Florida legislature makes move that could result in sweepstakes ban, lay icasino groundwork

Bills would extend gaming ban to sweepstakes casinos, internet casino gaming, and online sports betting in the state outside the scope of the Seminole Tribe.

Two bills were introduced in the Florida legislature this week that would expand the state’s ban on gambling. “Sweepstakes casinos,” internet casino gaming, and online sports betting outside its compact with the Seminole Tribe could be prohibited if the legislation passes.

Representative Walter Barnaby filed HB953 24 February. Senator Corey Simon filed his companion bill, S1404, in the upper chamber 26 February.

SB 1569 did not get any discussion on Wednesday. “After reviewing the testimony, the recommendation is to defer,” said Donovan M Dela Cruz, the chairman of the senate committee.

Written testimony revealed that multiple state government agencies oppose the measure, including the department of the prosecuting attorney; the department of business, economic development and tourism; and the attorney general. All cited co..

Spending on sports betting in November hit $897.6 million (£708.2 million/€856.6 million). This beat October’s prior record of $759.8 million by 18.1% and was also 25.8% ahead of the previous year in Arizona.

Data from the Arizona Department of Gaming shows online spending amounted to $890 million, while retail wagers topped $7.6 million.

Consumer winnings across online and retail totalled $811.3 million. As such, adjusted gross event wagering receipts hit an all-time high of $84.1 million. This beat the previous record, set in September 2024, by 8.7% and was almost double November 2023’s total.

Online betting drew $83.3 million of all adjusted gross event wagering receipts during the month. In contrast, retail sports betting generated just $773,634.

Free bets in November amounted to $26.6 million, meaning adju..
