Georgia Sports Betting Overview

Multiple 2024 legislative efforts failed. Constitutional amendment likely needed.

Georgia has no legal sports betting framework as of 2025. Multiple 2024 legislative efforts (most notably SR 579) failed to advance. The state constitution restricts most gambling, and a constitutional amendment requiring 2/3 legislative approval plus a public vote would likely be required for any meaningful change. Pro sports teams have publicly lobbied for legalization without success.
