Prediction Markets

Federally regulated by the CFTC. Trade event contracts on an exchange model — separate from state-licensed sportsbooks. Florida currently has only a tribal-monopoly retail/online operator (Hard Rock Bet). Federally regulated prediction markets are also accessible.

Sweepstakes Sportsbooks
