How to check an online casino’s Hungarian licence: a practical example

Before using an online casino from Hungary, check its legal status against the official register maintained by the Supervisory Authority for Regulatory Affairs (SZTFH). A Hungarian-language website, a foreign licence or an accessible deposit page does not by itself prove that the operator holds a Hungarian online-casino licence. Start with the exact domain in your browser. Then identify the operator’s legal name in its terms, open the SZTFH public licence register and look for a clear match between that operator, the licensed activity and the domain. Record the date of your check. If the register is unavailable, repeat the check later instead of treating a failed search as proof of anything. As a worked example, this Hungarian-language guide explains the status check for 1win and says that its Hungarian online-casino licence could not be confirmed on the date stated there: https://1winmagyarorszag.online/1win-magyar-engedely/ . The primary source remains the SZTFH register: https://sztfh.hu/nyilvantartasok/engedelyek-kozhiteles/ . Check the official record yourself because the status can change. A missing confirmed licence is a material warning for players. It can affect access, payments and the options available if a dispute arises. Before any deposit, also review withdrawal rules, identity checks, limits and complaint procedures. Set a budget and time limit that you can afford.

This post is an explanation of how to check status, not a recommendation to gamble or a claim that 1win is licensed in Hungary.
