Austria ministry prepares gambling reform proposals as monopoly licence nears expiry
Austria’s Finance Ministry is expected to release gambling reform proposals after months of delay, while the existing single online gaming licence is due to expire in 2027. The report says a new gambling bill could be drafted in February or March, with regulations potentially taking effect by summer; the timing and details remain proposals.
The reform process could shape the licensing framework before Austria’s sole online gaming permit expires in 2027.
