The law in Florida, in plain English
The 2021 compact gives the Seminole Tribe exclusive rights to mobile wagering, upheld in court in 2024. DraftKings, FanDuel and the rest cannot take Florida customers.
Prediction markets are a second option with a different price structure. Novig, Kalshi and Polymarket US are all available in Florida, so on most Gators games you can compare Hard Rock's price with Novig's side by side on this site.
