The Austrian Lotteries mbH is an Austrian gaming company based in Vienna .

Founding motives

Until the amendment to the Gambling Act in 1986, there was no nationwide gambling based on the totalizator principle in Austria . Österreichische Lotterien Gesellschaft mbH was founded in September 1986 to introduce Lotto 6 out of 45 in Austria. At the same time, Toto , whose stake forms the financial basis of Austrian sports funding, was taken over by the Austrian gaming monopoly administration. The aim was to reorganize the decentralized gaming market, exploit the existing market potential and prevent the increased outflow of Austrian gaming capital abroad that was noticeable in the early 1980s.

Shareholder and Board of Directors

The shareholders of Austrian Lotteries are Casinos Austria AG (68%) and Lotto-Toto Holding Gesellschaft (32%). As of July 2017, the board of directors was made up of CEO Alexander Labak and director Bettina Glatz-Kremsner . On May 1, 2019, Bettina Glatz-Kremsner succeeded Alexander Labak as CEO.

The shares in Lotto-Toto Holding GmbH are held by the following companies:

Subsidiaries

The company OOO Ural Loto was founded in 2008 to carry out draws in the Russian sub-region of Bashkortostan . OOO Ural Loto is a 100% subsidiary of the Russian Austrian Lotteries Holding Ges.mbH, which is 59% owned by Austrian Lotteries, 34% is held by the Austro-Russian businessman Vadim Pletnev with his Viennese company “VPB Beteiligungs GmbH”. Another 7% is held by the Upper Austrian company Keba AG, which manufactures vending machines and terminals. After a change in the law in 2014, gaming had to be stopped - a lottery “6 out of 40”, joker and three scratch cards as well as a letter ticket called “Supersprint” were offered. After the resulting lack of a business basis, the company OOO Ural Loto is now in liquidation.

The 100% subsidiary Albanisch Österreichische Lotterien Holding Ges.mbH, founded in 2012, won the tender for the license for nationwide lottery draws in Albania in September 2012 , and is carried out by another 100% subsidiary based in Albania called Lotaria Kombëtare. In 2016, Novomatic took over 100 percent of Lotaria Kombetare.

A contribution to the financing of Austrian sport is the sport promotion anchored in the Gambling Act. In addition to top-class sport, popular sport is also supported. Since 1986, a total of 1.391 billion euros has flowed into special federal sports funding. Since 2011, the annual amount that flows from the lotteries into sports funding has been guaranteed to be at least 80 million euros and increases to the extent to which the federal gaming taxes increase. The sports funding is administered by the Austrian Federal Sports Organization and distributed according to an exact key.
