    These names appear on your bank statement

    Your bank or credit card statement usually does not show the brand TonyBet, but the name of the operating company: TonyBet OÜ (reg. no. 12103082).

    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 TonyBet 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

    TonyBet is operated by TonyBet OÜ (registration number 12103082), based in Punane tn 14a-4. korrus 419/4, 13619 Tallinn, Estonia, and runs an online casino and a sports betting product for the European market. The company holds the licence Estonian Tax and Customs Board, 4 active licences (Estonia). 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 TonyBet OÜ (registration number 12103082) 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 Estonia falls within the scope of the Brussels I Recast Regulation. 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 TonyBet

    Which name appears on the bank statement for TonyBet?
    Your bank or credit card statement usually does not show the brand TonyBet, but the operating company TonyBet OÜ (reg. no. 12103082), based in Tallinn, Estonia. That booking line is what lets you trace your own deposits in the statement, and it is usually the quickest route to the total loss. Details on how payments are booked
    Is TonyBet legal in Austria?
    The operating company TonyBet OÜ (reg. no. 12103082), based in Tallinn, Estonia, holds licences from the Estonian Tax and Customs Board, 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 TonyBet?
    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). That applies to the casino product. Betting losses follow a separate line, based on partial incapacity to contract under § 865 ABGB. Whether and to what extent a recovery can be enforced is something we assess free of charge, based on the loss amount and the period concerned.
    Are older losses with TonyBet already time-barred?
    Claims based on unjust enrichment only become time-barred after thirty years under § 1478 of the Austrian Civil Code. Deposits made several years ago can therefore as a rule still be pursued. TonyBet OÜ is based in Estonia and thus within the EU, so enforcement of an Austrian judgment falls under the Brussels I Recast Regulation. We clarify the relevant period in the free initial assessment.

    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.
