Start a Sportsbook in the Atlanta Area

New York is in the process of allowing sportsbooks at designated casino locations, but fear not if you are a bookie operating in the Atlanta area!  Bookies and agents still will enjoy a tremendous edge as we highlight below.  It has never been a better time to start your own sportsbook.

Benefits to Starting a Sportsbook in Atlanta

States that have opened up sportsbooks since this past May's Supreme Court ruling that legalizes sports wagering demonstrate that, while the operations look nice, have plenty of offerings and the apps are slick......what about those damn taxes.   New Jersey imposes a 13% tax on Web sports betting.  OUCH!  Bookies obviously don't report your winnings to the IRS.  This is left up to the player to do so.

Anonymity, a wider selection of sports betting options, futures, props and often better lines are just a few of the advantages bookies offer to area sports bettors.

When Will I Be Able to Bet Online With a Georgia-Based Site or App?

A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision opened the doors for legalized sports betting in the United States.

Don't bet on Georgia offering sports betting in any of its state casinos - yeah, what casinos?  The Peachtree State is dead set against gambling. 

This is great for bookies though.  Many folks in Georgia are getting the gambling bug thanks to Mississippi and even West Virginia legalizing sports betting.  Once they go to these books, it's good to know they can have a website to bet with back home. 

And don't dispair in regard to Georgia not willing to open sportsbooks.

Whereas internationally-licensed sportsbooks (also referred to as offshore sportsbooks) do not impose a tax on wagers, individual U.S. states will.  For example, New Jersey imposes a 10.75% tax at its newly opened sportsbooks and 13% tax for online wagering.
