Georgia's Senate Resolution 131 aims to legalize casinos and sports betting, reflecting changing attitudes towards gambling in a historically resistant state. Supporters argue that legalizing these activities will attract revenue, protect consumers, and support major sports events. The resolution follows previous failed attempts but is backed by strong public support, with over 60% of voters favoring legal sports betting. The proposal includes a 20% tax on gross income and the establishment of a Georgia Gaming Commission for oversight, with a potential public vote slated for November 2026.
Our stubbornness to legalize this wildly popular activity is not only forgoing millions of dollars in tax revenue, but also propping up shady offshore betting sites.
A recent poll from the University of Georgia shows that more than 60% of voters support legal sports betting.
