LEGISLATION
In Austria, lottery and online casino games are subject to a monopoly license. As such, the Law on Games of Chance (Glücksspielgesetz) states that only one lottery license may be given at any given point. This license is granted for a period of 15 years and is currently in possession of the Österreichische Lotterien Gesellschaft mbH (Austrian Lotteries) until 2026. In addition to offline lottery games, they also hold the exclusive right to offer electronic lotteries.
