Florida Sports Betting Initiative Won’t Be on 2022 Ballot

Two gambling initiatives in Florida that would have appeared on the November ballot have failed, meaning Florida voters likely won’t have an opportunity to vote on the subjects until at least 2024.

The first ballot initiative, backed by top sports betting sites like FanDuel, DraftKings and Barstool Sports, would have authorized and regulated widespread commercial sports betting throughout the state. With its large population and tourist interest, Florida is widely considered one of the biggest untapped sports betting markets in the United States.
