Not Legal

By DawBets · Last verified: November 2026

Quick answer: Online sports betting is not legal in Georgia, but 9 CFTC-regulated prediction markets and 2 sweepstakes sportsbooks remain available under separate regulatory frameworks.

Licensed Sportsbooks

Not available. Online sports betting is not legal in Georgia. Requires a constitutional amendment. HR 450, which would have put sports betting to voters, failed in the House 63-98 on March 6, 2026, short of the 120 votes needed. The 2026 session ended without legalization, so 2028 is the earliest a referendum could reach the ballot.
