CJEU says players may generally rely on home-country law in gambling claims
The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled that players bringing claims over online games of chance may generally rely on the law of their country of residence. The case concerns an Austrian player seeking to recover €18,547.67 from Titanium Brace Ltd over losses incurred on DrückGlück between 2019 and 2020. The Austrian court must decide the dispute; the CJEU said it had not ruled on the individual claim.
The ruling may affect how courts assess claims against gambling companies licensed in another country.
