Are there casinos in Georgia, and what is the minimum age?
Where casinos operate and the rules for foreigners.
Short answer
Yes, casinos are legal in Georgia, mostly in Batumi and Tbilisi and usually in large hotels. Foreigners may gamble from age 18, while Georgian citizens must be 25. Documents are checked at the door, so foreigners need a passport.
Why
- The age limits were introduced by amendments to the gambling law that took effect in 2022.
- The same amendments barred civil servants, welfare recipients and people on the self-exclusion register from gambling.
- Gambling advertising in Georgia is tightly restricted.
Details
Gambling carries the risk of losing money, so only play with what you can afford to lose. If gambling gets out of control, you can voluntarily add yourself to the self-exclusion register.
Tip
Bring your passport, as casinos won't let you in without ID.
What may differ
Age limits and entry rules differ for foreigners and Georgian citizens.
