Explanation

The activities of bookmakers and totalisators are currently regulated in the Act on the activities of bookmakers and totalisators, Provincial Law Gazette 17/1995 (hereinafter the ‘Bookmaker Act 1994’). Apart from two minor amendments (Provincial Law Gazette 46/2001 and Provincial Law Gazette 51/2010), this Act has been part of the body of law and unchanged since 1994 – i.e. for more than 20 years. In view of the technical developments and options for exercising the activities of a betting operator, it is obvious that the Bookmaker Act 1994 is no longer in a position to map reality in the area of betting.

Summary

The draft Salzburg Betting Operator Act 2017, which has already been notified under number 2016/160/A, has been substantially amended, meaning that a new notification has become necessary.
