As of my last update in early 2023, DraftKings operates in a number of states across the United States, but the availability of its services, including sports betting and DFS (daily fantasy sports), can vary by state due to differing legal regulations.
In Florida, the legal status of sports betting has been subject to change and complexity. Initially, DraftKings was part of a lawsuit that prevented the state from launching sports betting under a compact with the Seminole Tribe. However, in May 2021, a new law was passed that allowed sports betting through the state’s tribes, but it was challenged in court.
As of the time of my last update, online sports betting through platforms like DraftKings was not operational in Florida due to legal challenges. However, retail sports betting was available at some tribal casinos.
It’s important to check the current status before attempting to bet on DraftKings or any other platform in Florida, as laws and regulations can change rapidly. For the most up-to-date information, you should visit the official DraftKings website or consult with legal resources in the state of Florida.
