Florida lawmakers withdraw two online gambling bills
Florida lawmakers withdrew two bills targeting online sweepstakes casinos and mobile sports betting outside the Seminole Tribe compact after the proposals stalled in committee. SB 1404 failed to advance from a Senate appropriations committee, while HB 1467 encountered obstacles in the Commerce Committee before its withdrawal. The bills could be reintroduced, the report said.
The withdrawal leaves the proposed restrictions on sweepstakes casinos and non-tribal mobile sports betting unenacted for now.
