Patterns and exceptions
What the Austria list shows
Austrian bank methods stop at the deposit
What it means: set up Skrill, Neteller or a card for withdrawals before you deposit by EPS or Klarna.
Skrill is the route that works both ways
What it means: one Skrill account covers deposits and payouts at almost every bookmaker on this page.
Curacao is the norm
What it means: complaints go to the offshore licensing body, not to an Austrian authority.

Payments
Paying in and out from Austria
EPS, Klarna and Sofort
Online bank payments from your own bank login, listed for deposits at two bookmakers each and for withdrawals at none.
So what: convenient to pay in, but you will need another method to get paid.
E-wallets
Skrill is listed for deposits at 6 of 6 and withdrawals at 5; Neteller at 5 and 3.
So what: the most dependable two-way route here; check the wallet's own fees.
PaysafeCard
A prepaid voucher, listed for deposits at 4 of 6 and for withdrawals at none.
So what: fine for a fixed budget, useless for payouts.
Crypto
All six list crypto deposits.
So what: the coin's price can move between your deposit and your payout.

What a bookmaker needs to make this list
-
Accepts players from Austria
A bookmaker is listed for Austria only if it accepts players from Austria. The order adapts to what is available there, so it can differ from our worldwide ranking.
-
Licence as listed
Each licence appears exactly as the bookmaker lists it. We only call a bookmaker licensed in Austria when it lists a licence from Austria.
-
Local currency and payments
EUR accounts and local methods such as PaysafeCard, GiroPay and Sofort count, for withdrawals as well as deposits.
-
Esports coverage
Which esports titles each bookmaker lists, from CS2, Dota 2, LoL and Valorant to the titles followed in Austria.
-
Current offer

Scores and updates
Our editors score each bookmaker on betting markets and odds coverage, usability, payments, licensing, country access and user feedback, and revisit a score when something material changes, such as a licence or a payment method. The full process is on our How we rank page.
How we are paid
Some bookmakers pay us when a reader signs up through our links. That never decides the order.
