Players in Austria have filed lawsuit against the online casino websites, reclaiming the losses incurred over a period of past two and a half years. It is estimated that players who have filed the lawsuit lost sums to the tune of €3,000 over the past two and a half years.
OVWG, the Austrian Association for Betting and Gambling, said that the gambling operators would have to contest the lawsuit on their own. The lawsuit is filed against the gambling operators who were offering online gambling without having the necessary permits to operate in Austria.
AdvoFin, the Vienna-based legal services company, claims that the customers who lost money with the online casinos have a legal base to get their refunds. The firm is positive about getting gambling operators to pay back the losses.
