Spielerhilfe seeks Austrian state compensation over alleged illegal gambling oversight
Austrian association Spielerhilfe said it had filed a criminal complaint with the Economic and Corruption Prosecutor's Office over suspected abuse of office and sought compensation from the state prosecutor's office in an individual case. It argues that authorities did too little to act against illegal online gambling platforms; Christoph Holubar claims losses of about €30,000 across three platforms.
The claim could put the state's oversight of illegal online gambling platforms under legal scrutiny.
