## Full section analysis

Advertising of unlicensed or foreign gambling brands to Icelandic residents is prohibited. State operators conduct limited responsible marketing under oversight. Enforcement is weak in practice: the 2025 ministry reform proposal notes that media outlets face no penalties for promoting unlicensed gambling and that international betting advertisements reach Icelandic audiences through global media channels. Google and Meta treat Iceland as a restricted jurisdiction for gambling advertising. Affiliate marketing for offshore brands targeting Iceland is illegal.
