Supreme Court Clears Path for Online Sports Betting in Florida

The Supreme Court has rejected an emergency bid to block a multibillion-dollar agreement between Florida and the Seminole Tribe, allowing online sports betting to potentially become available in the state. The agreement, championed by Governor Ron DeSantis, is expected to bring in $2.5 billion in revenue over the next five years and $6 billion through 2030. While concerns under state law were not addressed in the current application, Justice Brett Kavanaugh raised questions about potential conflicts. The court's decision may encourage other states and tribes to pursue similar deals.
