Panel Questions

Online lottery in Hungary: questions

Which lottery sites accept players from Hungary?

We list the lottery sites we rank whose terms accept players from Hungary, in order of our score. A site whose terms exclude Hungary is left out. Sites change their country lists, so check again when you sign up. How we score sites is on how we rank. Players elsewhere can find their market on the lottery sites by country page.

Is it legal to play the lottery online from Hungary?

The gambling law we hold for Hungary is Act XXXIV of 1991 on the organisation of gambling (1991. évi XXXIV. törvény). We have not verified a rule on buying lottery tickets from sites abroad for Hungary yet, so check the law where you live before you buy. Hungary's lottery governing law is 1991. évi XXXIV. törvény a szerencsejáték szervezéséről (Act XXXIV of 1991 on the organisation of gambling). Our guide on how to buy lottery tickets online explains the general steps and checks.

How old do I have to be to play online in Hungary?

The minimum age for online gambling in Hungary is 18. In our records, the minimum online gambling age in Hungary is 18. The Hungarian tax authority states that cash winnings from the licensed lottery are tax-exempt and need not be declared. Prize tax rules differ by country, and our guide to tax on lottery winnings explains how to check them.

What currency will I pay in from Hungary?

Your local currency is the Hungarian Forint. Big foreign draws set their prices and prizes in their own currency: US dollars for Powerball and Mega Millions, euros for EuroMillions and Eurojackpot. If you pay in another currency, the exchange rate and any card conversion fee change what a line costs you.

Does the site I buy from change my odds?

No. The odds are set by the draw, not by the site. What differs between sites is the price per line and the fees, so compare those rather than the jackpot. Most lines win nothing; see responsible gambling for limits and help.

Who do I complain to if a site does not pay?

Every site we rank shows the licence it holds. A complaint about a payment or a prize goes to the site first, then to the body that licenses it, so check that licence before you deposit. Fake sites copy real brands, so our guide to lottery scams lists the warning signs to check first.

Set the spend before you pick the numbers.

Most lottery lines win nothing. Decide a monthly amount you can lose, and use the deposit limits on the site you play at.
