    These names appear on your bank statement

    Your bank or credit card statement usually does not show the brand Casino Classic. Payments are booked through the operating company Fresh Horizons Limited or through the payment agents Bulex Enterprises Limited and GOITSC Limited (Cyprus).

    These names make it easier to find your own payments in the statements. Whether a recovery claim follows from them is assessed free of charge in the individual case.

    Anyone who has lost money with Casino Classic can reclaim that loss under Austrian law. The operating entity does not hold an Austrian concession, the gambling contract is therefore void and the stakes are reclaimable on the rules of unjust enrichment. The Austrian Supreme Court has confirmed this line in settled case law, most recently in 6 Ob 31/24p.

    The operator and its licence

    Casino Classic is operated by Fresh Horizons Limited, based in Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands, and runs an online casino for the European market. The company holds the licence Kahnawake Gaming Commission (Canada), licence no. 00972. Payments are settled through Bulex Enterprises Limited and GOITSC Limited (Cyprus), names that frequently show up on the bank statement. It does not hold a concession under the Austrian Gambling Act. Yet anyone offering gambling services to players resident in Austria needs exactly that concession.

    How casino losses are recovered

    Under settled case law of the Austrian Supreme Court, contracts between Fresh Horizons Limited and players resident in Austria are void. The amounts paid in were transferred without a valid legal ground and are reclaimable on the rules of unjust enrichment (§ 1431 ff. of the Austrian Civil Code). The Supreme Court confirmed this line most recently in 6 Ob 31/24p. The limitation period is thirty years (§ 1478 of the Civil Code).

    The group behind the brand

    The brand belongs to the Casino Rewards group, the shared loyalty programme of several online casinos. Under the general terms and conditions of the member casinos we reviewed, the brands of the group are operated by the same company, Fresh Horizons Limited.

    Our provider overview also lists the following brands from the same group: Captain Cooks Casino, Casino Rewards, Grand Mondial Casino, Luxury Casino, Quatro Casino, Yukon Gold Casino, Zodiac Casino.

    Jurisdiction and enforcement

    Claims are brought before the Austrian court of the player’s place of residence. Enforcement of an Austrian judgment against a company based in the British Virgin Islands follows different rules than enforcement within the EU; a direct EU enforcement track is not available. Additional levers come into play, such as personal liability of the acting managing directors or action against European payment service providers handling the casino’s transactions. Commercial enforceability is assessed in the individual case.

    What you need to start

    For a free initial assessment, the operators concerned and an approximate total loss are sufficient. You do not need to gather documents yourself, the firm does that. A response from Dr. Oliver Peschel arrives within a few business days. Send a request or read the recovery guide in detail.

    Frequently asked

    Frequently asked questions about Casino Classic

    Which name appears on the bank statement for Casino Classic?
    Your bank or credit card statement usually does not show the brand Casino Classic. Payments are booked through the operating company Fresh Horizons Limited or through the payment agents Bulex Enterprises Limited and GOITSC Limited, both based in Cyprus and expressly named in the provider's Austrian terms and conditions. Anyone putting together their own deposits should therefore look for these names. Details on the bank statement entry
    Is Casino Classic legal in Austria?
    The offering at casinoclassic.casino is operated by Fresh Horizons Limited, based in Road Town, Tortola, the British Virgin Islands, and the brand belongs to the Casino Rewards group. This refers to that offering only, not to similarly named comparison or affiliate sites about Classic Casino. The company holds a licence from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission in Canada (licence no. 00972), but no concession under the Austrian Gambling Act. Anyone directing an online casino at players resident in Austria needs exactly that concession. Without it, the gambling contract is void under the settled case law of the Austrian Supreme Court, most recently confirmed in 6 Ob 31/24p.
    Can I reclaim my losses with Casino Classic?
    Because the gambling contract is void, the stakes were paid without a valid legal ground and are reclaimable on the rules of unjust enrichment (§ 1431 ff. of the Austrian Civil Code). Whether and to what extent a recovery can be enforced in the individual case is something we assess free of charge, based on the loss amount and the period concerned. For the first step, the provider concerned and an approximate total loss are enough.
    Can a judgment against Casino Classic be enforced?
    Fresh Horizons Limited is based in the British Virgin Islands, so a direct EU enforcement track does not apply here. Additional levers come into play, such as personal liability of the acting managing directors or action against European payment service providers handling the transactions. The payment agents Bulex Enterprises Limited and GOITSC Limited are based in Cyprus and therefore within the EU. Commercial enforceability is assessed in the individual case.

    General questions about recovery

    What does the initial consultation cost and how does it work?
    Free of charge and without obligation. You send us your list of casinos and loss amounts, we assess prospects, clarify funding options and usually reply within a few working days. A phone call is possible but not mandatory. Only when we agree on the mandate and you sign the mandate agreement do we start the actual work. Before that, no costs arise for you.
    Are crypto casinos also actionable?
    Yes, for two reasons: first, gambling with crypto stakes is subject to the Austrian Gambling Act because the element of staking something of value is met. Second, none of the typical crypto casinos (Stake, Roobet, Bitstarz and the like) holds an Austrian concession. Recovery follows the same rules as for fiat casinos. The additional challenge lies in enforcement, because many crypto operators are based in third countries such as Curaçao. We assess economic enforceability on a per-case basis.
    How far back can I sue for losses at online casinos?
    Unjust-enrichment claims arising from void gambling contracts are subject to a 30-year limitation period in Austria (§ 1478 of the Civil Code, ABGB). Losses from the past three decades are therefore in principle actionable, provided the operator had no Austrian concession during the relevant period. Documentation becomes harder the older the losses, because casinos only provide playing histories for a limited time. Keep old bank statements and operator e-mails, both help with evidence.
    How does communication with the law firm work?
    The mandate process is fully digital. You send us your loss list by e-mail or via the contact form, we review, get back to you with an initial assessment and provide the mandate agreement and power of attorney for electronic signature. In-person meetings are not required but are available at any time. For follow-ups you reach Dr. Oliver Peschel or his team directly, no call centre and no automated queue.
