The rule in Hungary
Regulator, licensing and what it means for payments
Hungary opened sports betting to private EEA operators in January 2023 through SZTFH licensing. Entry costs HUF 1bn in share capital and a HUF 600m license fee, operators pay 15% of GGR in tax plus a 2.5% supervision fee, and an applicant needs 5 years of licensed online experience in the EEA. Online casino is open only to holders of a land-based casino concession, and by late 2025 eleven of the twelve available concessions had been granted. For an operator the betting route is open but expensive, and the casino route is all but closed.
