Anyone who has lost money with Shuffle 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. Recovery of the casino losses is backed by Supreme Court case law; the sports-betting product follows a separate line.
The operator and its licence
Shuffle is operated by Natural Nine B.V. (Curaçao, Reg.-Nr. 160998), based in Korporaalweg 10, Willemstad, Curaçao, and runs an online casino and a sports betting product for the European market. The company holds the licence Curaçao Gaming Authority, OGL/2024/1337/0628 (LOK-Lizenz, aktiv). 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 Natural Nine B.V. (Curaçao, Reg.-Nr. 160998) and players resident in Austria over the casino product 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).
Sports betting kept separate
The sports-betting product is governed by the betting laws of the Austrian federal states, not by the Gambling Act. Unlike with casino claims, the licensing question is not the decisive lever here. Recovery of betting losses can be considered on the basis of partial incapacity to contract under § 865 ABGB at the time of the bets. The evidence is typically provided by a medical expert opinion. Concrete prospects are assessed in the individual case; further notes are in the FAQ section on sports betting.
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 Curaçao 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. Peschel arrives within a few business days. Send a request or read the recovery guide in detail.
