Online Casinos in Greenland 2026

Is online gambling legal in Greenland?

Yes, with the right operator. Greenland has its own gambling act, the Danish act on certain games for Greenland. An operator must first obtain a regular Danish online-casino licence from Spillemyndigheden (valid for five years) and then apply for an extraordinary permit to market and offer gambling in Greenland. Supervision is shared between Spillemyndigheden and the Greenlandic police. As a player you are not punished for playing, but you only get legal protection and tax-free winnings on sites with the Greenland permit.

The double licence: Danish licence + Greenland permit

This double requirement is why our list is shorter than a typical Danish casino guide. Many operators hold a Danish licence, but far fewer have also secured the Greenland permit. Operators must additionally provide permanent player information in Kalaallisut (Greenlandic) and comply with local consumer rules. We cross-check every name against Spillemyndigheden's register and remove any operator whose Greenland permit lapses.

Greenlandic casino sites vs. Danish casino sites

People often search for a "Greenlandic online casino", but there is no separate Greenlandic licence for online casinos. The sites that may legally serve players in Greenland are Danish-licensed operators that also hold the Greenland permit. According to Spillemyndigheden's register, 14 of about 40 Danish online casino licence holders had that permit in November 2026. So a casino can be fully legal in Denmark and still not be allowed to offer its games in Greenland.

The permit is given to the company, not to a single brand, so every casino a permit holder runs is covered. If a domain is not listed under a company marked "Licensed in Greenland" in the register, treat it as not legal to use from Greenland.

What to check before you sign up

• The licence. Look the operator up in Spillemyndigheden's register rather than trusting a logo in a site's footer.
• The age limit. The legal minimum is 18, but some operators set it higher. Royal Casino and Kapow Casino require you to be 21.
• The bonus terms. Check which games count towards wagering, the maximum stake, any cap on winnings and how long you have.
• Withdrawals. Check which methods you can withdraw to. Several casinos pay out only to the NemKonto linked to your MitID.
• Mobile use. Most people in Greenland go online by phone, so make sure the site works well on yours. The casinos we have tested run in the browser, and most have no app to download.

Casino bonuses in Greenland

Bonuses at Danish licence holders follow strict rules. Wagering is capped at 10x deposit + bonus, and you get at least 60 days to complete it. If you deposit DKK 1,000 and receive a DKK 1,000 bonus, you must wager DKK 20,000 before the bonus money can be withdrawn. Free spins usually come with a deposit requirement, a fixed value per spin and a cap on what you can win. A bonus does not change the odds of the games, and most players lose money over time.

Tax-free winnings

Winnings from operators licensed to offer gambling in Greenland are 100% tax-free for players in Greenland — including winnings from bonus money — because the operator pays a levy to the Danish state (Greenland Income Tax Act § 34(16)). You never report these winnings to the tax authorities. This does not apply to unlicensed sites: winnings from unlicensed foreign casinos can be taxable and carry no player protection.

Payment methods for players in Greenland

MobilePay is the fastest and most popular option for players in Greenland and works for deposits at almost every Danish licence holder; MobilePay withdrawals are offered by some casinos only. Bank transfers to a NemKonto take 1–3 business days. Dankort, Visa, Mastercard, Trustly and Apple Pay are widely accepted, though some e-wallets may be unavailable from Greenland. You can compare methods in detail on our payment-methods guide (in Danish).

How we rank Greenlandic online casinos

Every review is based on real testing across six weighted pillars: safety and licence, bonuses, game selection, payments, customer support and the mobile experience. We create an account, complete verification, deposit funds, test the bonus terms and contact support before scoring.

Responsible gambling in Greenland

Gambling should be entertainment, not a source of income. Set limits for time and money before you start, and stop when it stops being fun. In Greenland, Allorfik provides free, confidential treatment for gambling addiction from five regional centres. You can self-exclude from every Danish-licensed casino at once through ROFUS.nu, and StopSpillet (+45 70 22 28 25) offers free, anonymous advice and takes calls from Greenland.
