HitnSpin Shuts Out Austrian Players With No Word on Balances Already Held

HitnSpin's general terms and conditions captured on 22 September 2026 and on 25 September 2026 differ by one word: "Austria," in the list of restricted jurisdictions in clause 4.4. The list now runs to 54 entries.

• Austria is now on the list. The clause opens: "The Company does not permit accounts to be opened by, or to make any deposits nor used from, customers located or domiciled in Afghanistan, American Samoa, Aruba, Austria, Australia, Belarus, Bonaire, Brazil, Cyprus, Curacao, Czech Republic, Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea), South Korea, Ethiopia, Egypt, France, Great Britain, Guyana, Guam, Iraq, Iran, Italy, Israel, Kosovo, Malta, Netherlands, Laos, Samoa, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Saba, Serbia, Singapore, Spain, Statia, St. Maarten St. Eustatius, Myanmar, Syria, Sri Lanka, Somalia, Libya, Central African Republic, South Sudan, Haiti, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Uganda, United States of America, Vanuatu, Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, Yemen, Japan." The ban covers deposits and use of an account as well as sign-up, so it reaches players who registered before the change.
• No date and no transition. The clause ends: "You agree that you are not allowed to open an account, nor attempt to use Your Account if you are based in this jurisdiction." Nothing in the terms says how an Austrian player already holding a balance withdraws it. The closest rule is clause 13.5.3, under which any balance is returned on termination within a reasonable time of the player's request, less any amounts the player owes, so the player has to ask.
• The list can move again without warning. Clause 4.4 says: "This list of jurisdictions may be changed by the Company from time to time with or without notice." Austria's addition between two captures three days apart is that sentence at work.
• Playing from Austria through a VPN carries its own sanction. Clause 12.7, unchanged, reads: "Masking IP or location is not allowed and we reserve the right to close any accounts and void any bets, bonus and winnings if the account was created or used through the use of IP or geolocation masking technologies including but not limited to VPN and Proxy Servers." The ban is on location, and a player who hides the location risks the winnings as well as the account.

Nothing else in the terms changed. A country was added to a list the casino may change without notice, and the document leaves the players already inside it to ask for their money back.
