Protect The Constitution challenges Florida sports betting compact in court
Protect The Constitution filed a lawsuit in Tallahassee challenging the constitutionality of Florida’s online sports betting arrangement with the Seminole Tribe. The Delaware-based company argues that allowing betting beyond tribal lands without voter approval breaches Amendment 3; supporters of the compact have argued that bets are placed on tribal land because the servers are there.
The case puts the legal basis for the Seminole Tribe’s statewide online sports betting operation at issue.
