Is online sports betting legal in Georgia?No, sports betting remains illegal in Georgia. Despite various efforts and legislative attempts in 2023, the prospect of legal sportsbooks in the state has not materialized.
On Monday, March 6, 2023, the Georgia Senate failed to pass Senate Resolution 140, which was intended to work in conjunction with Senate Bill 172 to formally legalize sports betting in Georgia. The Senate vote on SB 140 was 30-26, falling short of the two-thirds majority required for approval.
Back on August 11, 2022, Stacey Abrams, a candidate for Georgia's gubernatorial position, unveiled her proposal for legalized sports betting and advocated for a constitutional amendment to permit casinos in the state.
