Gaming & Entertainment Industry

Our services include preparation of all required documentation and representation before the relevant authorities, including assistance with authorization procedures through the designated monitoring entity.
Gambling Business in Georgia – Overview
Gambling and games of chance and other prize games in Georgia are regulated by the Law of Georgia on Organizing Lotteries, Games of Chance and Other Prize Games.
These games are defined as games in which the result depends wholly or partly on chance. They are conducted using cards, dice (excluding backgammon), roulette, slot machines, casino or club tables, or other gaming equipment and offer participants the opportunity to win money.
This law regulates a range of game formats, including:
- Land-based and online casinos (systemic-electronic form)
- Land-based and online slot clubs
- Sportsbooks in land-based and electronic form
- Bingo and lotteries
The legislation outlines the procedures and conditions for obtaining gambling permits, technical and financial compliance standards, reporting obligations, and mechanisms for state oversight.
A key role is played by Random Systems Georgia, the sole authorized company responsible for supervising the gambling industry in coordination with the Revenue Service.
Any supply of gambling services whether to entities within Georgia (e.g., land-based casino or slot club) or to recipients abroad - requires a special supply permit. This process typically has two stages: first, Random Systems Georgia issues an authorization certificate confirming technical and legal compliance; then, based on this certificate, the Revenue Service grants the official supply permit.
