Fact-checker: law, responsible gambling and terms and conditions
Helga is Iceland Casino's fact-checker for law, responsible gambling and casino terms. She checks legal statements against the law texts published on althingi.is, quoting the article and paragraph, and confirms every helpline number on the organisation's own website before it goes on a page. She writes the site's guides to Icelandic gambling law and to help, limits and self-exclusion, and reviews the casino pages for wording that could mislead, such as any suggestion that a foreign casino is licensed in Iceland or that winnings are untaxed.
