Austrian Online Poker Possible

By launchpoker, Jan 17, 2008

An online virtual poker room is to be set up on Win2Day, the online gambling platform for Casinos Austria. While the new site will be coming online to give the Austrians a chance to gamble online a little closer to home, there will be some limits imposed to help those gamblers who have trouble helping themselves. Each week a player may wager only 800 Euros. The EU member nation will be looking to control the revenues that come into and out of the country from online poker, and a state run poker site would be one way to do that.
