FAQ

Häufig gestellte Fragen zu unserem Projekt Online Casinos

Which online casinos are covered by the litigation funding offer?

The current list of eligible casino providers can be found directly on the information page for the procedure.

What exactly can I claim?

The lawyers commissioned by AdvoFin will reclaim for you the payments you made to the casino providers, reduced by any payouts (winnings) received.

Can losses from sports betting also be reclaimed?

No, this is not possible.

Can losses from online poker also be reclaimed?

Yes, certainly.

Is there a risk of facing (criminal) legal consequences due to my gambling activity with casino providers illegal in Austria?

This is not to be expected. Current jurisprudence in Austria exclusively states that the offering of online casino games without an Austrian license is prohibited and can consequently entail legal consequences.

What do I need to participate in the collective action?

Nothing! You register with us, and we will guide you through the entire process.

Please note: Losses incurred after registering for our collective actions can nicht be considered within the scope of the collective action, or further gambling activity after your registration for the collective action may lead to exclusion from the collective action.

What happens to the winnings that I have received?

The collective action aims to reclaim your deposited amounts, reduced by any payouts (winnings) received.

However, if a net profit was made at a casino (payouts > deposits), then proceeding within our collective action is not possible.

What is the minimum amount of damages required to participate in the collective action?

Participation is possible with a net gambling loss (deposits – payouts) of EUR 1,000 (with one provider). Payments from January 1, 2000 can be considered within the scope of the collective action. Payments made before this period cannot currently be included.

Will I incur costs in the context of litigation funding?

NO! Participation in our collective action is free of charge and risk-free for you! AdvoFin finances the costs of the procedure (both in and out of court) and, in case of success, receives a share of the proceeds as compensation.

In the event of a loss, AdvoFin naturally bears all costs.

What is AdvoFin's share in the event of success?

In case of success, for assuming the litigation risk and financing all costs, we receive a participation rate of 37% of the litigation proceeds. In the event of an out-of-court settlement (before filing a lawsuit), the participation rate is reduced to just 19%.

Is a review of my potential claims possible free of charge?

Certainly. Following your online registration on our website and the upload of the required documents, AdvoFin’s team will review your claims free of charge and discuss the next steps directly with you.

How long does the enforcement of my claims typically take?

This varies greatly from case to case and depends on the complexity of the case as well as the opposing party’s willingness to resolve it. AdvoFin would be unprofessional to make a blanket statement.

Does AdvoFin file suit in my name or its own?

AdvoFin does not file lawsuits itself. Any potential lawsuit will be conducted by the lawyer you commission on your behalf.

Participation in our collective action will, of course, be treated with strict confidentiality.

FAQs

FAQ

Häufig gestellte Fragen zu Advofin

What does it cost me to enter into litigation funding with AdvoFin?

Entering into litigation funding with AdvoFin or participating in one of our collective actions is cost-free and risk-free for you! AdvoFin finances the costs of the proceedings (both in and out of court) and, in the event of success, receives a share of the proceeds as compensation for assuming the litigation risk.

Is a review of my potential claims possible free of charge?

Certainly. Following your contact and submission of the required documents, AdvoFin’s staff will review your claims free of charge and directly discuss the possible next steps with you.

Do I retain my claims, or does AdvoFin purchase them from me?

As a rule, you retain your claims. AdvoFin acts solely as a litigation funder. The proceedings are conducted by an attorney authorized by you.

How long does the enforcement of my claims typically take?

This varies greatly from case to case and depends on the complexity of the case as well as the opposing party’s willingness to resolve it. AdvoFin would be unprofessional to make a blanket statement.

Is legal action always initiated immediately?

No. Depending on the case, individual lawsuits (as test cases) or a multitude of lawsuits are filed. AdvoFin naturally bears the cost risk.

Does AdvoFin file suit in my name or its own?

AdvoFin does not file lawsuits itself. Any potential legal action will be conducted by the attorney you commission.

What happens if a lawsuit filed in my name is lost? Do I bear any risk here?

No. AdvoFin bears the cost risk entirely. You incur no costs or risks as a result.

I have a claim that is not actively pursued by AdvoFin as part of a project. Does AdvoFin also finance such claims?

AdvoFin reviews and finances individual cases with a claim value of €1 million or more. You are welcome to submit your inquiry here.

How will I be kept informed about the progress of my claim enforcement?

Our clients regularly receive information about their proceedings via email or post. Furthermore, you can stay informed in our news sections and on our social media channels.

From what claim amount can I register for litigation funding?

Participation in projects managed by AdvoFin is possible regardless of the amount of your damages. Individual financing inquiries for individual claims are reviewed from a claim amount of €1 million.

Which documents are required by AdvoFin for the pursuit of my claims?

The required documents are highly case-dependent and can be found in the respective registration forms for each project. Our employees will contact you if the submitted documents are incomplete or if further documents are required.

Are there cases/damages that AdvoFin generally does not accept?

No. It is AdvoFin’s business principle to work independently and across legal counsel. AdvoFin makes independent decisions regarding financing offers and is not influenced by powerful opponents or case-specific constraints.

What is AdvoFin's share in the event of success?

This is case-dependent. However, the share typically amounts to 25% – 37% of the proceeds obtained for the client.

Is the enforcement of my claims also conceivable out of court?

Yes. An out-of-court settlement with the opposing party is also conceivable and has been achieved multiple times through out-of-court compromises.
