Can I obtain a fantasy sports license in Georgia? What are the requirements?

To operate a fantasy sports league in Georgia, you may need to obtain a license from the Secretary of State ^[2.1]. Nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations are required to obtain a license before operating a bingo game, and the Secretary of State has the authority to issue licenses ^[2.1]. However, it is unclear whether this requirement applies to fantasy sports leagues. There is no specific information available on the requirements for obtaining a fantasy sports license in Georgia.
