The decision is the latest twist in a situation that started in May 2021, when the Florida state legislature approved a compact with the Seminoles allowing the tribe to offer digital sports betting throughout Florida as long as every bet flows through a server on Seminole land. The parimutuels argued that the compact violates the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, which governs only gambling that happens on tribal lands. Written in the 1980s, IGRA does not appear to address digital wagering.
After the legislature approved the compact, it was sent to the DOI for approval. Still, rather than sign off on it, Secretary Deb Haaland allowed the compact to become “deemed approved” after a 45-day waiting period. Multiple lawsuits were then filed, but the Seminoles launched their Hard Rock Digital platform ahead of a decision by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in November 2021. It was available for 34 days before two courts demanded it be taken down. While West Flagler Associates will likely appeal, the immediate question is whether or not the Seminoles will try to relaunch the platform.
Judge Dabney Freidrich ruled the compact was illegal at the district court level, and the DOI appealed to the appeals court. The appeals court heard oral arguments last December and has considered the case since.
In Seminole Tribe issued the following statement: “The Seminole Tribe of Florida is pleased with today’s unanimous decision. It is a positive outcome for the Seminole tribe, the people of Florida, and Indian Country. The tribe is fully reviewing the decision to determine the next steps.”
