iGaming License - Obtaining an International Permit in Georgia

Since 2026, it has been possible to obtain an international permit in Georgia for online casino, slots and sports betting, designed for serving foreign players. Justice League provides end-to-end legal support: from business model analysis and company incorporation through to obtaining the permit, and beyond the launch of operations.

The international permit is issued without a land-based venue and is viewed as an alternative to offshore licenses. We see it as a well-regulated export base that gives operators a legal, transparent and predictable structure in Georgia.

The International Permit: Key Terms

• Three verticals: online casino, online slots and online sports betting. Each requires a separate permit;
• Foreign players only: participation by citizens of Georgia is prohibited;
• No land-based venue: the permit is not tied to a casino, slot machine hall or betting shop;
• Permit fee: GEL 100,000 per year for each permit, with no gambling business levy;
• Taxation: 5% of GGR; withdrawals by foreign players are not taxed;
• Term: the permit is issued for 5 years, and the licensing procedure takes 20 days.
