Österreichische Lotterien Gesellschaft m.b.H

Founded in 1986, Austrian Lotteries Inc. quickly developed into an internationally recognized and highly successful gaming company. An entertaining yet responsible gaming portfolio with optimal accessibility, a strong commitment to innovation to ensure the highest possible customer satisfaction, as well as strict player protection and a high degree of social responsibility, are the three pillars on which the company has successfully built its business for 40 years.

Austrian Lotteries holds the exclusive concession for conducting lottery games, electronic lotteries, and gaming via Video Lottery Terminals (VLTs) in Austria. Its innovative spirit, ability to identify and leverage emerging trends, and its continuous forward-looking approach have enabled the company to take on a pioneering role in many areas. In the early 1990s, Austrian Lotteries was among the first lottery operators worldwide to introduce online gaming through terminals located at retail outlets. Furthermore, the company recognized the potential of new media and technologies at an early stage and launched its online gaming platform in 1998, which later evolved into Austria’s leading gaming website, win2day.at.

For the management team and approximately 980 employees, transparency, integrity, and security in gaming operations are top priorities. This commitment is supported by the use of state-of-the-art technologies and the responsible, sustainable use of resources. The guiding principle behind all business activities is “Gaming with Responsibility.” Particular emphasis is placed on the protection of minors and the prevention of excessive gambling behavior. However, the company’s sense of responsibility extends far beyond these areas and encompasses the entire value chain, taking into account economic, environmental, and social considerations.

With tax contributions amounting to several hundred million euros annually, the company makes a significant contribution to Austria’s public finances. In addition, through the statutory sports funding scheme stipulated in the Austrian Gambling Act, Austrian Lotteries plays a major role in financing sports in Austria. Section 20 of the Austrian Gambling Act defines annual sports funding of at least €120 million.

Beyond this, Austrian Lotteries supports numerous institutions and projects in the fields of humanitarian and social causes, sports and health, as well as arts and culture, all of which serve the public interest. All sponsorship activities are guided by the company’s commitment to social responsibility, with a strong focus on long-term and sustainable partnerships. Employees also actively contribute through the company’s corporate volunteering program, for which Austrian Lotteries grants up to five working days per year to support voluntary community engagement.
