Florida, Massachusetts, and Oklahoma are among the states where sports betting news is currently being closely followed. The Supreme Court of the United States is currently considering a writ of certiorari submitted by West Flagler to review the legality of Florida sports betting. Meanwhile, two operators have exited Massachusetts' gaming market, and lawmakers in Oklahoma are pushing to pass a sports betting bill.
In Florida, West Flagler has been fighting to stop operations since the D.C. Circuit Court ruled in favor of the Seminole Tribe's gaming compact, allowing online sports betting in the state. The latest filing is another step in the ongoing legal battle between the two parties. According to West Flagler, it is crucial that the Supreme Court does not allow Florida's unlawful approach to sports betting to become a model, or for the D.C. Circuit decision to create confusing and misleading precedent.
In Massachusetts, two operators, Betr and WynnBET, have been approved to exit the market. The pair will officially halt their Massachusetts sports betting operations on February 23, one year after gaining temporary licenses. [Revisit for further details.]

Discussion on: Latest Sports Betting News: Florida, Massachusetts
West Flagler, a group challenging Florida's sports betting laws, has filed a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court to review the legality of Florida sports betting. According to the group, the D.C. Circuit Court's ruling in favor of the Seminole Tribe's gaming compact, which allows for online sports betting in Florida, is unlawful and should not be used as a model for other jurisdictions.In related news, two operators, Betr and WynnBET, have been approved to exit Massachusetts' gaming market. The pair will officially halt their sports betting operations in the state on February 23, one year after gaining temporary licenses. WynnBET is also home to the retail sportsbook and Encore Boston Harbor, and plans to change the name of the retail operation at some point in the future.
The reason for WynnBET's exit from Massachusetts is part of a larger effort to scale back its online betting operation, as the company has already exited ten other markets.
