A wave of new MGA-licensed casinos is targeting Nordic players
Several new operators have launched with Nordic-focused sites this autumn. We look at what that means for players in Iceland.
This autumn has seen an unusual number of new casino launches aimed at the Nordic market, most of them licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority. Several accept players from Iceland from day one.
Why the Nordics?
Nordic players are attractive to operators: high internet use, strong trust in online payments and a taste for both casino games and sports betting. Iceland is a small market, but it usually gets included in Nordic launches.
Should you try a new site?
New sites often launch with generous bonuses, but they have no track record. We only list new brands after testing deposits, withdrawals and support ourselves — check our new casinos page for the ones that made the cut.
