Hard Rock online sportsbook merged with the company's iGaming casino to form Hard Rock Bet. Launching the gaming platform in five states that have legal sports betting sites (Arizona, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee and Virginia), Hard Rock Bet targets New Jersey at the end a summer.
There is hope that Florida is also next for Hard Rock Bet. The Seminole Tribe owns and operates Hard Rock International and the land-based casinos are up and down the coast of Florida. If the decision from the US Court of Appeals holds up, Hard Rock Bet could go live for opening day of the 2023 NFL's regular season.
