Summary
Iceland runs one of the most closed gambling markets in Europe. There is no licensing regime for commercial operators, domestic or foreign. Article 2 of the Lotteries Act No. 38/2005 allows gambling for money only under a specific Act of Althingi, and six operators hold one: Íslensk getspá (Lotto, Vikinglotto and EuroJackpot), Íslenskar getraunir (sports pools and the fixed-odds game Lengjan, sold online and in play), the University of Iceland Lottery (HHÍ, a class lottery plus gaming machines), the DAS and SÍBS class lotteries, and Íslenskir söfnunarkassar, a slot machine company now owned by the Red Cross and the rescue association Landsbjörg. Profits fund sport, disability, the university, elderly housing and rehabilitation. The authorisations for HHÍ, Getspá, DAS and SÍBS run to 1 January 2034. The Ministry of Justice administers the Act and supervises the statutory games through appointed supervisors and lottery councils. The District Commissioner for South Iceland licenses non-cash charity lotteries. None of the gambling Acts levies a gambling duty: winnings from the statutory games are exempt from all public levies, and HHÍ pays 20% of net annual profit, capped at ISK 150 million, as a licence fee. Online casino and poker are prohibited. Running lottery or betting activity in Iceland without a licence, or advertising a lottery not licensed in Iceland wherever it is run, carries a fine or up to six months in prison, a year if extensive or repeated. Iceland has no DNS or payment blocking. A 2022 report to the Minister, which the working group did not adopt jointly, cited an H2 Gambling Capital estimate of about ISK 5.7 billion in offshore sites' gross gaming revenue from Iceland in 2021 and proposed licensing online gambling. No bill is on the Government's plan for 2026 to 2027, but the Minister took lottery policy to the Cabinet in March and August 2026.
Common pitfalls
Iceland is often listed as banning sports betting outright. It does not: Íslenskar getraunir holds a statutory monopoly and sells fixed-odds betting, including in play, on its website. The rest of the market is closed by an express statutory bar on money gambling without a dedicated Act, not by omission, so there is no licence to apply for. The absence of DNS or payment blocking does not make offshore supply lawful: advertising an unlicensed lottery is an offence even when it is run abroad. Nor is there a gambling regulator in the European sense; the Ministry of Justice and a District Commissioner share the role.

Minimum age by vertical
- Land-based (reference): 18+
Advertising
- Advertising permitted
- Yes

- Penalties for breach
- Fine or up to six months in prison, or up to one year where the offending is extensive or repeated; companies can be fined (Lotteries Act, art. 11).

- Only games run under Icelandic law may be promoted. Advertising, promoting or passing on any information about a lottery not licensed under the Lotteries Act is an offence whether it is run in Iceland or abroad (Lotteries Act, art. 11(1)(b)).
- Advertising or promoting a licensed lottery commercially without the licensee's permission is punishable by a fine (art. 11(3)).
- While HHÍ operates, foreign lottery tickets may not be sold or advertised in domestic papers (Act 13/1973, art. 2).

- Payment blocking regime
- None. No Icelandic law requires banks or payment firms to block gambling payments. The 2022 working group chair proposed licensing offshore operators and giving the authorities powers to block the websites of, or ban payments to, those that did not apply; the incumbent operators proposed banning payment processing for illegal online gambling.
Enforcement
- ISP blocking
- No
- DNS blocking
- No
- Payment blocking

Penal Code arts. 183 and 184: fine or up to one year. HHÍ Act, art. 6: fine or up to two years. Sports Pools Act, art. 10 and Collection Boxes Act, art. 5: fines, with confiscation of equipment and funds under the latter.
- Operator liability
- Liability is criminal only; there is no administrative sanction regime and no gambling regulator with enforcement powers. The 2022 working group report found that Icelandic law has no specific provisions for dealing with illegal online gambling and that the activity of offshore sites is not supervised. No enforcement action against an online operator was found in the sources read.
- Player liability
- No provision read makes taking part an offence. Penal Code art. 183 targets those who make gambling or betting a livelihood or induce others to take part.

The 158th session of Althingi opens; the Government's legislative plan contains no gambling bill.
Outlook
No gambling bill appears on the Government's legislative plan for the 158th session (2026 to 2027), and none was introduced in the 157th. The Minister of Justice presented a comparison of the Nordic lottery markets to the Cabinet on 3 March 2026 and put lottery affairs on the Cabinet agenda again on 28 August 2026; no proposals have been published. The 2022 chair's report remains the most detailed official reform plan: a single Lotteries Act, licensing of online gambling, online play for the incumbents, player cards linked to electronic ID, a prevention fund and supervision by the Central Bank's Financial Supervisory Authority. The incumbent operators objected to it. The authorisations for HHÍ, Íslensk getspá, DAS and SÍBS expire on 1 January 2034, so Althingi must act before then.
Frequently asked questions
- Can a foreign operator obtain an Icelandic online gambling licence?
- No. Gambling for money may be run only under a specific Act of Althingi naming the operator (Lotteries Act, art. 2(2)). The only administrative licence is for non-cash lotteries by EEA-established bodies raising funds for public benefit in Iceland.
- Is online sports betting legal in Iceland?
- Only through Íslenskar getraunir, which has the sole right to sports pools and runs the fixed-odds game Lengjan and in-play Lengjan beint, including on its website. Other betting on sport needs specific statutory authority (Act 59/1972, art. 10).
- Who regulates gambling in Iceland?
- The Ministry of Justice administers the Lotteries Act and supervises the statutory operators through appointed supervisors and lottery councils. The District Commissioner for South Iceland issues lottery licences, and the Directorate of Internal Revenue supervises licensees for anti-money laundering.
- Is it an offence to advertise offshore gambling sites to Icelandic players?
- Yes. Advertising, promoting or passing on information about a lottery not licensed in Iceland is punishable by a fine or up to six months in prison, a year if extensive or repeated, whether the lottery is run in Iceland or abroad (Lotteries Act, art. 11).
- Are gambling winnings taxed in Iceland?
- Winnings from the statutory operators are exempt from all public levies under their Acts. Other lottery, betting or competition winnings are taxable income, except low-value winnings in general lotteries and competitions (Income Tax Act, art. 7 A(4)).
- Is Iceland planning to open its online market?
- Not on current evidence. A 2022 report to the Minister proposed licensing online gambling, but no bill is on the Government's plan for the 2026 to 2027 session. Lottery affairs were before the Cabinet in March and August 2026, and the main authorisations expire on 1 January 2034.
