Online gambling in Georgia: what is legal
Georgia's only legal online gambling is the state lottery, which sells draw games and instant-style games online to players aged 18 and over. Sports betting, online casino games and online poker are not legal; a 2026 attempt to put sports betting to voters failed in the House on 6 March 2026. No state law bans or licenses sweepstakes casinos. The Georgia Lottery Corporation is the state's only gambling regulator.
