This signifies that gambling-related penalties constituted a quarter of the overall fines issued during the same period.<\/p>\n<p>Austria&#8217;s Finance Minister, Magnus Brunner, stated: &#8220;The financial police are concentrating on combating social fraud, informal economic organizations, tax avoidance, and illicit gambling activities to guarantee a level playing field.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is how we safeguard legitimate businesses, secure tax revenue, and strengthen the business environment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Austrian financial police reported that 265 gambling machines were confiscated during this period, a 10.4% increase from the first half of 2022.<\/p>\n<p>One operation was conducted in Salzburg, where police seized 76 illegal gambling machines in multiple raids.<\/p>\n<p>In the initial three months of this year, financial police issued \u20ac492,000 in fines.<\/p>\n<p>Austria&#8217;s plans to re-regulate gambling have been postponed. <\/p>\n<p>While Austria declared intentions to revise its gambling regulations in 2021, the nation has persisted in enforcing its existing gambling rules. In February 2021, the then-Finance Minister, Gernot Bl\u00fcmel, unveiled plans to create a new regulatory entity and implement stringent control measures, including wagering and deposit caps, as well as granting the regulator expanded enforcement authority.<\/p>\n<p>This regulatory overhaul was proposed after an examination of Austria&#8217;s gambling monopoly, which reached its zenith in 2019 when the operator became the focal point of a political controversy.<\/p>\n<p>Austria&#8217;s gambling monopoly encompasses casino, poker, lottery, and bingo operations. This monopoly will endure until 2027. Nevertheless, the European Court of Justice has determined that this monopoly clashes with EU law.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, these proposals appear to have stagnated in the subsequent years.<\/p>\n<p>Sign up for the iGaming newsletter. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Officials in Austria have levied a total of \u20ac2.8 million ($3 million \/ \u00a32.3 million)&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.8 (Yoast SEO v22.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Austria Doubles Gambling Fines in First Half of 2023<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Gambling regulations in Austria are getting stricter, with fines for infractions doubling in the first six months of 2023.\" class=\"yoast-seo-meta-tag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/winportnodepositbonus.icu\/2024\/06\/27\/austria-doubles-gambling-fines-in-first-half-of-2023\/\" class=\"yoast-seo-meta-tag\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" class=\"yoast-seo-meta-tag\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" class=\"yoast-seo-meta-tag\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Austria Doubles Gambling Fines in First Half of 2023\" class=\"yoast-seo-meta-tag\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Gambling regulations in Austria are getting stricter, with fines for infractions doubling in the first six months of 2023.\" class=\"yoast-seo-meta-tag\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/winportnodepositbonus.icu\/2024\/06\/27\/austria-doubles-gambling-fines-in-first-half-of-2023\/\" class=\"yoast-seo-meta-tag\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Your Go-To Destination for Licensed Casino Games &amp; Latest News\" class=\"yoast-seo-meta-tag\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-06-26T22:59:26+00:00\" class=\"yoast-seo-meta-tag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"admin\" class=\"yoast-seo-meta-tag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" class=\"yoast-seo-meta-tag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" class=\"yoast-seo-meta-tag\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"admin\" class=\"yoast-seo-meta-tag\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" class=\"yoast-seo-meta-tag\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" class=\"yoast-seo-meta-tag\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/winportnodepositbonus.icu\/2024\/06\/27\/austria-doubles-gambling-fines-in-first-half-of-2023\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/winportnodepositbonus.icu\/2024\/06\/27\/austria-doubles-gambling-fines-in-first-half-of-2023\/\",\"name\":\"Austria Doubles Gambling Fines in First Half of 2023\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/winportnodepositbonus.icu\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2024-06-26T22:59:26+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-06-26T22:59:26+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/winportnodepositbonus.icu\/#\/schema\/person\/7fe3f8540cfe191b1464d5c1c2f0a7f0\"},\"description\":\"Gambling regulations in Austria are getting stricter, with fines for infractions doubling in the first six months of 2023.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/winportnodepositbonus.icu\/2024\/06\/27\/austria-doubles-gambling-fines-in-first-half-of-2023\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/winportnodepositbonus.icu\/2024\/06\/27\/austria-doubles-gambling-fines-in-first-half-of-2023\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/winportnodepositbonus.icu\/2024\/06\/27\/austria-doubles-gambling-fines-in-first-half-of-2023\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Homepage\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/winportnodepositbonus.icu\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Austria Doubles Gambling Fines in First Half of 2023\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/winportnodepositbonus.icu\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/winportnodepositbonus.icu\/\",\"name\":\"Your Go-To Destination for Licensed Casino Games &amp; Latest News\",\"description\":\"Unleash your gambling potential through our up-to-date news, comprehensive reviews, and expert articles.
