Austria proposes multi-operator online casino licensing system
A leaked draft from Austria’s Finance Ministry proposes replacing the online casino monopoly with a multi-operator licensing system. The draft suggests weekly deposit limits of €250 for players under 26 and €1,680 for older users, alongside a €2 cap per spin or round. The existing monopoly licence runs until 2027; the report says a multi-licensed market may not be operational until around 2030.
Operators considering Austria would face proposed financial barriers and strict player-spending and gameplay limits.
