Advertising Law – Frequently Asked Questions – FAQ

Is sponsorship allowed in Hungary?

Displaying the name, logo, product, or service of the sponsor of a public event is not considered disguised advertising provided that the media service provider has no business interest in such appearance and the manner of appearance does not give undue prominence to the sponsor.

Do games of chance need to be authorized in Hungary?

On the basis of the Gambling Act, no authorization is necessary to advertise games of chance. However, if a promotional contest is linked to the purchase of goods or services, the state tax authority – as supervising authority – must be notified at least ten days in advance.

When is notification not required in Hungary for promotions / games?

Notification is not needed for promotions not involving any purchase (e.g. only the filling out of a questionnaire). The participation must be free, because if the customer has to pay anything other than the value of the goods purchased to enter the contest of chance, it will qualify as gambling, and as such, must be authorized by the tax authority.

Does gambling need an authorization in Hungary?

Yes, it must be authorized by the tax authority.
