Customer service is an essential factor in online gambling. Even more so for beginners. The quality of customer service is really a steady indicator of the general quality of any given provider. This is even more important for smaller markets like the Hungarian. Has the casino where you want to play invested into Hungarian speaking human resources? If they take seriously the market, they should have. All of the online gambling websites featured on our website offer Hungarian customer service. Some of them (like Unibet and bet365) 24/24h, others in a more restricted time-frame (like EnergyWin or Cadabrus). But form an English-speaking point of view, you can be certain that customer service will be there to answer your questions and treat your problems in English 24 hours a day. There is never shortage of English speaking human resources in the customer services of any serious online casino provider.

Responsible gaming is a fundamental aspect in online gaming. There is little to no difference whether you are playing from Hungary or from Singapore. You need to have a disciplined, adult approach. You are not playing casino games to become rich, you play it for the entertainment, the fun factor. The only way to stay relaxed – and you need to stay relaxed if you wanna have fun – is to set yourself daily, weekly and monthly limits to play with. Just as you have your weekly and monthly limits for the pub, the cinema or restaurants. Make sure you never spend more than you can afford to lose. You definitely don’t want to risk to lose the money that cover your basic needs, let alone that of your family. If you have children, you must think first and utmost of them and their everyday needs. Thank you for always playing in a responsible way. For the sake of fun as well.

No, it is not possible. Only very few dodgy ignorant beginners think they can abuse of any bonus type. Nevertheless, there are players who are capable playing with extremely disciplined strategies that allow them to make profits out of playing. But that is not ripping off, that is taking risks in a very mindful, calculated way. Even though as said such players exist, we would not encourage anyone considering the activity of playing online casino games as a source of revenue. Most people, most of the times lose. If it weren’t like this, online casinos would go bankrupt. Every online casino game is run by a software. Every software includes a Random Number Generator (RNG), that is set up in a way that the game provider and gambling operator have a margin/profit at the end of the day. Every single game has a ‘Return to player’ (RTP) ratio that indicates the percentage of real money that will be returned in average to the players who play with that game. Most of the times RTP is set somewhere between 92 and 99%. Some games will have a lower RTP (a bit more profit for the provider), other games might have a very high RTP, with more wins to the players. You can check the RTP of each single game in their info section before starting to play.

Even though Live Casino is a big thing ever since its first appearance in online casinos, there are still only a handful developers whose products can be used by the players. One thing is certain: there are no local versions of Live Casino games. Which means there are no Hungarian speaking live dealers, you will always be directed to English speaking live „rooms”. Live casino remains popular though and most Hungarian players use them for the classic casino games such as Roulette and Blackjack.

There are certainly more online casino websites available than the ones featured on our website. So why do we not introduce those? The answer is simple: we only recommend those where at least 3 of our editors have played for at least 3 months. In this period the editors play independently from each other and do not share their experiences. Once all three editors have finished their three-month „trial”-period, they sit down and share with each other their experiences. After discussing and evaluating these shared experiences they democratically decide whether or not the brand deserves an in-depth review on our website. We are currently testing some more brands, you shall see them featured here if we believe they fulfill all the criteria of fun and safety that we think makes playing online casino games a relaxed experience for everyone.

Well, the Hungarian online casino market is not as open as, let’s say, the one in the UK. You do not have hundreds of brands to chose from. Only those are present in the market, who have a sufficiently big and strong legal department backing their operations. Nevertheless, some really big international operators, like Betsson or Bwin for example, have been present in Hungary and then have chosen to retire. So all in all there are only a few dozen brands present in the field, and only a handful of them have been present from the beginning (of the internet). In the last few years some new operators have entered the market offering to accept registrations from Hungary-based players. This is an interesting phenomena, and we advise to be careful with the less known names. As the editors of this website are hard-core players, we give it a spin in all of the new operators’ websites too, and we only pick those to showcase on this website who have met all our criteria of professional services that we would expect from an online casino opartator.

As a general rule, if you see a brand featured and tested within our website, they for sure accept registrations and deposits from Hungary-based players. However, every single brand has different restricted countries. We have set up a page where we try to show which brand is available in which countries – concentrating in first place on those European countries where Hungarian colonies are numerous. We advise you to check out our country-restrictions page if you are not from Hungary before going on to register with one or the other of the reviewed brands. Be aware, that different bonus options will be offered in each country.

The short answer to this question is: if you see the brand featured on our website, you can go on without worrying 🙂 The more scientific answer implies that online casinos have permissions to operate issued by national and international regulators. Since we are in the EU, the most relevant regulators should be of EU-origin. One of the most renowned regulator bodies is the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). Malta is a member of the European Union, and there is no secret to it that they offer very low tax rates for big tech companies, so most of the online casino operators are registered there anyway. Most of the brands present on the Hungarian Market possess an MGA license. Since the legal situation is somewhat messy in Hungary – due to non-EU-conform Hungarian online gambling legislation – even some non-MGA regulated brands started offering their online casino and sportsbook services to Hungary-based customers. Most of the times these brands are based and regulated in Curacao, a rather famous tax-paradise for tech-brands. In all honesty, theoretically, you are less assured when playing with such brands compared to MGA-regulated brands. However, practically, there is hardly any differences that a player would notice.

