Casinos Austria: a strong regional partner
With its ‘Our Commitment to Austria’ initiative, Casinos Austria is also working as a partner on socio-political issues at all twelve casino locations. This is in addition to existing sponsoring partnerships, which continue unchanged. Since September 2023, each casino has been committed to supporting three social institutions. By the end of 2025, Casinos Austria will have carried out 271 additional activities through ‘Our Commitment to Austria’ from which people in Austria will benefit directly.
Partner of the ‘Our commitment to Austria’ initiative
The focus is on organisations in the immediate vicinity of the casinos that make an important social contribution to the people in the region and have to manage with limited resources. These include organisations such as the Cancer Aid, the Life Aid, the Red Cross or the Mountain Rescue and numerous integration projects.
‘Our commitment to Austria’ is based on three pillars
The casinos and their employees provide support in a number of ways: the partners receive financial support through sponsorship funds from Casinos Austria and donations from the deployment of the mobile casino ‘Casino on Tour’. As a further pillar, the employees of the casinos themselves become active in the context of corporate volunteering assignments and lend a hand where active help is needed.
New, Austria-wide partnership
In 2025, the ‘Our Commitment to Austria’ initiative will be expanded with a new partnership between Casinos Austria and Die Tafel Österreich. This cooperation is the first nationwide collaboration under the initiative and aims to help even more people in Austria. The three pillars are also applied here: in addition to a sponsorship contribution, the ‘Casino on Tour’ is used at the wholesale market in Vienna. Employees are involved in food drive days in Vienna, Linz and Innsbruck.
Initiative wins international award
The idea and scale of the ‘Our commitment to Austria’ initiative have also convinced an international jury of experts. The outstanding social commitment was honoured in January 2025 with the European Casino Award in the category ‘Corporate Community Engagement’.
Social responsibility as a corporate value
For more than 56 years, Casinos Austria has been committed to socially relevant causes in Austria. In addition, the twelve casinos bring added value to the respective region with their offerings and contribute to the creation of value to an extent that goes far beyond their own sales performance.
The following partnerships are just a few examples of this extensive commitment: Tafel Österreich (Austrian food bank), Krebshilfe Salzburg (Salzburg Cancer Aid), Gehörlosenverband Niederösterreich (Lower Austrian Association for the Deaf), Leukämiehilfe Steiermark (Styrian Leukaemia Aid), Lebenshilfe Vorarlberg (Vorarlberg Life Aid) and many more.
