Adjarabet is the oldest gambling business in this register by some distance, and the only one on the Asian tab that a European player would recognise as a conventional online casino. It has been trading since 1998, it takes its name from Adjara on Georgia’s Black Sea coast, and since 2019 it has belonged to Flutter Entertainment.
Whether Georgia counts as Asia is a fair question. Geographically it is Western Asia; commercially the industry files it with Europe. We list it here because the tab is about where regulated play actually exists in the region, and Georgia is one of the few places in Asia where it does.
The Rule Nobody Expects: 25, Not 18
Georgia raised the gambling age for its own citizens to 25 — not 21, not 18 — and it applies to every form of gambling including online. Visiting foreign nationals may enter casinos from 18, which produces the odd situation of a tourist legally playing a table a local resident of 24 cannot.
This is national law rather than an operator policy, and it removed well over a million people from the legal market at a stroke. The Georgian gambling association has publicly called it a policy mistake. Whatever your view, it is the first thing to check before assuming you can open an account.
Who Actually Regulates It
Georgian gambling is licensed under the Law on Arranging Lotteries, Games of Chance and Other Prize Games, and oversight sits with the Revenue Service, which took formal responsibility for the self-exclusion register in 2025 and monitors licensee compliance. A 2024 tax reform introduced a dual-domain system that taxes revenue from Georgian and foreign players at different rates, so licensed operators run separate domains for each.
Penalties get sharper from 1 June 2026 under amendments to the same law. For a player, the practical read is that this is a real regulator with a real register, which is more than most of Asia offers.
What Flutter Ownership Buys
Flutter acquired a controlling stake in 2019 and the effect is visible in the unglamorous places: deposit limits and self-exclusion built into the account rather than buried, plain terms, and withdrawals that clear inside a day with the consistency you would expect from the group that also owns FanDuel and Paddy Power.
The game catalogue is broad and internationally sourced — Evolution live tables, the major slot studios — with Georgian-language live dealers rather than dubbed feeds. Adjarabet also runs a separate licensed platform in Armenia, and in 2026 added BGaming content there.

The Case For and Against
What it does well
- Trading since 1998 — no operator in the region has a longer record
- Owned by Flutter Entertainment, the largest operator group in the world
- Licensed in both Georgia and Armenia, which almost nobody else manages
- Genuinely localised: Georgian-language live tables, not a translated lobby
- Flutter-scale compliance and responsible-gambling tooling
Where it falls short
- Georgian citizens under 25 are barred by law, not by the operator
- Offers cannot be compared before registration
- Two markets means two different products under one name
- Little use to anyone outside Georgia or Armenia
Questions About Adjarabet
Who owns Adjarabet?
Flutter Entertainment, which acquired a controlling stake in 2019. Flutter also owns FanDuel, Paddy Power, Betfair and Sisal, and its compliance standards are visible in the product.
Why is the minimum age 25?
Georgian law raised the gambling age for citizens to 25 for all forms of gambling, including online. Visiting foreign nationals may enter casinos from 18. It is national law, not an operator rule.
Is Adjarabet licensed in Armenia too?
Yes, it operates a separately licensed platform in Armenia alongside its Georgian business, making it the only operator on this tab with two licensed markets.
Who regulates gambling in Georgia?
The Revenue Service, under the Law on Arranging Lotteries, Games of Chance and Other Prize Games. It has held responsibility for the self-exclusion register since 2025, and penalties increase from 1 June 2026.
Verdict
The best operator on the Asian tab and one of the better ones anywhere in this register: a twenty-seven-year record, a Flutter parent, two licensed markets and a properly localised product. The only real objection is legal rather than commercial — if you are a Georgian citizen under 25, no operator can help you.
