Austria is considering opening its online gambling market to multiple operators under a leaked draft law prepared by the Finance Ministry, marking a significant shift away from the country’s long-standing casino monopoly system.
According to the draft proposal, multiple providers would be allowed to offer online casino gambling under a “strictly regulated licensing system”. This move is seen as a departure from the current monopoly structure that has been in place for a considerable time. The leaked draft law, which has garnered attention following its disclosure, signals a potential overhaul in Austria’s online gambling landscape.
