Gambling addicts have had the opportunity to make significant self-restraint statements at the Hungarian Gaming Authority since January 1, 2016. More and more people are taking advantage of the opportunity and banning themselves from different types of addictive habit. So far, 150 people have requested this year to be banned from gambling at the Gambling Supervisory Authority.
As per the data from the Gambling Supervisory Authority, in 2016, 76 people had already requested the ban, but the number is increasing every year. In 2018, a total of 218 people restricted themselves from gambling. This year, 150 people have requested to be banned from casinos and arcades so far, compared to the 107 this time last year, so the trend seems to continue.
The Authority data also shows that the majority of those concerned opt for the longest ban of five years, but more and more people ask for short-term self-restraint as well.
