And, you know, with this app, sports betting can basically be done anywhere in the state. So they say it violates a 2018 constitutional amendment which doesn't allow gambling outside of tribal lands without a vote. SIMON: What's the latest development with this lawsuit?īLAKE: Yeah, so the lawsuit filed at the Florida Supreme Court on Tuesday basically accuses DeSantis and the legislature of exceeding their power by allowing sports betting off tribal lands without approval from voters. TALIA BLAKE, BYLINE: Good morning, Scott. Talia Blake with member station WMFE in Orlando joins us. The latest one was filed just this week in the Florida Supreme Court. But lawsuits from other online gambling companies have kept the tribe from offering its sports betting app in the state. In return, the state would get a cut from the projected billions of dollars in gambling revenue. It has an agreement with the administration of Governor Ron DeSantis that was struck two years ago and says the tribe will be the only entity in the state allowed to offer online betting. The Seminole Tribe wants to offer online sports betting in Florida.
