Online Gambling in Austria + Casinos List

Austria is an interesting country, not only for its diverse culture and beautiful landscapes but also for the fact that gambling is legal there.

The first thing to know about Austrian law on gambling is whether it's allowed at all or not. Gambling of any kind has been legal since 2000 with a few exceptions:

• Betting on horses and sporting events;

• Playing poker (although casino style poker games are accepted);

• Participating in lotteries outside of Austria;

• Organizing betting pools such as office sweepstakes or raffles

Other than that, Austria is very comfortable jurisdiction when it comes to gambling online. For example, all poker winnings are exempt from taxes.
