Scope and Legal Foundations of the Law
The first article of the Georgian Law on Gambling Games defines its subject: the law establishes the legal grounds for the organization and conduct of lotteries, gambling and profit-making games in Georgia, as well as for the supply of gambling and/or profit-making games. As a body of sectoral law it therefore covers games held at physical facilities, such as casinos, slot machine halls, gambling clubs and gaming halls; games organized through the internet, the telephone or specially equipped electronic means; and the supply of essential products and services that can influence the results of such games. If you intend to operate in this field, it is this law's conceptual apparatus that determines which activity falls under which permitting regime, and its definitions are applied consistently by the Revenue Service when examining permit applications.
