Austria’s plan to overhaul its gambling laws is nearing a key European deadline as the standstill period under the European Commission’s Technical Regulation Information System (TRIS) expires on 5 November 2026.
As SBC News reported in August, Austria’s Ministry of Finance put the bill before Europe for review proposing to replace the country’s online gambling monopoly with an open licensing system underpinned by tougher player protection and enforcement powers.
The coming deadline is the next step in the process for the existing reform package. The TRIS framework allows EU member states and the European Commission to submit comments or detailed opinions on draft technical regulations, product standards and information services.
