We are Iceland’s first dedicated online gambling review platform built specifically to help Icelandic players find safe, tested, and trustworthy online casinos. Our mission is simple: remove confusion, protect players, and make online gaming clearer and safer for everyone in Iceland.
Since launching in 2022, we’ve become a go-to resource for players who want real information, honest testing, and practical advice.
While playing online casino games for many years, our team realized something important:
Icelandic players lacked a reliable, locally friendly source of information about online casinos.
Regulations are confusing, foreign casinos don’t always communicate clearly, and many players misunderstand how deposits, withdrawals, and bonuses really work.
We built this website to fix exactly that.
Everything here is written from real experience, real testing, and real Icelandic gaming scenarios.

Hi, I’m Jon, and I’ve been reviewing online casinos since long before we launched this site. What started as a hobby — trying new casinos, comparing games, and analyzing payment systems — eventually became a full-time passion.
I love discovering:
Which casinos actually pay fast
Which ones hide fees
Which ones offer stable support
And which ones are worth recommending to real Icelandic players
When I’m not testing casinos, I’m usually traveling and spending time in Iceland — soaking in hot springs, enjoying nature, and finding inspiration for this site. My goal is to help you avoid bad experiences and enjoy the best ones.
Online Casino Iceland is run by a team of 5 specialists, including:
Casino testers
Payment and fintech analysts
Content researchers
Review writers
Data and UX analysts
We combine practical testing with data-based evaluations to give Icelandic players the clearest, most accurate picture of each casino.
Our testing methodology is built on the same one we use for our Kyrgyzstan platform — adapted here for Icelandic players.
Reputation Check
We analyze player complaints, international reviews, and industry history to identify any red flags.
Customer Support Testing
We personally test live chat, email, and phone support.
Response time and quality matter — especially if issues appear during withdrawals.
Game Library Review
We manually check which providers and games are actually available to Icelandic players.
Real Withdrawal Testing
We deposit our own money, wager, and attempt real withdrawals.
This reveals hidden fees, verification delays, and payout problems.
Terms & Conditions Audit
We read the fine print — unfair rollover rules, restricted payment methods, confusing bonus terms, and anything that could block your winnings.
License Verification
We only list casinos licensed by recognized regulators (Curaçao, Malta, etc.).
No unlicensed or black-market casinos.
Bonus & Promotion Analysis
Big bonuses mean nothing if the terms are unfair — we rate both attractiveness and fairness.
From our testing across 200+ casinos:
Fastest withdrawal: 31 minutes via e-wallet
Slowest withdrawal: 9 days (verification loop)
Most common complaint: Delayed verification when withdrawing
Worst support case: Casino responding after 48 hours
Best support case: Verified Icelandic player case resolved within 6 minutes
These insights help us create accurate recommendations based on real experiences, not ads.
We support safe and responsible gambling.
Online gaming should be entertainment — not a financial plan.
If you ever feel you’re losing control, stop immediately and seek help from official support resources.
Online Casino Iceland is funded through affiliate links.
This never affects our rankings or recommendations.
If a casino performs badly in our tests, we remove it — even if we earn nothing.
We always prioritize player safety.
To ensure accuracy, transparency, and trustworthiness, our reviews reference official regulatory bodies, independent testing organizations, and verified government resources. Below is a list of authoritative sources we rely on when evaluating online casinos.
