Online poker is legal in Greenland under a regulatory framework overseen by the Danish Gambling Authority, known as Spillemyndigheden (1). In Greenland, the supervision of gambling is divided between several authorities, with the Danish Gambling Authority supervising the supply of online casino, land-based betting, online betting, and lottery activities (1). The police in Greenland handle the licensing and supervision of gaming machines and charity lotteries separately from online gambling operations (1).
Gambling operators wishing to provide online poker services in Greenland must obtain proper licensing and comply with specific requirements tailored to the jurisdiction (1). License holders providing gambling activities in Greenland must ensure that certain information is available to players in Greenlandic, with all information that operators are obliged to make available in Danish also being made available in Greenlandic (1). To obtain a revenue-restricted licence for online casino or betting in Greenland, gambling operators are required to reside in or be established in Greenland (1).
"In Greenland, the supervision of gambling is divided between several authorities. The Danish Gambling Authority supervises the supply of online casino, land-based betting, online betting, and lottery."
The Danish Gambling Authority maintains comprehensive oversight of the gambling sector, ensuring the framework for fair play and responsible gaming practices (2). The Authority publishes statistics about the gambling market regularly and operates ROFUS, a self-exclusion register allowing individuals to exclude themselves from gambling activities (2). Players in Greenland accessing online poker services benefit from these consumer protection measures and the regulatory standards enforced by the Danish Gambling Authority, which also addresses anti-money laundering compliance and maintains strict licensing requirements for all operators serving the Greenlandic market.
