Austrian lotteries criticized for age verification failures

Austrian Lotteries have come under fire from a player protection organization for neglecting to follow the correct age verification protocols in three of the nine federal states that they examined.
Austrian Lotteries have come under fire from the newly established Austrian Players' Aid Association for allegedly enabling minors to purchase instant win products.

Despite being between the ages of 12 and 14, 55% of all the children who were used in the testing purchases had no trouble purchasing the corresponding products, according to the association, which works to advocate for improved player protection in the nation while providing media education and advice.

Thus, they condemned Austrian Lotteries for neglecting to carry out the essential age verification processes at the time of the purchases.
