The Legal Basis for Expanding a Network of Betting Points
Expanding a network of branches and betting points in the Georgian gambling business is not a purely commercial decision: every step of that expansion sits inside the permit framework established by the Law of Georgia on Organising Lotteries, Gambling and Promotional Games. Under Article 7 of that law, the issuance of permits for organising gambling and promotional games and for supplying gambling games, the introduction of amendments to such permits, their revocation and the entry of the relevant data into the official permit registry are carried out by the Revenue Service, in accordance with the Law of Georgia on Licences and Permits and with the gambling law itself. In practical terms, this means that every new point, cash desk or branch you add to your network requires formalised communication with a state authority, and the way that communication is structured determines whether the expansion remains compliant.
The same article empowers the Revenue Service to verify the reliability of the documents submitted by a permit seeker and their compliance with the requirements established by the law. A network expansion plan should therefore be built from the outset around documentation that will survive verification at the level of permit conditions; otherwise each new outlet becomes a source of risk, and its opening may trigger fines and other permit-related measures.
