1176 charsGeorgia's Parliament Receives Legislative Package on Gambling and Lottery Regulation Amendments
On April 8, 2026, the Georgian Parliament received a legislative package proposing amendments to Georgia's law on the organisation of lotteries, gambling, and games of chance.
The Ministry of Finance of Georgia initiated the legislative package as the author, with the Government of Georgia serving as the sponsor. The proposal aims to introduce changes to the existing regulatory framework governing gambling and lottery activities within Georgia's jurisdiction.
The legislative package has been registered with the Georgian Parliament's application programming interface (API) system and is now in the parliamentary procedure. Further details regarding the specific amendments proposed, their objectives, and the anticipated timeline for parliamentary consideration will emerge as the legislative process progresses.
Stakeholders in Georgia's gambling and lottery sectors should monitor the parliamentary proceedings for updates on this legislative initiative, as the amendments may impact licensing, operational requirements, and regulatory compliance obligations for operators and service providers in these industries.
