Is sports betting legal in Florida?
Yes. Florida sports betting is once again legal, and Hard Rock Bet is now live online as the only active sports betting site in the state. Prior to the return of its online sportsbook on Nov. 7, the Seminole Tribe of Florida had announced plans to reintroduce legal sports betting at three casinos on Dec. 7, 2023.
In 2021, the Seminole Tribe obtained expanded gambling privileges through a compact they entered into with the state. This compact granted them the exclusive right to establish statewide online sports betting platforms, a provision that faced legal challenges and remained the subject of ongoing disputes for almost two years. In October 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court denied a request to further delay the implementation of this arrangement.
A commercial sports betting measure could bring industry giants like FanDuel and DraftKings to Florida, but this could take some time. The earliest voters could get the opportunity to vote on a commercial sports betting measure would be 2024, meaning a competitive market would arrive no earlier than 2025.

Who can partake in Florida sports betting?
Adults 21 and over are permitted to place sports wagers on the Hard Rock Bet app or website or by visiting a retail sportsbook at a tribal casino.
Here's a brief look at the current Florida sports betting landscape:
Legal age
If you’re 21 or older, you can place a sports bet in Florida.
Mobile betting
Mobile betting returned on Nov. 7, 2023, as Hard Rock Bet introduced its revamped product to existing users. On Dec. 5, 2023, the app was made available to all of Florida. Bettors can now place wagers from anywhere in the Sunshine State.
Remote registration
Florida sports bettors can now register with Hard Rock Bet from anywhere in the state.
Within state borders
Hard Rock Bet uses geofencing technology to restrict all out-of-state bettors. If you wander into a neighboring state, you will not be permitted to place wagers on the Hard Rock app.
Retail sportsbooks
Brick-and-mortar Florida sportsbooks are located in all six Seminole casinos.
Hard Rock Sportsbook in Hollywood, FL, is a top option for in-person betting, with 40 self-serve kiosks, eight betting windows, and wall-to-wall live sports action.
Taxable winnings
With no state income tax, Florida sports bettors only need to fork over the federally mandated 24% on gambling winnings over $600. Luckily, gambling losses can offset these winnings as well.

The pros and cons of Florida sports betting
Sunshine State sports bettors can place wagers on the Hard Rock Bet app from anywhere in Florida.
Unfortunately, a competitive sports betting market will not launch anytime soon. The Seminole Tribe has retained exclusive rights to offer sports wagering, so line shopping is not possible.
Uncertainty amidst lawsuitsA monopolized market may lead to lackluster betting linesNo commercial Florida sportsbooks before 2025How to start betting in Florida
Florida sports bettors will soon have the option of visiting a physical sportsbook or legal Florida sports betting site to get started.
Select a sportsbook
Hard Rock Bet is the only option in Florida, but additional sportsbooks could enter the market in the future.
If competition arrives, keep an eye on sign-up bonuses, betting lines, and the ease of making deposits and withdrawals. Don’t forget to read over reviews as they become available.
Register online
When Hard Rock Bet begins accepting new users, Floridians will be able to register, make deposits, and place bets — all from the comfort of their own homes or anywhere else in the state.
Claim a bonus
In November 2021, the Seminole Tribe and the Hard Rock Sportsbook offered up to a $100 bonus bet to new sports gamblers in Florida. Other popular bonuses include deposit matches and no-deposit bonuses, which the sportsbook could offer in the future.
Deposit funds
Sportsbooks offer a variety of methods to fund your account. Florida sports bettors will be able to use PayPal, credit cards, debit cards, bank transfers, PayNearMe, or cash when gambling in person.
Don’t forget to familiarize yourself with the relevant terms and conditions to avoid any unexpected transaction fees.
Choose your bet types
You can find all of the popular bet types in the Sunshine State. Florida sportsbooks will allow you to bet on moneylines, point spreads, Over/Unders (totals), parlays, prop bets, and futures.
Start betting
After you’ve registered, claimed your bonus, and funded your account, you’ll be ready to place your first sports wager.
Withdraw funds
Withdrawing your sports bet winnings should be straightforward in Florida. These transactions tend to take a bit longer to process than deposits, so don’t be surprised if you have to wait a few days to access your bankroll.
Reading the odds
American odds are the default option in the United States, and Hard Rock Bet also displays odds this way. American odds involve the use of minus (-) and plus (+) signs to indicate favorites and underdogs.
Favorites are shown with a minus sign; the number you see tells you the amount you would have to wager to win $100. For example, -160 odds show you that a $160 bet would net you $100 in winnings.
Underdogs are slightly different. A plus sign is used to show the amount you’d stand to win when placing a $100 bet. For example, +110 odds tell you a $100 bet would lead to $110 in profit.
Some sportsbooks also show odds as fractions and decimals. Check out our odds converter to cycle through all three types of betting odds.

