Casinos in Iceland
Iceland has no casinos. The history of gambling in Iceland is filled with changing laws and regulations, and although more and more forms of gambling are being legalized in Iceland, casinos and casino style games have never been allowed. In fact, the only casino-style game that can be legally played in Iceland for real money is the slot machine. Icelandic slots have been permitted since 1994, but only limited licenses have been provided. Some of the organizations that can legally offer slots are the Red Cross and Icelandic Rescue Squad. These organizations use profit from slots as a primary source of income.

Online Casinos in Iceland
Just as Iceland does not offer any land casinos, there are no online casinos in Iceland either. While the government does provide licenses to companies that allow them to offer online gambling in Iceland, casino-style sites have never been issued licenses. This might change some time in the future, but until that happens, players in Iceland can try using foreign internet casinos. There are hundreds of these on the internet, and many will accept Icelandic players. The primary language for many foreign online casinos will be English, but they nonetheless provide a great way for players to play online casino games in Iceland.
