A new poll in Georgia shows that a majority of people support legalizing casino gambling. However, there is a divide over online sports betting.

60% of likely voters in Georgia support legalizing casino gambling. Only 29% are opposed to the idea. 46% favor legalizing online sports betting. A state constitutional amendment is necessary to legalize new forms of gambling in the state.

Poll shows Georgians favor expanding gambling in Georgia. The main form of legal gambling is the state lottery. Opponents of gambling expansion point to the risk of addiction and other problems. Tennessee has had legal online sports betting since November 2020 and it has generated more than $80m in tax revenue.

Professional sports teams in Georgia support expanding gambling. The Atlanta Braves, Hawks, United, and Falcons believe that legal sports betting would generate more interest among fans.
