With online gambling continuing to gain global traction, Austria may soon join the list of countries embracing regulation. Industry experts suggest that 2025 could be the year Austria establishes a regulated online gambling market, a move that would significantly reshape the country’s gaming landscape. However, political uncertainties and Austria’s existing monopoly on gambling may present challenges in bringing this plan to fruition.
The formation of a new Austrian government has reignited discussions about online gambling reform. Following last year’s elections, two major political parties are currently negotiating a coalition, and industry insiders believe that regulating online gambling could become a key agenda item once a governing agreement is reached.
Previous administrations have explored the idea of opening up the gambling market but failed to push legislation forward. This time, experts argue that economic factors may drive the government to take action. A regulated market would generate significant tax revenue, helping to address budgetary concerns, according to an analysis published by Vivo Gaming.
