Online casino

Icelandic law completely prohibits commercial online casinos.

The state does not issue licenses and does not allow private operators to enter the market.

The only forms allowed are online lotteries and charity raffles run by registered organisations.

Despite this, some players use offshore sites, access to which is not formally blocked, but such platforms operate outside legal protection: winnings are not guaranteed, and disputes are not regulated.

Public authorities regularly remind of risks and promote the concept of responsible play as a social norm rather than commercial entertainment.