What you can't bet on in Florida
Florida sports betting includes wagering on professional, college, and Olympic sports.
However, some wagers are not available to Sunshine State bettors. Don't expect to find the following markets at Florida sports betting sites:
NFL Draft
Floridians can legally bet on the 2024 NFL Draft via Hard Rock Bet. Use our NFL Draft betting odds page to keep up with trends to score the best price during every round of football's biggest off-season event.

Politics are off-limits in Florida. No state has legalized this type of wagering to date.
Entertainment award ceremonies
Florida does not permit betting on celebrity award shows such as the Grammy Awards or Oscars.
esports
It remains to be seen if esports betting will come to Florida. For now, there is no way to legally bet on esports in the Sunshine State.
What about Florida college sports?
Bettors are permitted to place online wagers on Florida-based college sports teams — or college games taking place in Florida. Individual player prop bets are off-limits, however.
Legal sportsbooks in Florida
Legal Florida sports betting was reborn on Nov. 7, 2023, when the Seminole Tribe announced that Hard Rock Bet had begun accepting online wagers from users who had registered two years earlier. The app fully launched on Dec. 5, 2023.
Retail sports betting is now available at six Hard Rock Sportsbook locations in Florida.
On Nov. 1, 2021, industry and political insiders were caught off-guard when Hard Rock launched its mobile sportsbook. The excitement was short-lived, however, as a federal judge ruled against the Florida-Seminole Compact on Nov. 22, 2021.

Other types of gambling
Floridians have plenty of gambling options. While tribal casinos generate the bulk of the betting action, the Sunshine State is also home to one of the largest horse racing markets in the nation. In fact, pari-mutuel horse race betting is the only form of legal online gambling in Florida.
Casino
The Seminole Tribe owns and operates six major casinos in Florida, with the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Hollywood its most prominent facility. The Hard Rock features over 3000 slots, almost 200 table games, and live poker.
The Miccosukee tribe operates a seventh tribal casino, while eight pari-mutuel facilities offer slots, poker games, horse racing, and jai alai betting. The Seminole Tribe has a social casino app, Seminole Social Casino, where players can play various table games and slots for non-cash prizes.
Online casinos are not permitted in Florida, but the addition of online sports betting could open the door to future online gambling discussions. Sweepstakes casinos are available and popular in the Sunshine State. Our Florida online casinos page will guide you to the best online operator's in 2024.
Poker
Nearly all of Florida’s tribal casinos feature several poker tables, with Seminole Hard Rock boasting over 40 tables itself.
There are no legal online poker websites for Floridians to enjoy. Global Poker, a sweepstakes website, is the only option for card sharks in the Sunshine State.
Horse racing
Horse racing is legal in Florida. The most popular tracks include Gulfstream Park, Hialeah Park, Tampa Bay Downs, and Isle Casino Pompano Park.
Pari-mutuel horse race betting is allowed, and it’s the only form of online betting that is legal in the Sunshine State. Online bets can be placed in Florida using the Caesars Racebook app, TwinSpires, TVG, and BetAmerica —the best horse racing betting sites in the U.S. The Florida Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering oversees all betting activity.
Daily fantasy sports
Daily fantasy sports remain unregulated in Florida. DraftKings, FanDuel, and Thrillzz Sportsbook continue to operate in the state. Additionally, you can sign-up and claim the ProphetX promo code today.
