About Netspilavíti.is
Netspilavíti.is compares foreign online casinos for adult players in Iceland and explains how they work, what the law says and how to avoid the common problems. We are funded by affiliate commissions and say so.
What this site is
Netspilavíti.is is a comparison and information site about online casinos that accept players from Iceland. It is published in Icelandic, with this English edition for readers who prefer it. The site is written for adults aged 18 and over who have already decided to consider online casinos and want accurate information before they do.
What we do
We review casinos against a fixed set of criteria: licence and ownership, payment methods that work from Iceland, withdrawal terms and reported payout times, bonus terms, game selection, support and complaints history. The reviews are based on the casinos' published terms and policies, licence data and independent reputation records (Casino Guru, AskGamblers, Trustpilot) together with user reports; we do not open accounts or test deposits and withdrawals ourselves. We publish the results as comparison pages and individual reviews. Alongside those we maintain guides on choosing a casino, licences, wagering requirements, payments, withdrawals, safe play and the legal position in Iceland.
We update pages when facts change and show the date of the last update on every page.
What we do not do
We do not claim that any foreign casino is licensed or regulated in Iceland, because none is. We do not tell readers that gambling at foreign sites is legal, because the position is unregulated and readers should form their own view. We do not run "best casino ever" rankings, inflate bonuses or hide terms. We do not accept payment for reviews or ratings.
How we are funded
The site earns a commission when a reader registers or deposits at a casino through one of our links. This does not change what the reader pays. It does mean we have a commercial interest, which we set out in full in the affiliate disclosure. Our editorial policy explains how we keep that interest separate from what we write, and the corrections policy explains what happens when we get something wrong.
Who writes it
The site is produced by a small editorial team. Roles and the managing editor are described on the authors page.
Getting in touch
Questions, corrections and complaints about our content go to the address on the contact page. If gambling is causing you problems, SÁÁ, Spilavandi and the Red Cross helpline 1717 can help.
Frequently asked questions
Is Netspilavíti.is run by a casino?
No. We are an independent publisher. Casinos pay us a commission when a reader registers through our links, but they do not own the site, write its content or decide how they are rated.
Are the casinos you list licensed in Iceland?
No. Iceland does not license online casinos. Every casino listed reports a licence from a foreign regulator, which we name and check against regulator registers and independent review data where possible; where the licence is unclear, the review says so. Our laws page explains the position for Icelandic players.
How do you decide which casinos to include?
A casino must report a licence we can trace in regulator or regulator-linked data, not list Iceland as a restricted country as far as we can establish, offer a payment method that works from Iceland and have no unresolved pattern of payment complaints at the time of review. Commission rates do not affect inclusion or ranking.
Can I trust the information here?
We check facts against the operators' published terms, regulators' registers where accessible, and independent reputation data from Casino Guru, AskGamblers and Trustpilot, date each page, and correct errors when they are reported. We have not opened accounts or tested payments ourselves, and we say when something is uncertain rather than guess.
