The Florida Casino Gaming Expansion Initiative didn't get enough signatures to be on the November 8th, 2022 ballot. The initiative was designed to expand casino gaming in Florida. Florida has 77 casinos spread out across 31 cities. Online gambling is still a problem in the Sunshine State. The state's legislators are working to introduce a legal framework for betting apps and online sports betting.

The Florida legislature has been trying to legalize both sports betting and online casinos for years. The push for legalization is continuing in 2022. Seminole Tribe in southern Florida has a monopoly on all casino card games. If online gambling were to become legal, a new tribal compact would need to be negotiated to ensure that the tribe and state are both benefiting.

Sports betting has been legal in Florida since May 2021. Seminole Tribe took down Hard Rock's sportsbook app one month after it was launched. The latest sports betting initiative failed to reach the number of signatures required to be placed into the November 2022 ballot. Mobile sports bets won't be going live in the Sunshine state until 2023 at the earliest.

There are no mobile sports betting apps available in Florida. You can place your bets on offshore casino sites. Cybersecurity should be at the top of your priorities. Online gambling and sports gambling in the state is thriving. The variety of games available, the number of deposit and withdrawal methods and generous and fair bonuses are the main things to look for in an offshore casinos.
