Georgia’s Gambling self-exclusion registry surpasses 30,000 registrants
This marks an increase of nearly 4,000 registrations since early May as system reforms streamline the enrollment process.
Key points:
– Registry growth attributed to simplified enrollment procedures that eliminate prior approval requirements
– Database includes 30,392 voluntary registrations and 59 court-ordered additions
– A five-year restriction period applies with limited removal options under Georgian law
Georgia’s Revenue Service has released updated statistics on the country’s gambling self-exclusion database, which now contains 30,451 registered individuals.
This figure represents an increase of approximately 4,000 people since early May.
The database comprises two categories of registrants. The majority consists of 30,392 individuals who voluntarily enrolled, while 59 people were added through court orders.
Revenue Service officials point to procedural changes as the primary factor behind the registration increase: the reformed system allows individuals to enroll without requiring prior approval.
In addition, the process incorporated biometric identification technology to maintain privacy standards and ensure data protection. According to the Revenue Service, the system provides a confidential and secure method for individuals to implement gambling restrictions on themselves.
Individuals listed in the database face comprehensive gambling prohibitions across all platforms and venues. This includes both digital gambling sites and physical gambling establishments. Prize-based promotional activities remain exempt from these restrictions.

Georgian legislation establishes a five-year validity period for all registrations. Besides, the law permits removal from the database under two circumstances: loss of Georgian citizenship or court-ordered removal, which can only occur a minimum of three years after the initial registration date.
The database serves as a central registry for individuals seeking to restrict their access to gambling services within Georgia’s regulated gambling market.
