 Austrian law views Königrufen – like all variants of Tarock card games – as a game of skill (i.e.it depends more on the ability of the player than on chance), which is why it does not contravene the act on gambling monopolies despite usually involving (small) amounts of money being wagered.Since 2004, it has also been possible to play Königrufen online at the game platform "GameTwist.at" (formerly "Stargames.at").
