The market

A closed market is about to open.

For years, Hungary's online casino market has been one of the most closed in Europe, with only a handful of licences and no room for international operators.

That is changing. Following the shift in political power, Hungary has committed to overhauling its gambling legislation and moving towards an open, competitive licensing system. A new era for online gaming in Hungary is arriving, and the question is no longer if, but when.

When applications open, the operators who are already prepared will be first to launch, and first to win Hungarian players. The preparation starts now.

Done before

We built Hungary's first licensed online casino.

Our team conceived, licensed and launched Vegas.hu, Hungary's first licensed online casino, and grew it into a household name with half of the local market. Several licensed Hungarian online casinos have followed.

We took it from a blank page through licensing, technology, certification, payments, marketing and a 75-person team, including ISO 27001 certification and a proprietary live dealer studio.

That means we know the Hungarian player, the regulator's expectations, and what works and what doesn't in this market, from experience rather than theory.

What we know first-hand

  • How Hungarian licensing works in practice, and how long it really takes
  • Which games, bonuses and payment methods Hungarian players actually use
  • Which marketing channels convert, and which waste budget
  • How to build a local brand Hungarians trust
  • The mistakes that delay launches, and how to avoid them
