Meanwhile, state voters have not yet had a chance to vote on whether commercial sports betting should be fully legal in Florida.
Unfortunately, this only pertains to the Seminole Tribe-Florida compact.
With that decision overturned, sports betting became legal once again on June 30, 2023. However, the deal was blocked, and sports betting reverted to its illegal status. The agreement in question effectively gave the Seminole Tribe control over sports betting in Florida and opened the door to the first sportsbooks in Florida. A three-judge panel of the court decided to reverse the November 2021 ruling to block the gaming deal the Seminole Tribe made with the state of Florida. Technically, yes, FL sports betting is once again legal following the DC Circuit Court of Appeals ruling on June 30, 2023.
