The state of Florida is moving toward legalization of sports betting.
On November 18, 2019, State Senator Jeff Brandes filed a trio of bills centered on “specifying requirements for accepting wagers on sports events.” The draft bills would empower the Florida Lottery to oversee mobile sports betting in the state. Betting would be restricted to those 21 years of age or older. The bills will be considered during the 2020 legislative session, with a potential effective date of October 1, 2020.
