Restricting Unlawful Transactions: Hungary's Actions
Let's dive into the latest crackdown on illegal gambling in Hungary ๐ฒ๐ฐ
The boys in green are getting tougher: Hungary's gambling regulator SZTFH, armed with a swanky new list of sanctions, is making good use of its newfound power.
In a nutshell: The new toys? Fines, blocks, orders, and restrictions. A primary target? Illegals, of course.
Time to feel the heat: From July 1, banks in Hungary will join the fight, blocking accounts linked to shady gambling operators nationwide. No more card games for those unlicensed operators, it seems.
SZTFH plans to collaborate closely with banks, imposing constraints on deposits and withdrawals to unlicensed online casinos' accounts. If a player tries to pay for services using a card, suppose their lucky day โ they'll be outta luck, mate, as attempts will be denied.
Warning, warning: Before you lose your chips or your shirt, double-check if an online casino is legit! Visit SZTFH's official registry of legal operators on their website to avoid any unwanted surprises.
Don't forget, it pays to play nice: Unlicensed operators will face the brunt of Hungarian law, while legal ones must grin and bear the strict regulations. Be wise and play only with licensed operators.
In the Hungarian gambling market, the shift towards the "white side" is underway, mostly thanks to SZTFH's activeness. But remember, illegals can't just snap their fingers and become good guys overnight. They'll either need to call it quits or find cunning ways to bypass the strict restrictions.
Enter the application era: The ending of the state monopoly on gambling doesn't mean a free-for-all. To secure a license, applicants will need more than just cash and enthusiasmโthey'll need at least five years of sector experience and be clean of any illegal gambling ties.
So there you have it. Hungary's gambling scene is getting a makeoverโwe'll have to wait and see if the newcomers can cope with the heat! ๐ฅ๏ธ

The Hungarian finance and banking industry is joining the crackdown on illegal gambling, effective from July 1, initiating account blocks for shady operators.
As the gambling market in Hungary evolves, only licensed operators will have the ability to participate, following strict regulations set by the SZTFH, including the requirement for at least five years of sector experience and a clean record of non-illegal gambling ties.
The gambling trends in this sector will continue to be influenced by the activities of regulatory bodies like SZTFH, as they work to drive the market towards legitimacy and away from illegal activities.
