| Austria has become the world’s second country to launch a government-owned poker site that started functioning last week. Win2Day.at has been developed in co-operation with the Sweden’s Svenska Spel, and is jointly operated by Casinos Austria and Austrian Lotteries.
Like Svenska Spel, the site uses Boss Media’s technology platform, but in contrast to its Swedish counterpart, Win2Day.at will offer freeroll competitions and $72,477 would be given away in freerolls in February to celebrate the launch. As a part of a policy on responsible gaming, Win2Day.at limits a weekly deposit to $1,159 for all citizens and offers no bonuses except freerolls.
Chief Executive Officer of Boss Media, Michael Hallen, says they are very proud that Austria has launched its poker site using Boss Media’s software and there is a great sense of expectation as everyone at Boss Media has been working hard to the launch of Win2Day.at as successful as it was of SvenskaSpel.se two years ago.
