Sports Betting in Iceland
Sports gambling is one of the few forms of gambling that is legal in Iceland. While the country does not allow casinos, poker halls, and many other forms of gambling, weekly sports pools have been legal since 1952. Then, in 1972, a basic sports lottery was introduced. These remain the only legal forms of sports betting in Iceland. There are no proper Icelandic bookmakers for placing fixed-odds bets on Icelandic or international sports matches and events. The main reason for this is that profiting from gambling, even indirectly, is illegal in Iceland.

Online Sports Betting in Iceland
Iceland also offers limited internet betting opportunities. The Icelandic Sports Web allows players to participate in the national sports lottery on the internet. However, beyond this no there are no online sportsbooks in Iceland. Players wishing to place fixed-odds bets at major sportsbooks for local and international events should use foreign online sportsbooks. These are sites hosted in other countries. Not all online sportsbooks will allow Icelandic players to join, but many sites do, and these sites are the best places for players in Iceland to bet on sports online.
