Is sports betting permitted online?
No. And Georgia – a state where there is strong opposition to all forms of gambling – won’t regulate any time soon.
Is there any specific legislation for daily fantasy sports?
No. A bill failed last year, but lawmakers are attempting again in 2018.
What legislation, if any, is currently pending?
Ongoing DFS regulation, and continued debate about legalizing land-based casinos in the state.
