Best Austrian poker players
Austrian poker players have won more than 110 million dollars in the live poker circuit, a fantastic result that boosts the country to the 17th position of countries with the highest poker profits.
Matthias Eibinger ($8,6M in poker profits, EPT champion), Thomas Mühlöcker ($7,5M in poker profits, EPT and Aussie Millions Poker champion), and Ivo Doven ($2,3M in poker profits, WSOP and the Vienna Spring Festival champion) are the best live poker players in Austria.
Hanh Tran, Ivo Donev, Nikolaus Teichert have won in total four golden bracelets for Austria, being Tran the only one with two titles.
The results of Austrian poker players in online poker rooms are also amazing: over 100M won by Austrian grinders, led by "wushutm," "onehundredeyes," Jaasoos "Succeeed," "Dattebayo," "IM_ICM," Manuel "yound_diamong18" Blaschke, among others.
The online poker market in Austria grants healthy conditions for grinders; thus, the results of the players are not surprising, and day after day, more Austrian players make a presence at the highest stakes tables of online poker rooms.
Austrian legal poker background
The Austrian Gambling Act regulates all forms of gambling in the country, including online poker, which means that, in theory, Österreichische Lotterien GmbH (the state local company) is the only site allowed to offer online gambling products to Austrian citizens.
But, the good news is that the Austrian authorities don't enforce this law by any mean, and thanks to having a gambling regulation in place, the market behaves as an open and regulated one; this means that Austrian players are welcome to join the best online poker rooms of the moment.
In addition to that, as Austria is a member of the European Union, the most trusted e-wallets like Skrill, Neteller, or EcoPayz operate smoothly in the country.
