As of my last update in early 2023, DraftKings operates in Florida, offering sports betting services. However, the legal landscape for sports betting in the United States is subject to change, and individual states have their own regulations regarding online gambling and sports betting.
In November 2021, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a compact with the Seminole Tribe that allowed sports betting to commence in the state. This compact allowed for a wide range of sports betting options, including mobile sports betting through platforms like DraftKings.
However, it’s important to check the current status before participating, as there may be changes in the law or in the operator’s services. To bet on DraftKings in Florida, you should:
1. Ensure that you are located within the state borders of Florida when placing a bet, as mobile sports betting is typically geo-fenced to ensure only residents or visitors within the state can participate.
2. Be at least 21 years of age, as this is the legal gambling age in Florida.
3. Have a DraftKings account, which you can create through their website or mobile app.
4. Follow any additional rules and regulations set forth by DraftKings and the state of Florida.
For the most current information, you should visit the DraftKings website or check with the Florida Department of Gaming or the relevant regulatory body to confirm that sports betting through DraftKings is still legal and operational in the state.
