The Criteria: Three Layers, One Decision
“Georgia or a foreign jurisdiction” is not one question in the gambling business — it is a bundle of three distinct decisions: where your operating company sits, where the gaming product is licensed, and who owns the structure from the Georgian side. A sound comparison rests on four criteria: the target market and lawful access to it; the full cost of licensing — fees, capital requirements and substance; the availability and speed of the regime; and the function of the licence — market entry, or a credibility document for international partners (banks, payment processors, suppliers).
Every figure on this page is anchored in the official sources of the jurisdiction concerned — the regulators' own published materials. Where no official figure exists, that is said outright: the remaining details must be confirmed with the regulator. The Georgian layer rests exclusively on Georgian legislation — a foreign licence never substitutes for access to the Georgian market.
