Key facts

In September 2026, Parliament withdrew from the SZTFH its power to manage gambling concession contracts. The Magyar government announces the abolition of the SZTFH and the distribution of its tasks among other institutions (government resolution of 31 August 2026: legal review, report of the Minister of Justice expected on 30 September 2026). The casino concessions granted before the election (up to 35 years) are under re-examination, and Hungarian courts have ruled the concession system, online casino included, contrary to EU law. SZTFH register unchanged as at 23 September 2026 (LVC Diamond, 3 domains): unstable framework, to be monitored.

Offshore sites

Illegal: SZTFH orders the blocking of unauthorised sites and restricts offshore advertising.
