone over the age of 18 can play (or 24, depending on what is the legal online gambling age in your country).
Only bitcoin and FUN tokens are accepted. You have to deposit bitcoin to a specific bitcoin address and it will show up on your balance.
No wagering and playthrough limitations, requirements.
The only hidden fee is that if you win items, physical prizes, in those cases the shipping cost is not paid by them and you will required to pay for shipping (or you can opt to receive the equivalent of the prize in bitcoins if you don't want to pay for transportation).
UPDATE 2023: They also offer an annual 4- 5% interest rate on the FunFair (FUN) tokens you purchase with bitcoin (it's their own cryptocurrency).

 That's me, Simon, thank you for visiting. I'm an independent gambling blogger since 2012. In this sector dominated by huge media companies, casino operators and online marketing networks, who can easily spend $ millions on their online gambling blogs, it's not easy for an independent nobody like me to survive. It took me about 6 years, working my ass off, to even have a chance to be noticed by visitors like you. I'm lucky enough that for a few years now, I make enough money to be able to do this full time (before that, I had part-time jobs, ghost writing gigs, online marketing this and that). Now I can finally do this full time, thanks to visitors like you! And it means a lot! If you are interested, please bookmark this site (no social media profiles, I no longer have any, but please feel free to share anything on any social media networks, if you still use them). I don't have any money to advertise, and if you have a personal blog, any social media profile, please mention my gambling blog and link back to it. This the only way for a small website like this to grow. Thank you! |
 Kiva helps young entrepreneurs in developing countries, which is an issue close to my heart for obvious reasons. If you have the means, please sign up with the revolutionary non-profit company Kiva.org and help people lift themselves out of poverty, through hard-work, and an initial investment (non-profit loan). These non-profit loans encourage entrepreneurship and hard work instead of creating a dependent class that is afraid to get a job, or start a business (because if they did, they would no longer get support and free money, disincentivizing hard work and entrepreneurship). This is the right way to fight poverty in developing countries (or anywhere else really), and if this is something you are interested in, and if you would like to know more, or to help out, please check out Kiva.org here. Thank you! By being on this site, you agree to terms and conditions, and privacy policy. You must be at least 18, and if you are a gambling addict, or a citizen of Hungary, please leave the site. |
