Maltese court blocks Austrian players’ claims against Malta-based casinos
A court in Valletta ruled that Austrian players cannot enforce claims for gambling losses against Malta-based operators, according to the report. The ruling relies on Bill 55, which prevents recognition of certain foreign judgments against Maltese gambling companies; Austria’s Supreme Court ruled in May 2025 that such claims can be brought against the operators.
Malta-based operators may resist Austrian loss-recovery claims there, but the report notes Austria’s Supreme Court allowed such claims.
