Rebet says it is available in Florida under a sweepstakes model, the same model used by apps like Chumba and McLuck. That is Rebet's position: no Florida court or regulator has ruled on Rebet, so treat it as unsettled rather than as a "yes".
Quick answer
Rebet says it is available in Florida under a sweepstakes model rather than a state gambling licence. No Florida court or regulator has confirmed that for Rebet, and there is no CFTC oversight, which is the trade-off versus Kalshi.

The argument for the sweepstakes model
Florida Statute Chapter 849 defines gambling as three things happening together: consideration (money in), chance (a random outcome), and prize (money out). Remove any one leg and it's not gambling.
Rebet uses a two-coin system. Rebet Coins are play-only. Sweeps Coins can be redeemed for cash — but you never buy Sweeps Coins directly. You get them free as bonuses on Rebet Coin purchases, as daily login rewards, or by mailing in a written request (the AMOE). Because a free path exists, Rebet's position is that there is no "consideration" and the system falls outside Chapter 849. No Florida court or regulator has confirmed this for Rebet.

Rebet vs Kalshi legality in Florida
They rest on different legal bases. Kalshi is a CFTC-designated contract market and relies on federal commodities law; whether state gambling law can also apply to its sports contracts is in dispute in the federal courts. Rebet is a sweepstakes operator that says it sits outside state gambling law. Neither holds a Florida gaming licence.

Frequently asked questions
Is Rebet legal in Florida?
Rebet says it is available in Florida under a sweepstakes model with virtual coins. That is Rebet's position, not a ruling by a Florida court or regulator. Check Rebet's terms for age and eligibility before you sign up.
Why isn't Rebet considered gambling in Florida?
Rebet's position is that a sweepstakes with a free method of entry (you can get sweeps coins without paying) lacks the 'consideration' element in Florida's definition of gambling. No Florida court or regulator has confirmed that for Rebet.
How old do you have to be to use Rebet in Florida?
18 is the minimum, though we recommend 21+ for anything involving cash-redeemable prizes.
Can I use Rebet alongside other Florida apps?
Yes. Rebet's sweepstakes model sits outside Florida gambling licensing, so it can be used alongside regulated event-contract platforms like Polymarket US and Kalshi.
Do I have to pay Florida taxes on Rebet winnings?
Florida has no state income tax. Federal tax rules for sweepstakes prizes apply; check Rebet's terms for any tax forms it sends on prize redemptions and keep your own records.
Is Rebet blocked in any Florida cities or counties?
No. Rebet is available statewide. There are no local Florida jurisdictions that block sweepstakes apps.
