Gambling in Hungary

The 1991 Hungarian Gambling Act brought some order to the previously disheveled gambling market in the country, and opened the door for the creation of a state monopoly over the entire industry. As such, all gambling establishments are majority-owned by the government, although third parties may own a proportionate interest.  The Gambling Act has been challenged by the European Union, which has filed a complaint against the country for breach of EU conduct, although no resolution has been reached to date.

Hungarians enjoy a full range of casinos, including Casino Las Vegas at Sofitel Budapest, or the Tropicana Casino, also in Budapest.

The state lottery, Szerencsejatek Zrt, founded in 1991, offers a full line of lotto type games, number games, keno, scratch cards and sports betting. Lottery games can be played online as well.

Online Gambling in Hungary

Since lottery products first appeared online in the late 1990's, Hungarians have been enamored with the idea of gambling over the internet.  While the government makes it difficult for its citizens to wager online, even creating laws that forbid banks to honor transactions to and from gambling sites, the majority of Hungarian gamblers wager at foreign gaming sites, thanks in part to the rise in popularity and availability of alternative payment methods such as Abaqoos, Citadel Direct and Skrill.

Citizens are welcomed at Hungarian online casinos powered by software groups such as Real Time Gaming and Microgaming, who offer their services in Hungarian.
