Florida's Senate Bill 1404, introduced by Senator Corey Simon, seeks to criminalize online sports betting and real-money online casinos as third-degree felonies, targeting operators and players outside the Seminole Tribe's exclusive compact. It also aims to ban sweepstakes-style gaming. While supporters argue that the bill is necessary to curb illegal gambling and protect state revenues, critics warn that its broad language could unintentionally impact charitable gaming activities, such as those involving veterans' organizations. The bill is expected to be reviewed by the Senate Fiscal Policy Committee soon.
