Florida lawmakers have introduced bills, HB 953 and SB 1404, to ban sweepstakes casinos by extending existing gambling prohibitions to include online gambling and sports wagering. The legislation defines sweepstakes casinos under these terms and states that violations could lead to third-degree felony charges. While critics argue the platforms exploit players and evade gaming laws, proponents assert that participation is optional, likening it to traditional gaming rather than gambling. The Social and Promotional Games Association has cautioned that the bills may yield adverse effects by misunderstanding these gaming platforms.
Critics argue that the platforms circumvent gaming law and take advantage of players.
The prohibition basically covers every participant in the supply chain - i.e., operators, vendors and suppliers.
