Icelandic Language Poker Software

Norwegian Vikings and Celts of the British Isles settled the nation of Iceland in 870 AD. Icelandic is a Northern Germanic language related to Old Norse, the language of historical Viking sagas. Modern Icelandic speakers can read many 12th and 13th century Viking stories from Iceland in their original language due to the similarities between the languages. When Iceland was under Norwegian and Danish rule, those languages took precedence in Iceland. In 1944, Icelandic again became the official national and literary language under Iceland's new national independence.

Icelandic Language Online Poker Sites

It is rare for a poker site to offer Icelandic language play, though Icelandic players are welcome at several international poker sites. The only site that currently lists Icelandic as a player language option is PokerStars.

Icelanders familiar with Norwegian or Danish will find more poker game settings available in those related languages. Icelandic players are welcome to play in English or other languages at:

• Absolute Poker
• Full Tilt Poker
• Party Poker
• Ultimate Bet

Icelandic Friendly Deposit Options

Similar to the limitations in poker play, Icelandic friendly deposit options are not widely prevalent. PokerStars supports numerous deposit options, but most services will be offered in English. The best deposit options for Icelanders are Credit cards (Visa, MasterCard) and Secure e-wallet (NETeller).
