A bill has been filed to ball all non-Seminole Tribe gaming in Florida.
House Bill 591 was introduced by Representative Berney Jacques for the 2026 session and aims to ban all forms of gaming, including online sports betting, apart from that offered by the Seminole Tribe through their platforms.
Additionally, the bill will place penalties on betting on events with insider information.
Part of the bill reads, “a person who stakes, bets, or wagers any money or other thing of value upon the result of any professional or amateur game, contest, match, race, or sport with knowledge that the results of such professional or amateur game, contest, match, race, or sport are prearranged or predetermined as described in subsection (1) or subsection (2) commits a felony of the third degree.”
