The Revenue Service of Georgia has released updated data on the country’s gambling self-exclusion registry. As of now, it contains 30,451 registered individuals — an increase of roughly 4,000 since early May.
The registry consists of two categories of participants: 30,392 people enrolled voluntarily, while 59 were added by court order.
According to Revenue Service representatives, the growth in registrations is primarily due to changes in the procedure: individuals can now add themselves to the registry without prior approval.
The system has integrated biometric identification technology, enabling compliance with privacy standards and ensuring the protection of personal data. According to the agency, this provides citizens with a safe and confidential way to impose gambling restrictions on themselves.
All individuals listed in the registry are completely prohibited from participating in gambling on any platform and in any venue — both online and in land-based casinos. The only exception is promotional prize draws, which are not subject to the ban.
Under Georgian law, registration in the registry is valid for five years. Removal from the database is possible only in two cases: loss of Georgian citizenship or by court order, and only at least three years after the initial registration.
The registry serves as a centralized database for those who wish to restrict their access to gambling within the country’s regulated gambling market.
