Last week, Irakli’s Gharibashvili, Prime Minister of Georgia, urged Georgi’s government to allow online casinos. According to him, 1.5 million Georgian Lari (about 460 million euros) are “exported” from the country every year through Internet casinos. He is also concerned that the country’s citizens, especially the younger generation, are gambling online and losing so much money.

He wants to say that the ban on online casinos in Georgi will go in two steps. First, there would be much more taxation of the activity, and complaints about online gaming would also be forwarded to bands. In addition, he wants to extend his life to 25 years and older to gamble. He is no doubt planning a total bet on online casinos in Georgia.

A sudden change of opinion

This announcement will be called as soon as possible. Georgi was the first to understand the importance of online casinos and the iGaming industry in general. So Irish bookmaker Flutter brought in another $122 million to take over 51 percent of local bookmaker Adjarabet. Initially, you could believe that the online casino market in Georgia would grow rapidly.

The main reason why Georgi’s prime minister is now so hostile is due to social and economic problems the country is currently struggling with. The vast majority of the country’s inhabitants are armed, unemployment is high, and many young people lose their money every day.

As governor of the country, Irakli Gharibashvili wants to find a modern solution that will not endanger Georgi’s economy. He realizes that, in his opinion, this drastic measure is now necessary.

According to the Prime Minister, the sale of psychoactive drugs would be drastically reduced. According to him, these narcotics and the online casino industry are the biggest problems facing Georgi’s younger generation.

Perhaps counterproductive as a measure.

The physical measure in Georgi to restrict online would backfire, though, which creates the possibility that gamblers will look for illegal sites to continue gambling online.

However, it should be stated in advance that only the applicable measures will initially be applied. It will be at least two years before online gambling is fully legalized, and the government has no time to think of a different approach. Hopefully, the backlash can be avoided somehow.

Comments

Every member of the Georgian cabinet agrees with the minister’s recommendations in general. Ana Dolidze, the leader of the For People party, responded that it is a good initiative to regulate internet casinos. Authentically, they posted the comment that Garibashvili is doing many great things, but he is not following through on them.

Levan Ioseliani, a member of the Civic Party, also opposes the minister’s decision. President’s According to him, it is unlikely that the most powerful companies will gamble in a distant country.

conclusive

Fortunately, our country is well regulated. The online casino industry has been legalized, even though this has led to a significant increase in gambling addicts. It is also important to remember that things will not be as simple as in the United States in a country like Georgi, and internet gambling will be common knowledge within a short time.
