- Controlling order: none.
- Source of the absence finding: a 50-state tracker checked 14 November 2026 and our own record; no Florida regulator release was found.
- Florida prediction-market suit by an authority: the Seminole Tribe of Florida against DraftKings, not Kalshi, filed 8 October 2026 (per the court tracker).
- Next date: none in a Florida case; the national date is 7 December 2026.
| Operator | What is blocked | Order | Date | Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kalshi | Nothing | No order found | 14 Nov 2026 | none |
| DraftKings Predictions | Nothing | No order; tribal suit pending, removed 9 Nov 2026 (per the court tracker) | 9 Nov 2026 | Seminole Tribe v. DraftKings Predictions |
| Crypto.com | Nothing | No order; consumer class action pending | 13 Feb 2026 | Keohohou v. Crypto.com and NADEX |
Four checks, all empty, dated 14 November 2026; the only Florida prediction-market suit by an authority targets DraftKings, not Kalshi.
Florida is one of the large Kalshi states with no court order, no state suit and no regulator letter against Kalshi in our record, and the only state where a tribe has sued a sportsbook, DraftKings, over its prediction product instead of suing Kalshi.
This page gives the court status first, then every Florida gambling lawsuit in our record, 0 in all. A complaint states one side's allegations; only the court's orders decide anything, and every status here carries the date it was checked.
Is Kalshi legal in Florida? What the courts have ordered
As of 14 November 2026 no court has ordered Kalshi to stop offering event contracts in Florida, no Florida agency has sued it, and no Florida cease-and-desist letter to Kalshi is in our record. "No order found" means no order in force stops Kalshi; it does not mean a state is unable to enforce.
For the other states, see gambling lawsuits in the United States. Statuses here are orders and their dates, never a verdict of "legal" or "illegal".
No Florida order, suit or cease-and-desist: what "no case found" rests on
Our record holds no Florida complaint, order or regulator letter naming Kalshi, and the 50-state tracker we cross-check against lists Florida among the states with no court action as of 14 November 2026.
| What we looked for | Result | Source | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|
| State lawsuit against Kalshi | none | our record and the 50-state tracker | 14 Nov 2026 |
| Regulator cease-and-desist letter | none found | the tracker; no Florida regulator release found | 14 Nov 2026 |
| Federal suit by Kalshi against Florida | none | our record | 14 Nov 2026 |
| CFTC suit against Florida | none | CFTC release 9326-26 | 14 Nov 2026 |
Orders do exist elsewhere: Nevada (a preliminary injunction of 3 April 2026, written 18 May), Michigan (an Ingham County injunction of 1 September 2026), Washington (a King County final order of 13 August 2026) and Louisiana (a temporary restraining order of 12 November 2026).
The absence finding rests on a secondary tracker plus our record, so it is dated and sourced, never a legal opinion.
Seminole Tribe v. DraftKings Predictions: the first tribal suit against a sportsbook's event contracts
The Seminole Tribe of Florida sued DraftKings, Inc. in the Circuit Court for Broward County on 8 October 2026 over its "Predictions" sports event contracts; the tracker records the claims as compact exclusivity, IGRA and Florida gambling law, and the complaint itself has not been read. DraftKings removed the case to the Southern District of Florida on 9 November 2026.
| Date | Step | Court | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 Oct 2026 | Complaint, No. CACE26016435 | 17th Judicial Circuit, Broward County | per the court tracker |
| 9 Nov 2026 | Removal, No. 0:26-cv-63156, Judge Artau | S.D. Fla. | per the court tracker |
| as pleaded | Claims: compact exclusivity, IGRA, Florida gambling law | not confirmed in the court record | none |
| next step | none set in our record | S.D. Fla. | none |
Both dates and the docket rest on the court tracker; no court document has been retrieved. The case is the first tribal suit against a sportsbook's prediction product rather than against Kalshi.
Elsewhere the Ninth Circuit held on 16 September 2026 (No. 25-7504) that sports contracts are class III gaming on tribal lands. Florida holds 0 of the 8 cases in our record on prediction market lawsuits.
The Crypto.com class action in the Southern District of Florida
Keohohou v. North American Derivatives Exchange, filed in the Southern District of Florida on 13 February 2026 (No. 1:26-cv-20996, Judge K. Michael Moore, filing date per the court tracker), is the one consumer class action over prediction markets in a Florida court, and it has produced no ruling, class or payout. The claims are recorded as Florida gambling and consumer statutes, detail not confirmed.
The consolidated Kalshi class action in New York has no class, settlement or payout. Whether the contracts are swaps is the question these suits turn on, explained under how is Kalshi legal.
What happens next: the Supreme Court petitions and the circuit split
No Florida date is set; the dates that could change Florida's status are national: responses to three Supreme Court petitions are due 7 December 2026, and a decision whether to hear the New Jersey case would follow.
| What | Court | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Responses to petitions Nos. 26-299, 26-338 and 26-344 | U.S. Supreme Court | 7 Dec 2026 |
| Next step in Seminole Tribe v. DraftKings | S.D. Fla. | none set |
| Ruling on event contracts in the Eleventh Circuit, which hears Florida appeals | Eleventh Circuit | none in our record |
The Third Circuit sided with Kalshi on 6 April 2026 (2 to 1), the Ninth and Sixth Circuits against it on 28 August and 25 September 2026 (both 3 to 0). Appeals are collected in pending appeals and high court gambling cases.
