The “hub-and-spoke” sports-betting plan in the compact would have allowed gamblers throughout the state to place bets online, with the bets run through computer servers on tribal property.
It would have allowed the Seminole Tribe to operate sports betting and add roulette and craps to its seven Florida casinos, with the state potentially receiving $20 billion over the next 30 years.Įarlier this month, the tribe launched online sports betting when the Hard Rock Sportsbook allowed players in Florida to download an app enabling them to make deposits and place wagers on professional football, hockey and soccer games and make bets on other sports. The Department of the Interior approved the compact in August.
