    These names appear on your bank statement

    Your bank or credit card statement usually does not show the brand Slotbox, but the name of the operating company: Slotbox N.V. (reg. no. 155357).

    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 Slotbox 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

    Slotbox is operated by Slotbox N.V. (reg. no. 155357), based in Abraham de Veerstraat 9, Willemstad, Curaçao, and runs an online casino for the European market. The company holds the licence Curaçao Gaming Control Board, OGL/2024/1381/061 (LOK licence, active). 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 Slotbox N.V. (reg. no. 155357) 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

    Slotbox N.V. (reg. no. 155357) belongs to Vantage Club Casino Group. The group operates several gambling brands through dedicated operating entities. Which entity was the contractual partner in a given case follows from the general terms in force at the time of registration.

    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. Oliver Peschel arrives within a few business days. Send a request or read the recovery guide in detail.

    Frequently asked

    Frequently asked questions about Slotbox

    Which name appears on the bank statement for Slotbox?
    Payments are not booked under the brand, but through the operating company Slotbox N.V. (reg. no. 155357), based in Willemstad, Curaçao. If the statement shows Slotbox Limited (Cyprus, reg. no. HE413893) instead, that belongs to the same provider: this company is the EEA subsidiary of Slotbox N.V. Which entries belong to your player account is something we clarify together with you. Details on the charges
    Is Slotbox legal in Austria?
    The operating company Slotbox N.V., based in Willemstad, Curaçao, holds no concession under the Austrian Gambling Act. Its licence from the Curaçao Gaming Control Board (OGL/2024/1381/061) does not replace that concession. Anyone directing an online casino at players resident in Austria needs the Austrian 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 Slotbox?
    The gambling contract is void, so the deposits were made 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 that can be enforced in the individual case is something we assess free of charge, based on the loss amount and the period concerned. To start, the name of the operator and an approximate total loss are enough, and the firm gathers the documents.
    Can a judgment against a company in Curaçao be enforced?
    Claims are brought in Austria, before the court of the player's place of residence. The seat of Slotbox N.V. in Curaçao only makes a difference at the enforcement stage, because the EU rules do not apply there. Levers that remain are personal liability of the acting managing directors or action against European payment service providers handling the casino's transactions. How realistic enforcement is in the individual case is assessed before any step is taken.

    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.
