Gambling in the country

On December 1, 2024, new regulations will come into effect. The main innovation is the possibility for licensees to operate «offshore», i.e. to serve not only Georgian but also foreign audiences.

What's changing?

Dual licenses
Each license can now cover up to two domains. This will allow operators to create separate brands for local and international markets.
Expansion of the currency corridor
Previously, bets were accepted only in the national currency - lari. Now players will be able to bet in euros and US dollars.
Differentiated taxes
Operators focused exclusively on foreign players will receive more favorable tax conditions - the rate will be only 5% of gross gaming revenue (GGR). For those who work with the local audience, the rate remains at the same level - 15%.
Simplifying the procedure for online slots
The quarterly fee is abolished, significantly reducing the financial burden on operators.
Mitigation of requirements
The procedure for obtaining a license remains largely unchanged, but additional clarifications are introduced.

What does this mean for the industry and players?

The new rules will make the Georgian market more attractive for international companies, which will lead to an influx of investments and the creation of new jobs.

The number of online casinos is expected to increase, leading to more competition and, as a result, more lucrative offers.

Players will get more games, bonuses and promotions. Due to this Georgia can become a new center of online gambling in the region.
