Online gambling in Georgia is legal for permit-holding operators. The 2022 reform raised the age limit to 25, sharply restricted advertising and set up a state list of people who may not gamble.
Local operators
Adjarabet, Crocobet, Crystalbet and the rest work in lari, take TBC and Bank of Georgia cards and verify identity. Their promotions mostly appear inside the account: free spins, tournaments, cashback.
Offshore casinos
Vavada, Drip, Lex, Monro, 1GO, 22Bit and BC.Game offer large opening packages, often paid in crypto. The trade-off is no Georgian protection: only the regulator in CuraΓ§ao or Anjouan hears a dispute.
Playthrough in numbers
A $100 bonus at 40x means $4,000 in stakes. On a 96% RTP slot the expected cost is around $160, more than the bonus, which is why the multiplier matters more than the banner.
β Questions and answers
Yes, with operators holding a Georgian permit: Adjarabet, Crocobet, Crystalbet, Betlive, EuropaBet, LiderBet and others. Since March 2022 Georgian citizens may play from 25; foreign nationals from 18.
People under 25, civil servants, socially vulnerable citizens, anyone restricted by a court and anyone who asked for self-restriction. By 2023 that list covered over 1.45 million people.
Vavada, BC.Game, 22Bit and other offshore sites hold no Georgian licence. Their bonuses are bigger, but the Georgian self-restriction list, age checks and local dispute handling do not apply there.
A licensed Georgian operator withholds tax on withdrawals itself. Offshore casinos withhold nothing; declaring a large win is a question for a tax adviser.
