Regulators in the Sunshine State are looking into allegedly illegal operators of online sportsbooks and casino sites.
During a meeting of the Florida Gaming Control Commission earlier this week, it was made clear that internet gambling operators doing business in the state without authorization remain a priority target for the regulator.Regulators in the Sunshine State are looking into allegedly illegal online sportsbooks and casino sites that continue to cater to Florida clients, especially ones who are too young to be gambling in the first place.
“There are certain complexities associated with online investigation, and they make those last a little bit longer,” said Carl Herold, the commission’s director of law enforcement, during the regulator’s meeting on Tuesday. “But I can tell you that we are investigating those and taking very much an active role in trying to at least inhibit that as much as we can.”
"An area to educate is those youngsters that are getting hooked on it at young teenage years," Brown said."It's such an area that I'm concerned with that I'd really like us to look at it a little bit further and focus our efforts on partnering with DOE." Having Florida to itself gives Seminole-owned Hard Rock Bet a high floor in the sports betting business.