You must be resident of Hungary in order to register on the Hungarian website of the online gambling websites. Available bonus offers and even available games can vary for different countries, and providers take this very seriously in order to comply with the law and the regulations. So if you are a resident in Hungary (and you have a residential card to prove it), then you can go on to register, use the bonuses in offer and play for real money if you like. If you are happy to play just for fun (with no real money implied, then take a look at the free games available on our casino games page).

The best method is e-wallets. Like Neteller and Skrill for example, just to mention the most popular options. Depositing and withdrawing with these is really a matter of few seconds, and your privacy is also guaranteed. In 99% of the cases there are no fees to deposit or to withdraw with e-wallets, however keep in mind that your e-wallet supplier will take some commission when you withdraw your money from your e-wallet to one of your bank accounts. One way to avoid this fee, is to use a debit card issued by your e-wallet provider and use it for shopping. You might still have a yearly fee for  the debit card, but that is a minor amount usually (at Neteller €10 for example). Using Visa and Mastercard directly is also a viable option. Handling fees shall be zero, but handling times are slightly longer compared to e-wallets. In some cases it is not possible to withdraw your winnings with a debit card. In those cases the online casino providers make a bank transfer to your bank account associated with your debit card. So at the end of the day, no big difference for the player.

Whenever you login to your online casino account, all your activity is encrypted by a so-called Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. SSL is a cryptographic protocol that serves the authentication of internet connections and to enable data encryption and decryption. The SSL certificate is provided by the most trusted SSL certificate authority: Verisign. SSL technology not only protects (enrypts) your privacy data that are stored on the gambling website’s servers, but also your payments. These conditions are strictly checked on yearly basis by the national and international online gambling authorities.

Most of the gambling websites available for Hungarian customers are licensed by the Malta Gambling Authority (MGA), probably the most common regulatory body for online gambling in the EU. Others are regsitered in Curacao, a popular choice as well for online casino operators.

Random Number Generators are softwares that spit out numbers randomly. They are not exclusively used in online gambling, but for sure, every online casino game is linked to a RNG software. Automatized gambling wouldn’t even be possible without this technology.

VPN (Virtual Private Network) is definitely a useful tool that makes your online activity more secure in general. Some browsers offer to enable VPN for free, but we recommend to use a VPN app that encrypts basically all data coming in and leaving your computer/cellphone/tablet. VPN services cost 20-30 euros per year (or even less), and usually with one subscription you can have up to 10 devices protected. Nevertheless, some online services do not like VPN. For example Netflix. They will simply not let you login, let alone watch movies whilst you have your VPN activated. Online payment providers like Neteller will not let you login and make transactions with VPN enabled. When it comes to online casino websites, you will be able to visit the website whilst your VPN is enabled. However, since the bonus offers and even the available games are subject to the specific country you reside in, online casinos do not like it when someone tries to register using VPN. Online casinos need to know where you are from also in order to prevent fraud. So we suggest you disable your VPN for the time of registering. There is anyway the SSL technology that encrypts your data. At the end of the day, once you have registered, most online casino operators will not mind you logging in and playing with your VPN activated.

Return to Player (RTP), or also called ‘Payout Percentage’ is an indicator of the chances of winning. Every single casino game has an RTP indicator, and this must also be stated at the game’s introduction section. Most of the times you will see the RTP stated straight away at the bottom of the intro screen of the game. In other cases you may need to click on the info menu to see it stated. Of course the RTP needs to be somewhat under 100%, otherwise the operator would not make any profits. The typical RTP is between 98 and 92%, some games have even lower returns than 92%, and some even higher than 98%. And of course the RTP is an average indicator: if you play with 10 Euros, and win 30 Euros on that game, then the RTP has been 300%. Your 20 euros of gain are then financed by other player’s losses. All in all, when the RTP of a game is at 97%, that means that on every 100 Euros that players deposit, the operator will make 3 Euros. So always aim to play with games that have a higher RTP indicator.

Obviously the more established and reputed an online gambling provider is, the more certain you might be that your safety and privacy is in good hands. This is why the presence of Unibet (launched in 1999) and bet365 (in 2000) is so valuable for the Hungarian players. But providers such as EnergyCasino (2013) or LvBet (2015) are also amongst the best reputed brands where tens of thousands Hungarian customers enjoy playing.

Another aspect that should generate trust are the online casino awards, such as Global Gaming Awards, EGR Awards, IGA Awards and the Global Regulatory Awards, just to mention the most prestigious ones. Most of the providers featured on our website are multiple winners of these rewards. And those who have not yet received such awards, we believe there is good chance they will one day (rather sooner than later).
