Greenland

Licensed

Greenland has its own Act on certain games, under which the Danish Gambling Authority licenses online casino and betting for Greenland. Licences go to Danish licence holders or, as revenue-restricted licences, to operators resident or established in Greenland. Danske Spil offers the lottery, while gaming machines and charity lotteries fall under the Greenland police, and there is no land-based casino.
