Sports Betting Overview: Florida

Florida's sports betting journey has been turbulent. The Seminole Tribe launched mobile sports betting in November 2021 through a gaming compact with the state, but legal challenges shut it down within weeks. After years of litigation, the Seminole Tribe's Hard Rock Bet app relaunched in late 2023, operating statewide under the tribe's exclusive compact. Florida's market is unique in that only one operator — the Seminole Tribe — controls all online and mobile sports betting. Retail betting is available at Seminole casinos. The state's massive population of 22 million makes it one of the most valuable sports betting markets in the country, though the monopoly structure limits bettor choice.
