Casinos in Austria: 2026 guide
None of the operators listed below holds a licence of this country — all of them work under foreign licences.
Austria maintains a monopoly model: the right to offer online casinos and lotteries is reserved for the concessionaire Casinos Austria and its subsidiary Österreichische Lotterien, operating under the win2day brand. Land-based casinos also belong to Casinos Austria and are located in major cities and resorts (Vienna, Salzburg, Baden and others). Foreign online operators formally hold no local licence, though many serve Austrian players on the basis of European licences, which gives rise to legal disputes and case law on recovering losses. The currency is the euro; bank cards, transfers and e-wallets are used. Players' winnings are generally untaxed. Players should take into account the monopoly status of the legal online casino and the ambiguous legal status of foreign operators.
