Georgia has moved its international iGaming licensing regime from pilot to full rollout. Regulator Random Systems Georgia (RSG) confirmed the transition after launching the pilot in July 2026. The first licensees are preparing to go live.
The regime covers licensing, corporate banking, payment services, fintech, compliance and BPO services for international iGaming companies. Licences run for five years. Operators gain access to Georgian corporate banking and payment processing under MCC 7995. GGR tax is set at 5%, with a 1% regulatory levy. Total revenue load comes to 6% plus an annual permit. Reinvested profit is exempt from corporate tax. Onboarding is remote; no physical office in Georgia is required.
Parliament approved licences for online casino, slots and sports betting aimed at international audiences. The regime is ring-fenced from Georgia's domestic market, with Georgian citizens barred from participation. Georgia International Strategic Group (GISG) has promoted the programme since September 2026. Target regions include Western Europe, Asia, the CIS and Central Asia.
Georgia is building on Tbilisi's iGaming infrastructure, where software providers, game studios, live casino operations and contact centres already operate. Spribe, SmartSoft, Evolution Gaming, Flutter, Entain and Betsson maintain a presence in the country. In July, RSG supervisory board member Vakhtang Katamadze said Georgia had the foundation for an international regime but needed to prove compliance with regulatory standards. Banks are already onboarding operators, and the regulator responds to applications within days. GISG said new changes to the terms may appear in October 2026.
