Money… can move the body and influence the mind,
but it cannot touch the heart or move the spirit.

The Story

An Austrian minister has proposed that all unauthorized online gambling sites should refund the losses of their clients incurred during the past three decades.

 

The minister might as well summon unicorns while he’s at it.

Finance Minister Hartwig Löger, in his bid to protect state online gambling monopoly Win2Day, wants the government to require unauthorized online gambling sites to refund the losses of punters over the past 30 years. This move, he said, is a better alternative for international operators than risk legal action “as well as the ensuing reputational damage at home and abroad.” Aside from the proposal on reclaiming losses, Löger also wants to empower the Telekom Control Commission (TKK) to impose “immediate blocking” of any domain that refuses to cut ties with its Austrian customers.
