Legal Sports Betting Efforts In Georgia Fall Short In 2023

Sports betting legalization efforts in Georgia's legislature failed Monday, marking yet another setback for sports wagering proponents in the state.'

There was some hope entering Monday, which was Georgia's legislative crossover deadline day, that House efforts would pass through to the Senate and Senate efforts would pass through to the House. Instead, all bills to legalize sports betting in Georgia died Monday. Hence, legal sports betting won't come to Georgia in 2023, despite an appetite from some Georgians to use legal mobile sportsbooks.'
