Year-One Budgets for a Georgian License
Government and control-system cost at the caps, with €2,000,000 of gross gaming revenue from foreign players in the first year. Our fee comes on top and is quoted after the call.

| Year two onwardSame revenue | €154,400 | €188,800 | €223,200 |
Sportsbook figures leave out the €3,400 prize fund security, which is a guarantee rather than a payment. The 5% takes the place of profit tax on that revenue, because Georgian law taxes gambling on gross gaming revenue rather than on profit. Dividends paid abroad carry 5% withholding unless a tax treaty lowers it, and the gambling tax rates in Georgia are higher only for Georgian players.
