Gambling

Despite an increasingly large number of states’ decision to legalize various types of gambling, Georgia still considers all but three types to be illegal. Georgia’s laws and statutes on gambling offer such a broad definition that betting on any event, game or occurrence is considered gambling. In fact, all forms of gambling in Georgia are illegal except for bingo, raffles and the Georgia lottery.
