Online casinos are legal in Greenland under the supervision of the Danish Gambling Authority (Spillemyndigheden). The regulatory framework for gambling in Greenland is divided between several authorities, with the Danish Gambling Authority overseeing online casino operations, land-based betting, online betting, and lottery services (1). This regulatory structure ensures that online casino activities operate within a controlled legal environment.
The legal gambling landscape in Greenland includes specific age restrictions and licensing requirements. All gambling operators must obtain proper licenses from the Danish Gambling Authority to provide online casino services in Greenland. Additionally, operators are required to comply with language requirements, ensuring that certain information is made available to players in both Danish and Greenlandic languages (1).
"Generally, it is not legal for suppliers to take bets from children under 18 years of age although land-based games are allowed for children above 16 years of age."
The regulatory oversight extends to various aspects of gambling operations, including anti-money laundering measures and player protection protocols. The Danish Gambling Authority maintains strict supervision over online casino operations in Greenland, while local police authorities handle licensing and supervision of gaming machines and charity lotteries (1). This comprehensive regulatory approach ensures that online casinos operate legally and safely within Greenland's jurisdiction, providing players with legitimate gambling options under proper government oversight (2).
