Florida gambling law

Online casinos in Florida: is it legal?

Florida allows online sports betting only through the Seminole Tribe's Hard Rock Bet, online casinos are illegal, and the Attorney General sued major sweepstakes casino operators in 2026.

Why you can't bet online in Florida

No operator list published by the Florida Gaming Control Commission. Florida does not licence online sportsbooks at all: sports betting runs through the Seminole Tribe's 2021 gaming compact, and the Commission's FAQ says only 'Unless you are placing a wager through sportsbooks operated by or in conjunction with the Seminole Tribe of Florida, you are most likely placing an illegal wager.' The FAQ names no brand, and the Commission's Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering publishes no sports wagering licensee register.
