TELL US: Florida sports betting is expected to be big business again as the NFL season begins. Do you bet on games?
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Late in 2023, the Seminole Tribe launched into an agreement that gave the tribe exclusive rights to handle all online sports betting in Florida.
The agreement survived a legal challenge and Florida’s share of revenues was $357 million from last December through May, the Seminole Tribe reported in June. State economic forecasters predict that the revenue sharing from tribal gambling could total $4.4 billion through the end of this decade.
With the booming sports betting industry, lawmakers and even the professional sports leagues themselves are making it easier, faster and more tempting for people to bet on games — and develop gambling problems, say gambling researchers and addiction specialists.
