The rule in Hungary
Our own reading, not a summary of someone else's
Split down the middle, and the split is what matters. Sports betting was liberalised from January 2023 and is open to private EEA operators through SZTFH licensing, with entry priced at HUF 1bn share capital and a HUF 600m license fee plus 15% GGR tax and a 2.5% supervision fee, and a requirement of five years' licensed EEA online experience. Online casino is a different world: new entrants need a land-based casino concession, and as of late 2025 eleven of the twelve available concessions were already granted. So the honest read for an operator is that the betting door is open but expensive, and the casino door is effectively shut.
