Payment methods: bank cards, Skrill, PayPal
Introduction: What's important to know in advance
Hungarian licensed operators support HUF and international payment methods with mandatory player identification (18 +) and AML/KYC checks. Regardless of the method, the rules of responsible play apply: deposit/time limits, "time out" and self-exclusion. Below is a comparison of the three channels in terms of speed, convenience and cost control.

1. Check the limits and commissions with the operator and the payment service.
2. Enable 2FA and place limits on deposits/time.
3. The coincidence of the full name in the payment and in the account is mandatory.
