Malta Questions Hungary on Gambling Reforms

Hungary's gambling reforms are drawing questions from Malta, who's submitted a detailed opinion on the matter that asks questions related to term changes.

Hungary is in the process of overhauling its gambling industry by ending the current state-run monopoly for betting. It would allow for businesses in the EU to apply for licenses in the country, but this has caused Malta to raise questions about the verbiage in the change.

Malta asked about a provision that would exclude operators that "have organised gambling without a licence in an EEA State during the ten years preceding the application."

Malta also asked about how the country would update tech and IT rules from existing laws, as the verbiage in the overhaul doesn't address this.

It's unsure how Hungary will respond or whether it will change some of the rules in its overhaul.