Open settlements covering Florida residents
No open gambling settlement covers Florida residents as of 14 November 2026. The three open claims are Pulsz six-state (Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, New Jersey, Massachusetts), High 5 Larsen (Washington) and the New York Attorney General's VGW settlement.
Filing a claim in any settlement is free; we are not a law firm and not an administrator.
No Florida case in our record has settled. The Attorney General's suits seek restitution and disgorgement but have no fund or claim form; every open claim is listed in open gambling class action settlements by deadline.
Gambling lawsuits in Florida: every case we track
Our record holds 0 gambling lawsuits in Florida courts or filed by Florida authorities: 0 sweepstakes casino cases, 0 prediction market cases, 0 constitutional cases before the Supreme Court of Florida and 0 licensing case. The table gives court and docket, filing date, status with its date, and money.
No Florida row shows money awarded; the Attorney General's penalty formula is shown as sought, not awarded. The same rows download as CSV from open data under CC BY 4.0, and dockets not confirmed in the court record say so.
Florida's loss-recovery position
Florida's gambling-loss recovery provisions in chapter 849 of the Florida Statutes appear in our record only as pleaded by the Attorney General against VGW and Stake.us, and no Florida court has ruled on them in a gambling case we track.
The exact sections are not confirmed in the court record. The tracker of gambling loss recovery statutes by US state compares other states.
The second route is the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. The Attorney General seeks civil penalties of USD 10,000 per willful violation and USD 15,000 where seniors or disabled persons are involved; these are amounts sought, not awarded, and no court has ruled.
Other states' statutes have paid players: the SciPlay six-state settlement (USD 5,000,000, paid from 6 March 2026) rests on them, and it does not cover Florida. See can you sue a casino or sportsbook for the general question.
Sweepstakes casino status in Florida
Florida has no statutory ban on dual-currency sweepstakes casinos, so the Attorney General's suits of 19 August 2026 rely on existing gambling law and the Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. The ten-state ban list we cite is the Settlement Insight list, not yet checked against the chaptered laws, and Florida is not on it.
Florida holds 0 sweepstakes cases in our record: the two Attorney General suits, Knapp v. VGW and a player's suit against the Crown Coins casino filed on 22 September 2026 in the Middle District of Florida (per two court trackers; no docket was reachable).
The cease-and-desist letters in our record come from other states. Which states have banned the model is tracked in sweepstakes casino bans by state.
State enforcement: attorney general, tribe and Supreme Court of Florida cases
Florida enforces gambling law in court through the Attorney General's civil suits, the Seminole Tribe's compact litigation and constitutional cases before the Supreme Court of Florida; the Department of Business and Professional Regulation appears in our record only as the licensing defendant in Gretna Racing.
More state enforcement matters are grouped under regulators and attorneys general in court.
The Attorney General's suits against VGW and Stake.us (19 August 2026)
On 19 August 2026 the Attorney General filed two suits in the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County: one against VGW and the vendors Yodlee, Trustly and Worldpay, one against Sweepsteaks Ltd. (Stake.us), Easygo, Kick Streaming, the founders and the processors Praxis and Breeze Labs.
| Case | Court | Filed | Defendants | Relief sought | Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| State of Florida v. VGW Holdings Limited and affiliates (Chumba Casino, LuckyLand, Global Poker) | 13th Judicial Circuit, Hillsborough County; case number not confirmed | 19 Aug 2026 | VGW entities plus Yodlee, Trustly, Worldpay (see the conflict below) | civil penalties, forfeiture and recovery of consumer losses, disgorgement, permanent injunction | Florida AG v. VGW and payment processors |
| State of Florida v. Sweepsteaks Ltd. (Stake.us) and others | same court; case number not confirmed | 19 Aug 2026 | Sweepsteaks, Easygo, Kick Streaming, founders, Praxis, Breeze Labs | permanent injunction, disgorgement | Florida AG v. Stake.us |
The sources conflict on which processors are in which complaint: one trade outlet puts Worldpay and Trustly in the VGW case and Praxis and Breeze Labs in the Stake case, another puts all five in both, and the complaints could not be retrieved.
The complaint alleges VGW revenue of more than USD 5 billion in 2025, USD 3.7 billion of it from Chumba Casino; that is an allegation, not an audited figure. They are the first state suits to name payment and verification vendors, following the Los Angeles template; see sweepstakes casino lawsuits.
Amendment 3, the compact and the slot referendums: the Supreme Court of Florida line
Three Supreme Court of Florida rulings frame every later Florida gambling case: Gretna Racing (18 May 2017), the Amendment 3 advisory opinion (20 April 2017) and West Flagler v. DeSantis (21 March 2024).
| Case | Docket | Decided | Holding | Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gretna Racing v. DBPR | SC15-1929, 225 So. 3d 759 | 18 May 2017 | A county referendum alone cannot authorize slot machines under s. 551.102(4) | Gretna Racing county slot referendum case |
| Advisory opinion, Voter Control of Gambling | SC16-778, SC16-871, 215 So. 3d 1209 | 20 Apr 2017 | Initiative approved for the ballot; adopted as Amendment 3 in November 2018 | Florida Amendment 3 ballot approval |
| West Flagler Associates v. DeSantis | SC2023-1333 | 21 Mar 2024 | Quo warranto denied; the Amendment 3 question must go to a trial court (not re-checked on 14 Nov 2026) | West Flagler quo warranto on the Seminole compact |
No trial-court challenge to the compact under Amendment 3 is in our record.
