Georgia’s parliament is considering legislation that would create a dedicated licensing regime for online gambling operators targeting foreign customers, in a move that could lead to the country becoming an international gambling hub.
Under the proposal, initiated by members of the ruling Georgian Dream party, lawmakers would introduce three new, five-year permit categories covering online casino, internet slots and sports betting services. These would be aimed exclusively at foreign players, GBC said.
Georgian citizens would be prohibited from accessing the platforms. Operators that secure a license would be required to conduct their activities through dedicated domains. Permits would carry an annual fee of GEL100,000 [$37,800].
