iGaming operates under a state monopoly in Austria, with Austrian Lotteries (Win2day) holding the sole online license until September 2027. Casinos Austria holds 12 of 15 land-based casino licenses.
Major reform is imminent. The Ministry of Finance is preparing draft legislation expected by early 2026, with new laws potentially effective by summer 2026. The reform could transition Austria from monopoly to a competitive multi-license system.
Online gambling taxes increased from 40% to 45%, while betting duties rose from 2% to 5%. The government is considering IP blocking and payment restrictions against unlicensed operators.
