After months of uncertainty, Austria’s Federal Ministry of Finance has finalised a draft law outlining the future of the country’s gambling regulatory framework. The proposed reforms and their implications for the market will be a key topic of discussion at the 3rd Annual iGaming DACH Summit , taking place on 3 – 4 December 2026 in Vienna , Austria . The framework under consideration would replace the country’s monopoly structure with an open licensing model, allowing an unlimited number of online gambling operators to enter the market. It is a clean break from the past and a clear sign that policymakers have paid close attention to what has – and has not – worked elsewhere.
