Georgia is marketing its five-year International iGaming Licence to international operators as the first companies are about to open their businesses under the scheme. The Gambling Regulation Agency Georgia, which has been appointed by the government of Georgia to regulate gambling, has confirmed that the trial has been started. The agency began a trial three months ago and is currently implementing the iGaming Licence scheme. The scheme has been developed to attract international companies serving international audiences and does not allow Georgian citizens to use its services. The commercial proposal implies the five-year licence, access to Georgian commercial banking, and payment transactions using gambling MCC code 7995. Georgia International Strategic Group (GISG) started to promote the business in September, stating that the tax on gross gaming revenue is 5%, while the governmental monitoring fee is 1% and is presented as a whole 6% tax as well as an annual fee. The offer indicates also that no corporate tax applies to the reinvested profits. Companies wishing to obtain the license can do it from their office and are not obligated to have a physical office in Georgia. The next steps depend on the usage of the scheme by the companies. GISG also announced that further changes to operator terms could be announced in October 2026.
