Plan your Georgian gambling or gaming business with the permit, tax and operational requirements understood from the start. We help founders define the operating model and prepare the corporate and regulatory work it requires.
Define the gaming operation
Casino, sportsbook, slot and B2B software businesses can have different Georgian requirements. We help identify the proposed operator’s role, where customers will be located and the permit, tax and operational work needed for the project.
Prepare the company and permit work
- Ownership, beneficial-owner and management documents.
- Review of the Georgian permits required for the proposed gaming activity.
- Business, technical and operating documentation.
- AML/CFT, customer checks and responsible-gambling arrangements.
- Tax, continuing reporting and banking application planning.
Plan the commercial costs
We identify the permit charges, tax base, continuing fees and professional work relevant to the model before preparing a proposal. Permission to serve players in each intended market must also be considered as part of the launch plan.
Identify the operator before discussing a permit
Start with the legal entity that contracts with players, controls the gaming service and receives player money. A platform developer, payment intermediary and game operator can sit in the same commercial chain while performing different legal functions. Write down the responsibilities of each party before preparing the ownership and technical file.
| Area | Question | Record to prepare |
|---|---|---|
| Operator role | Who accepts players, holds balances and pays winnings? | Customer terms and the operating model |
| Games and products | Which games, betting or other services are offered? | Product list and technical descriptions |
| Player markets | Where will players be located and may they be served? | Market-by-market legal and commercial assessment |
| Technology | Who supplies the platform, games and hosting? | Contracts, system records and control arrangements |
| Customer controls | How are identity, eligibility and unusual activity handled? | Onboarding, monitoring and responsible-gambling procedures |
| Tax and costs | Which Georgian permit charges, taxes and continuing fees apply? | A model-specific financial calculation |
Calculate the commercial result from the correct tax base
Turnover, stakes, player balances, winnings and gaming revenue describe different amounts. The tax model must use the definition applicable to the particular activity. Reconcile the operational reports with the ledger and the bank or payment-provider settlements.
Prepare a forecast that includes regulatory charges, platform and game-provider fees, payment costs, staffing and tax. Show how refunds, cancelled bets and currency conversion are recorded. This gives management a useful launch budget and gives the accountant a clear explanation of the monthly figures.
Make continuing compliance part of the operating system
Assign responsibility for customer checks, complaints, regulatory reporting, accounting and system changes. Keep the evidence produced by those processes in an organised file. Review a new game, market, supplier or ownership change against the applicable requirements before adding it to the live business.
Discuss the next step
Tell us whether you will operate games, accept player funds or supply software, and list the markets you plan to serve.

What information is needed to assess a gaming project?
Identify the operator, games, target markets, ownership, platform suppliers and the parties holding player money. These facts determine the Georgian permit, tax and operating work to prepare.
How should overseas player markets be assessed?
Review the gambling, advertising and consumer requirements in each target market alongside the Georgian permit. Keep the market assessment with the launch plan and customer terms.
