That could mean the end of sports betting in a matter of a week or two, but Wallach said he believes such a request would likely be rejected and online sports betting will stick around for the long haul. Wallach predicted West Flagler, the South Florida parimutuel operator that challenged the new Seminole gaming compact, is likely to petition the Florida Supreme Court for an emergency stay quickly in hopes of shutting online sports betting down. “If the bets and the wagers are occurring outside of Indian lands and are deemed to be placed outside of Indian lands, that same act would be a violation of both Florida Amendment 3 and the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act,” said Wallach. It’s not clear exactly when the app will become available to new customers, and as Wallach pointed out, there’s still a possibility online sports betting could be blocked once again. “It was just a matter of time before the Seminole Tribe relaunched their sports book, at least the online version of it, because any reversal by a federal court would be in the US Supreme Court more than a year from now,” said Wallach. Gaming attorney Daniel Wallach explained after nearly two years of litigation and a series of court rulings in the Tribe’s favor, the compact was reauthorized, which paved the way for Tuesday’s relaunch. However, it was pulled down just one month later following a ruling issued by a federal judge that blocked the compact.
