Yes, it is a nice place here (I was born near Klagenfurt). If you promote poker and licensed online casinos, those two do not have any regular affiliate programs at the moment though, I cannot imagine any legal problems. Players should not have any fear of retribution either as the government would have to control their surving behavior, check credit card statements or restrict access to certain websites. And I dare to claim that is not doable in a democracy. Unless they have proof of severe criminal behavior of course (example “child p..n”).
Whether they could enforce legal action regarding the promotion of illegal gambling is difficult to answer. But we do not have a Wire-act or anything similar.

I’m planning on moving to Austria (Salzburg) in the near future. It is my favorite place on the planet. I am truly interested in whether or not you think there would be any restrictions playing with or promoting the casinos. Is the situation in Austria similar to that of the US where until very recently we could play and promote without fear of retribution. Could the Austrian government just arbitrarily decide to start enforcing some antiquated legislation if they decide it’s in their interest to do so?
