Florida Sports Betting Overview

Hard Rock Bet (tribal compact) is the sole operator.

Florida sports betting is exclusively controlled by the Seminole Tribe under the 2021 tribal-state compact. Hard Rock Bet is the only legal mobile operator. DraftKings, FanDuel, and other major brands do NOT operate in Florida. The tribal exclusivity arrangement is legally distinctive and has been the subject of multiple court challenges.
