Georgia has launched international iGaming licenses for operators working with players outside the country. The system was launched in test mode back in July, and now banks, payments, and regulatory monitoring have gone live alongside licensing.

An international license is issued for five years. The main terms are a 5% tax on GGR and an additional 1% for regulatory monitoring. There is also an annual license fee of 100,000 lari (around $36k) for each category.

You can complete the entire application process remotely, with no mandatory office or staff required in Georgia. However, the license must be held by a legal entity registered in Georgia. Operators are also offered access to Georgian corporate banks and payment processing with gambling MCC code 7995.

Another feature is the local profit taxation model. As long as profits remain in the company and are reinvested, corporate tax is 0%; when profits are distributed, it is 15%.

The license is intended exclusively for the international market, and you cannot serve Georgian citizens under it. The CIS, Central Asia, and other foreign markets are specifically named among the regions Georgia is targeting.
