How to Bet on College Props in Florida for FSU vs Georgia Tech

Online sports betting returned to Florida with the launch of Hard Rock Bet in December, but college prop betting didn’t come with it.
The Florida Gaming Compact between the Seminole Tribe and the state of Florida prohibits Hard Rock Bet from offering prop betting on college sports.
However, this doesn’t apply to internationally-licensed and regulated sportsbooks who legally offer college prop betting in Florida.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – College prop betting restrictions in Florida limit bettors who use the Hard Rock Bet app. Since this is the only sportsbook app regulated by the state of Florida, residents might feel that they’re out of luck when it comes to college football props.

Luckily internationally-licensed and regulated sportsbooks offer legal sports betting on college prop bets. The definitions included in the Florida Gaming Compact directly refer to “one or more sportsbooks conducted and operated by the Tribe…”

Why Doesn’t Hard Rock Have College Prop Betting

The legally binding reason why Hard Rock doesn’t have college prop betting is because it’s clearly stated in the Florida Gaming Compact. In exchange for a Florida sports betting monopoly, the Seminole Tribe can’t offer any prop bets on college sports, including football.

The Compact provides a definition of sports betting that includes wagering options authorized by the Seminole Tribe that follows with “but not including propositional bets on such collegiate sport or event.” However, since Bovada and other internationally-licensed sportsbooks are regulated elsewhere and not by the state of Florida, they can legally offer college prop bets in the state.
