Online sports betting in Florida will become a reality thanks to its inclusion in a new compact between the State of Florida and the Seminole Tribe. The agreement that occurred last May is now being held up. Player information and account funds are safe and secure, and the app will remain online for easy withdrawals via all payment methods. The groundbreaking deal that brings legal online sports betting to the Sunshine State was announced on April 23, 2021, by Governor Ron DeSantis.Įventually, however, the online piece has been a bit more complicated.Īfter the initial compact between the State of Florida and the Seminole Tribe, the state suspended sports gambling after a federal court of appeals denied Seminole Tribe’s emergency stay.ĭue to yesterday’s appellate court decision, the Hard Rock Sportsbook mobile app will temporarily suspend accepting new bets and deposits.
It’s such a shame, too, considering pundits thought Florida online sports betting had a chance to arrive at some point soon. This means Florida online sports betting will not become a reality until at least 2024.
It simply could not meet the required signatures for a crucial spot on the November 2022 ballot. In January 2022, Florida’s sports betting initiative #21-13 failed in a big way. What was first a slam-dunk rollout has suddenly come to a screeching halt. Florida Online Sports Betting will eventually come to fruition-we believe.
