How to Bet on the Super Bowl in Florida

Florida Super Bowl betting is legal and accessible for the 2026 season through the state's exclusive provider, Hard Rock Bet.

Traditional sportsbooks such as FanDuel and DraftKings are not yet regulated in the Sunshine State, but residents can use fully regulated prediction markets and social sportsbooks.

Prediction markets allow for legal Super Bowl trading on everything from game outcomes and player props to specific Super Bowl related novelty markets, like what will happen during the halftime show.

The New Way to Play: Florida Prediction Markets

If you’re looking for a new way to get in on the Super Bowl action, prediction market apps offer an alternative to traditional sportsbooks. Often described as a kind of stock market for real events, these platforms offer greater flexibility and market-driven odds.

Regulatory Peace of Mind

Unlike risky offshore websites that operate in legal gray zones, platforms like Kalshi are fully regulated by federal agencies, specifically the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). This means that any funds held by the platform are protected with the same level of security you’d expect from a major US financial exchange.

Market-Driven Odds

Traditional sportsbooks see players bet against the house, with the house setting odds to include a predetermined profit margin. Prediction markets, on the other hand, are a peer-to-peer model in which prices are set by users. As a result, it’s often possible to get better value odds via these regulated betting alternatives, because you’re trading against the crowd rather than a bookie.

Trade the Game

Prediction markets offer a new way to trade on events like the Super Bowl. With these markets, you can trade the game. By that, we mean that when you purchase a contract, you’re not locked in until the final whistle. Prices can spike or fall as the action unfolds. And when that happens, it’s up to you whether or not you want to wait it out or sell your position for an immediate profit.

Florida Super Bowl Prediction Markets Available Now

On Kalshi, Florida residents can trade outcome contracts for the 2026 Super Bowl matchup on prediction markets right now. Options include tiered spreads, game totals and specific player touchdown props for the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots.

Beyond the action on the field, the platform also offers a wide range of novelty markets, many of which you won’t find at traditional sportsbooks. These include everything from the specific tracks we can expect to hear during the halftime show, to the number of times a celebrity is shown on camera during the broadcast.

Daily Fantasy and Social Sportsbooks in Florida

Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) and social sportsbooks are also popular legal outlets for Florida fans. These platforms focus on the Pick'em model, which differs from a standard bet.

With DFS Pick’em props, instead of betting on which team will win, players build their own lineup of Super Bowl player props, with simple more or less questions. Apps like Underdog Fantasy and Sleeper are the go-to options in Florida.

There are legal social sportsbooks in Florida. Platforms like Fliff and Thrillzz use a sweepstakes model, where players play with virtual currency and make predictions on the game. There’s no need to make a purchase before playing, so these platforms are widely accessible across the Sunshine State.

Most DFS Pick'em platforms require players to bundle at least two or more projections together. For the Super Bowl, options might include:

Player	Category	Line	Type
Sam Darnold	Passing Touchdowns	1.5	Higher/Lower
Drake Maye	Rushing Yards	32.5	More/Less
Kenneth Walker III	Anytime Touchdowns	0.5	Higher/Lower
Jaxon Smith-Njigba	Receiving Yards	94.5	More/Less

To win, players need to string together several of these picks in a single entry (similar to a parlay). The more correct picks you combine, the more you win.

Local Context and Florida Team Breakdown

Florida teams like the Miami Dolphins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Jacksonville Jaguars won’t be suiting up for the Super Bowl this year, but that hasn’t put a stop to betting in the state.

Data provided by Hard Rock Bet shows that many Miami-area fans are backing the New England Patriots to win. That could either be a disaster hedge against the Dolphins’ rival, or bettors getting behind MVP candidate Drake Maye.

After a heart-wrenching Wild Card exit, Jaguars fans in Duval County have largely pivoted to the Seattle Seahawks, with high trade volume on Seattle moneyline contracts.

How to Get Started: Trading Florida Prediction Markets

Registering for prediction markets like Kalshi is quick and simple. Because these platforms are federally regulated or operate under sweepstakes/DFS laws, the process is similar to opening a new account on a banking app.

1. Select Your Platform

Choose your app. For event trading (buying/selling ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ outcomes like a stock), download Kalshi. For player props (picking More/Less on player stats), go with Underdog Fantasy or Sleeper.

2. Verify Your Identity

To comply with federal and state regulations, you need to verify your identity with the platform next. This is a fairly standard security measure that simply ensures you’re of legal age (18+) and a Florida resident. You need to provide your legal name, home address, and a form of ID, like a driver’s license or passport. Verification is usually instant or takes less than five minutes.

3. Deposit & Trade

Once verified, you can fund your account. Most Florida users opt for Instant ACH (bank transfer) or debit card transfers for immediate access to funds. Kalshi also supports USDC (Crypto) for traders.

Account funded, you can now select a Super Bowl contract. Choose a market, select ‘Yes’ or ‘No,’ enter your trade amount and click Place Trade.

On Kalshi, you can choose to purchase contracts at the current market prices, or set a limit order. If you do this, you’re choosing to buy only if the price drops below a certain point.

Florida Sports Betting: The Current Legal Landscape

Florida’s sports betting journey has been unique. While many states have an array of different apps competing against one another, Florida has built its sports betting laws around a 30-year agreement between the state and the Seminole Tribe.

Under the exclusive agreement, the tribe has a monopoly on traditional sports betting. And that’s why the likes of FanDuel and DraftKings don’t offer regulated sportsbooks in Florida.

The current deal was ratified in 2021, so the tribe is expected to retain exclusive control over sports betting and new casino games until at least 2051.

Florida’s legal framework requires all online sports wagers to be processed through servers on tribal land, effectively making Hard Rock Bet the only available option for standard betting.

Florida residents still have access to a number of other legal alternatives that operate under different federal or state sweepstakes laws, such as prediction markets.
