Can I obtain a fantasy sports license in Florida? What are the requirements?

To operate a fantasy sports business in Florida, you need to obtain a license from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The license is issued under the category of “Contest of Skill” [1.1]. However, there is no specific license for fantasy sports in Florida. Instead, you need to obtain a general business license and register your business with the Florida Department of State [1.1].

To obtain a general business license, you need to follow the standard procedure for registering a business in Florida. You can visit the Florida Department of State’s website to register your business and obtain a license [1.1]. Additionally, you may need to obtain a sales tax permit from the Florida Department of Revenue if you plan to sell goods or services [1.1].

There are no specific requirements for obtaining a fantasy sports license in Florida. However, if you plan to operate a fantasy sports business that involves Major League Baseball for Spring Training Baseball Franchise Certifications, you need to follow the certification process outlined in FLREG 73A-2.001 [1.2].

If you are a non-resident seeking licensure in Florida, you need to pass a written examination that tests your knowledge of Florida law, statutes, and administrative rules related to general real estate license law [2.1]. Additionally, you need to satisfy post-license and continuing education requirements [2.2].

I hope this information helps.
