INSIDECASINO.USWhat does Georgia law say about online casinos?
Georgia's gambling offenses are in Title 16, Chapter 12 of the state code. Georgia has not passed a law that licenses online casinos.
Who regulates gambling in Georgia?
We did not confirm a Georgia agency with authority over online casinos, because the state does not license them.
Are offshore casinos legal in Georgia?
Offshore casinos hold no Georgia license, so no Georgia agency checks their games, payouts or complaints.
Are sweepstakes casinos legal in Georgia?
Georgia has no statute that names sweepstakes casinos. An annotation in the state code cites a 1972 Attorney General opinion treating lottery-like sweepstakes schemes as illegal. Federal courts in Georgia dismissed three suits without ruling on whether these sites are legal, so the question is open.
What are the rules in another state?
Each state sets its own online casino rules. Pick a state to see its status, its regulator and the date we last checked it.
