The Austrian Supreme Court has ruled that bet-at-home.com Internet Ltd. is responsible for covering €2.8 million in gambling losses claimed by a customer. The ruling has significant implications for the company’s financial outlook.

  • The court case involved a customer who was addicted to gambling and legally incapacitated while gambling online, leading to a claim of €2.8 million.
  • Although bet-at-home.com Entertainment Ltd. (in liquidation) was the customer’s direct contract partner, the court found bet-at-home.com Internet Ltd. liable under tort law.
  • The company indirectly owns both bet-at-home.com Internet Ltd. and bet-at-home.com Entertainment Ltd., but the latter is not included in the company’s financial statements.
  • The management is currently assessing how this ruling will affect their financial forecast for 2024.
  • Previously, the company had set aside €2.3 million in provisions for this case, but additional claims may still arise.
