Hi,
my name is Paul and for starters I would like to apologize that this post is in English but my Deutsch is pretty non-existing.. If this topic is in wrong section please move it as I couldn't tell where I can write this..
I would like to ask anyone who knows something in this topic to help me if they can.

I'm am thinking of moving to Vienna and I was wondering if you guys can tell me what is situation of online and live poker there?
1. Is online poker legal and what are the taxes if so?
2. I assume live poker is legal, since there are many tournaments in Vienna, but what's the traffic and can I find a game in casino in times other than poker festivals? How many people play poker in bars/homes if any?
3. Any other tip you can give related to me moving to Vienna and playing for living?

I would greatly appreaciate every advice you can give me - would be much help. :f_thumbsup:

Regards,
Atalol

1. legal, no taxes

2. many lowlimit tournaments, check hendonmob or the local casino sites like montesino.at or ccc.co.at/concord_card_casino for more informations or like their facebook pages. cashgames daily (NLHE 1/1 1/2 sometimes 2/5 OMH 2/2 5/5). there are a few lowlimit homegames running in vienna everywhere (example: pokus.at) never been there, but as far i know they play lowlimit tournaments and afterwards cash 50c NLHE and OMH.

3. dont focus only on poker

Vienna ist beautiful indeed. Are you going to rent a flat?

legal ONLY at win2day, where u can only play with an austrian bank account.

illegal at any other site.

the taxes situation is unclear in any case.

www.immobilien.net is the largest site.

without contacts u will most likely not be able to find a nice flat within the city without a broker, so renting a flat is very expensive in general.

www.jobwohnen.at covers privats ads also.

and again, poker is not tax-free.

Thank you very much for links :f_thumbsup: My friend have some friends in Vienna and also my cousin visits it often in buisness related matter so I will ask them if they can help me with finding a flat.
About poker legality: so I guess it's like in Poland - a grey area? Noone pay taxes and noone is forcing them but from the law point of view people should pay them?
Do I get it right?
