Hungarian conquering online poker

Many online poker rooms are trying to get into the eastern European market for the last 3 years or so, but only recently there has been a significant rising in the Hungarian market.

Other than the fact that there are many poker players conquering the different poker tournaments including the WSOP with many bracelet winners, the EPT and others.

Maybe the success of so many Hungarian in the well known international poker tournaments is the reason, or maybe it’s the economy which has caused so many unemployed people looking for alternative ways of making money.
