A no deposit bonus lets players in Austria try a casino with free spins or a small amount of bonus cash before paying anything in. Below are the casinos that accept players from Austria and currently list such an offer, with the terms that decide whether you can withdraw the winnings.
Are no deposit bonuses legal for players in Austria?
Austria has no open licensing market yet. Under the Gambling Act (GSpG) the only federal licence for online casino games belongs to 脰sterreichische Lotterien, which runs win2day. Any other site that offers a no deposit bonus on slots or roulette to Austrian residents does so without an Austrian licence, which the GSpG treats as prohibited gambling (verbotene Ausspielungen). Promoting such offers is an administrative offence under section 52 GSpG.
That will change, but not yet. The Finance Ministry published a draft reform on 29 June 2026 that would open online casino games to licensed operators. According to legal analysis of the draft, the current licence runs until 30 September 2027 and new online licences would only be possible from 1 October 2027. Until the law is passed and in force, the current rules apply.
On tax, private players in Austria do not normally pay income tax on gambling winnings, including winnings from a bonus, because gambling taxes are charged to the operator. Professional gambling can be treated differently, so ask a tax adviser if it is a regular source of income for you.
How do no deposit bonuses work in Austria?
You register, sometimes confirm your email or phone, and the casino credits the bonus. Winnings are bonus money until you meet the wagering requirement, and most offers cap what you can withdraw. Offers can differ by country, so the one shown for Austria may not match what players elsewhere see.
Online casino games in Austria may only be offered under the federal licence held by 脰sterreichische Lotterien (win2day), and advertising unlicensed gambling to Austrians is a punishable offence.
Paying in EUR and local payment methods
Of the 5 casinos on this page, 4 let you play in EUR and 5 accept local payment methods.
Popular deposit methods for players in Austria include Eps, Sofort, Visa and Mastercard. Playing in EUR avoids conversion fees on every deposit and withdrawal.
What wagering means in EUR
With 40x wagering, a 100 EUR bonus means 100 x 40 = 4,000 EUR in bets before the bonus can be withdrawn. Slots usually count in full; table and live games often count less.
40x is the median wagering among the casinos on this page.
