Fusion42 · 5 August 2026 · Fusion42 review

Austria has submitted draft reforms to its Gambling Act that end the longstanding monopoly and introduce an open online licensing system with strict regulatory and player protection measures. The European Commission will review the draft over three months, with unlicensed operators facing a January 2027 exit deadline and subsequent licensing bans for non-compliance.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Austria’s gambling market shifts from protected monopoly to open licensing with strict deadlines and enforcement, so you must organise your licence and settlements this month or lose market access for years.
