Bet-at-home has announced the winding up of its Malta business, after it ceased offering online casino in Austria in October.
In October, Bet-at-home announced plans to stop offering online casino in Austria. That decision followed a ruling in an ongoing legal case in the country in which a number of players sought reimbursement for losses incurred with unlicensed operators. Casinos Austria is the only operator licensed to offer online casino in the country.
At the time, Bet-at-home said it was still confident it would eventually win the case, but added it was now unclear how long this would take. As a result, it said, continuing to offer online casino would lead to a “steadily increasing risk potential that appears indefensible overall”.
