Ron DeSantis and Seminole Tribe of Florida Chairman Marcellus Osceola Jr. Supreme Court in a long-running legal battle about sports betting. The decisions came after the tribe got a go-ahead from the U.S. The move came a week after tribal leaders announced a plan to add sports betting to their casino operations in December. The quiet launch appears to be a way for the Seminoles to check out the stability of the app before a major release. Others can sign up to get on a waiting list, according to the Hard Rock Bet website.Īs they did in 2021, the Seminoles released the app Tuesday with no fanfare or announcement. Under Tuesday’s launch, people who used a 2021 app in Florida or who have points from the tribe’s “Unity by Hard Rock” loyalty program for casino gamblers can get “early access” to the app. It’s the second time in two years the Seminoles have rolled out an app allowing people in Florida to place mobile sports wagers throughout the state. The tribe’s revamped ‘Hard Rock Bet’ app, for now, is available to a group of players who have ties to the Seminoles’ gambling operations. After scoring a major legal victory, the Seminole Tribe of Florida Tuesday quietly relaunched a sports betting app allowing a limited group of gamblers to place wagers anywhere in Florida.
