As the Austrian Finance Ministry prepares a draft to form the basis for its new casino tender process in the coming months, operators have once again called for an end to the market’s “backward” gambling monopoly.
Austria’s Ministry for Finance has confirmed it is working on a new draft law ahead of the market’s upcoming monopoly tender renewal in 2027.
When approached by iGB’s sister publication GGB, the Austrian Finance Ministry was tight-lipped about potential plans to end the monopoly model. However, a spokesperson confirmed that the ministry was working on a draft law that would form the basis for the new tender in the coming months.
