Digital application for a lottery licence
It is now possible to complete an application for a lottery license in digital form.
Generally, a licence from the District Commissioner is required to operate a lottery, except when the law stipulates otherwise. The most common types of lotteries include ticket lotteries, scratch-ticket lotteries, bingo and tomboys.
The District Commissioner of the Southern Region grants licences for lotteries nationwide if the sales value of tickets issued exceeds 2 million ISK, while licensing for lotteries below this amount shall be granted by the District Commissioner in each district.
