Faroe Islands

State monopoly

The Danish rules do not apply in the Faroe Islands, which legislate games of chance themselves. Føroya Tipping holds the exclusive right to sports betting and lotto. No licence exists for online casino and no land-based casino operates.

Low confidence. This record rests on thin sourcing and is queued for a primary-source check.
