The Gambling Company Zrt. has continuously shut off the money tap during the NER period

Since April 13, 2026, no new funding decisions have been made by Szerencsejáték Service Nonprofit Kft., indicating a halt in sponsorships that previously benefited various government-affiliated entities. The state-owned company Szerencsejáték Zrt. confirmed this change, which follows a leadership transition after the dismissal of former CEO Guller Zoltán. The new CEO, Sólyom Zoltán, has initiated a review of ongoing contracts. Concerns have been raised regarding the transparency of funding distribution over the past 12 years, particularly towards companies linked to the ruling party. The last sponsorship agreement was signed on April 9, 2026, totaling approximately 1.6 billion HUF, with a significant portion allocated to the Magyar Turisztikai Szövetség Alapítvány.
