Overview

Online casinos are becoming more frequent each day. With so many options, picking a gambling site that has what you need and is reputable to boot can be challenging.

Because of that, our team came together and put our 20+ years of industry experience to good use. The result is a comprehensive yet straightforward rating and review system. With it, we can highlight the strengths and weaknesses of any website.

Using our system, you can make an informed decision on which Iceland-friendly online casino to pick. It covers what games, banking methods, customer service, and promotions are available on any particular site. Very helpful for narrowing down a place to play that suits your preferences.

How We Rate

Rating Criteria

Security

Unsurprisingly, security is at the top of our list. A secure website is the best place to play, as it lowers the chances of hacking and other unpleasantries. Security also covers if the gambling site has one or more licenses and if they have earned the approval of independent review bodies.

Fairplay

Fairplay is an essential part of online casinos. Licensed websites offer fair odds and reliable payouts due to regulator requirements. Gambling sites may also have third-party confirmation their games are fair. Additionally, crypto casinos have the Provably Fair mechanic, allowing you to confirm the fairness of every game round you play.

Payout

Casinos earn a good score for the payout section by offering excellent banking methods and fast processing times. The website must also be transparent with how long processing the transaction will take and what documents are required for a cashout.

Player Feedback

The best people to determine if a gambling site suits Icelanders are Icelanders themselves! When reviewing an online casino, we always look at player feedback and use it to decide on our final rating.

Support

Customer support is the frontline aiding your players if something goes wrong. Our best rated websites have support staff available 24/7. We also expect to be able to contact customer service using live chat and e-mail. Phone support nets the casino extra points.

Software

With regulated casinos, the most trustworthy gambling sites offer the highest quality games. These releases are made by well-known software providers, who also need regulatory approval to publish their releases. A website with good games is usually a trustworthy pick.

Banking

We always appreciate the convenience of having local banking methods. They are more convenient and usually signal support for the króna. The simpler it is to deposit and withdraw funds for Icelanders, the higher the online casino will be rated.

Mobile

More internet users browse the web using smartphones than personal computers. Because of that, mobile support for gambling sites is mandatory. Websites that allow us to play all the games and bonuses directly from the browser score highest with us. Dedicated apps are excellent but come with the extra hassle of downloading additional software.

Reputation

Online casinos live and die based on their reputation. Websites have no physical address; if a venue plans to be successful, it must win the loyalty of its members. We factor in the casino’s reputation before awarding our final score.

Games

Online gambling is all about entertainment. For a gambling site to keep you engaged, it needs to have many different games. Fewer titles and game types automatically drop the website’s entertainment value. When rating a casino, we check how many games it has, which software providers are present, and if they cover the most popular game categories.

Localization

Iceland is not a massive market for online casinos. That is why we appreciate operators that go the extra mile with localization. Adding the Icelandic language as an option opens the website up to more players, as it removes the barrier posed by English.

Promotions

Bonuses and promotions enhance your experience and allow you to try what a gambling site offers. Our team looks at the upfront offer and all the little details that come with it. We check if the terms are clear, the wagering requirements are reasonable, and if proper payout potential exists. Our score also factors in all promotions that come after the Welcome Bonus: reloads, free spins, tournaments, and loyalty programs.

FAQ

Our seal of approval is not for sale. We offer fair and impartial reviews for leading online casinos that accept players from Iceland. Earning the Seal of Approval requires meeting all requirements of our 12 stages review process with flying colours.

Licenses and regulations give a way to confirm a casino is fair and trustworthy. Having an active license means a gambling site earned the approval of that regulator. Because of that, we consider licenses one of the most vital things for an online casino to have.

Promotions can be great additions to a casino. However, they are temporary boosts. Because of that, we rate them lower than other criteria that have a more significant long-term impact.

First, we find an online casino we think might be attractive to Icelanders. Then, we do an in-depth review following our twelve required criteria to rank the website. Gambling sites with the highest percentile scores receive our Seal of Approval.

OCR has been in business for over twenty years, providing quality guides and impartial reviews. Our review processes are constantly evolving as we update them to keep up with changes in the iGaming industry.

For a website to earn a Seal of Approval, it must score highly in all twelve review criteria we test. An online casino that achieves this will display on our site as a trusted gambling site.
