Police calls for progress on Florida sports betting standoff

Legislators in Florida approved a deal between the Seminole Tribe and Governor Ron DeSantis in 2021, paving the way for legal sports betting. The exclusive mobile betting rights clause in that agreement immediately caught the pari-mutuel companies' attention, leading to a lawsuit and the temporary halt of the activity.

In the US, sports betting has already become widely prevalent. Hundreds of millions of dollars could be on the line for the Seminole Tribe if the legal dispute prolongs the introduction of legal gambling.
