Florida attorney general asks state Supreme Court to dismiss sports-betting case
Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody asked the state Supreme Court to dismiss West Flagler and Associates’ challenge to the 2021 compact with the Seminole Tribe. Moody argued that sports betting is not casino gambling under the state constitution and cited the plaintiffs’ delay and other procedural grounds; West Flagler has argued the compact exceeds state and federal law.
The court’s handling of the challenge could affect the legal basis for sports betting in Florida.
