	DraftKings entered the Florida market as the state gradually legalized sports betting and daily fantasy sports (DFS) during the 2010s. The company started by operating within Florida's legal framework for daily fantasy sports contests, which the state permitted under existing law before regulated sports betting arrived. In 2015, after DFS surged nationwide, Florida regulators scrutinized DraftKings. They wanted to know if daily fantasy sports counted as gambling under state statute. This legal uncertainty pushed DraftKings to work with Florida regulatory bodies and legislators on clear operational guidelines.<ref>{{cite web \|title=DraftKings legal status in Florida examined by state gaming board \|url=https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/2015/11/12/draftkings-legal-status-florida/3405672/ \|work=Palm Beach Post \|access-date=2026-02-26}}</ref>		DraftKings entered the Florida market as the state gradually legalized sports betting and daily fantasy sports (DFS) during the 2010s.

	~~Everything changed in~~ December 2023~~. That's when~~ the State of Florida, the Seminole Tribe of Florida, and sports betting operators reached a ~~historic~~ gaming compact agreement. DraftKings secured one of the licenses to operate a retail and online sportsbook in Florida, a key expansion beyond daily fantasy sports. The agreement had been negotiated over several years with extensive regulatory review behind it, positioning DraftKings alongside other major operators serving Florida's estimated multi-billion-dollar sports betting market.

The compact's legal path wasn't simple. It proceeded only after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to block it in 2023, resolving years of litigation over whether the agreement complied with the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act and federal compacting requirements.<ref>{{cite web \|title=Supreme Court clears way for Florida sports betting under Seminole Tribe compact \|url=https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/state-politics/article280000000.html \|work=Miami Herald \|access-date=2026-02-26}}</ref> DraftKings secured one of the licenses to operate a retail and online sportsbook in Florida, a key expansion beyond daily fantasy sports.

			In December 2025, DraftKings announced the rollout of DraftKings Predictions, a predictions market platform that launched across 38 states, including Florida. The product allows users to make predictions on sports and entertainment outcomes through a structured market format distinct from traditional sportsbook wagering.<ref>{{cite web \|title=DraftKings Formally Launches Prediction Markets \|url=https://www.investors.com/news/draftkings-predictions-prediction-markets-launch-dkng-stock-risks/ \|work=Investor's Business Daily \|access-date=2026-02-26}}</ref> Florida's inclusion in the initial 38-state rollout reflected the state's position as one of DraftKings' largest and most active markets.

	DraftKings' expanded West Palm Beach presence has ~~boosted~~ the region's economic activity, especially in technology, customer service, and hospitality. The company set up operations in downtown West Palm Beach and partnered with existing hospitality venues, creating direct jobs for local residents. By 2024, DraftKings' Florida operations employed ~~several hundred people~~ across retail, technology, compliance, and customer support roles, with a significant concentration in Palm Beach County. The company's expansion also drove ancillary economic activity through work with local service providers, technology contractors, and hospitality partners.<ref>{{cite web \|title=DraftKings expands Florida workforce amid sports betting rollout \|url=https://www.wptv.com/news/regional/south-florida/draftkings-florida-expansion-jobs/ \|work=WPTV News \|access-date=2026-02-26}}</ref>		DraftKings' expanded West Palm Beach presence has strengthened the region's economic activity, especially in technology, customer service, and hospitality.

			Sportsbook operations have generated tax revenue for municipal and state budgets. Under the Florida gaming compact, sportsbook operators pay licensing fees and revenue-sharing percentages to the state, which then funds education, infrastructure, and regulatory oversight. The Florida Gaming Control Commission oversees compliance with these requirements, including DraftKings' retail and digital operations in the state. The retail sportsbook locations built in partnership with existing hospitality establishments and standalone venues throughout South Florida have driven foot traffic and cross-sector spending. Economists tracking the Florida sports betting market have observed that legal, regulated sportsbooks in major population centers like West Palm Beach replaced illicit betting channels and formalized economic activity that previously operated outside the regulated economy. DraftKings' marketing and promotional spending in the region, aimed at customer acquisition and retention, has also benefited local media outlets and advertising agencies.

			== Regulation ==

			The Florida Gaming Control Commission serves as the primary regulatory body overseeing DraftKings' operations in Florida. It's responsible for licensing, compliance monitoring, and enforcement under the terms of the Seminole Tribe compact and state gaming statutes. The Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering also plays a role in the oversight of gaming activity statewide. DraftKings holds a license permitting both retail and mobile sportsbook operations within the compact's framework, which requires the company to route mobile wagers through Seminole Tribe servers to comply with Indian gaming law. Not uncontroversial. That server-routing arrangement was at the center of the federal litigation that preceded the U.S. Supreme Court's decision allowing the compact to take effect.

DraftKings engages with Florida's regulatory establishment through a government affairs team with backgrounds in state politics, gaming regulation, and legislative advocacy. The company maintains formal relationships with officials at the Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering and members of the Seminole Tribe of Florida's gaming authority, subject to strict conflict-of-interest provisions under state law. Regulatory compliance in Florida requires ongoing coordination given the state's complex, multi-authority gaming framework, which differs from the single-agency structures found in states like New Jersey or Pennsylvania.

	West Palm Beach's evolution into a major sports and entertainment destination is reflected in DraftKings' presence there. The company's sportsbook operations have become woven into South Florida's sports culture, creating spaces where residents and visitors gather around professional and college sports events. DraftKings has sponsored local sports events, college athletics partnerships, and community initiatives throughout Florida, using these platforms to build brand presence and position itself as community-oriented. Legal sports betting through DraftKings has reshaped how Floridians view gambling, transforming an activity once linked to illicit operations or distant Las Vegas venues into mainstream, regulated entertainment accessible through retail and digital platforms.

	The Everglades Club was founded in 1919 by Paris Singer, son of the sewing machine magnate Isaac Singer, who conceived the project as a convalescent facility for World War I veterans before it was reimagined and opened as an exclusive private club.<ref>{{cite book \|last=Johnston \|first=Alva \|title=The Legendary Mizners \|publisher=Farrar, Straus and Young \|year=1953}}</ref> Singer commissioned his close friend [[Addison Mizner]], then a relatively obscure architect, to design the building.

	The founding of the club predated the Florida land boom of the mid-1920s by several years. By the time that speculative frenzy was transforming South Florida from a sparsely populated frontier into a destination for wealthy investors and seasonal residents, the Everglades Club was already an established institution at the center of Palm Beach social life. Henry Flagler's [[Florida East Coast Railway]] had reached Palm Beach in 1894, three decades before the club's founding, providing the rail infrastructure that made the island accessible to wealthy visitors from the American Northeast.<ref>{{cite book \|last=Kleinberg \|first=Howard \|title=Florida: A History \|publisher=Surfside Publishing \|year=1995}}</ref> The founding membership included prominent businessmen, industrialists, and philanthropists who sought a sophisticated venue for leisure and social engagement during the winter season.

	Mizner's architectural design for the club drew on Spanish, Moorish, and Italian sources to create a building of considerable visual richness. Arched windows, hand-painted decorative tiles, wrought iron detailing, and palm-lined interior courtyards give the structure its distinctive character.<ref>{{cite book \|last=Johnston \|first=Alva \|title=The Legendary Mizners \|publisher=Farrar, Straus and Young \|year=1953}}</ref> The building was conceived as both a functional club facility and an architectural statement~~. It embodied~~ the romantic, sun-drenched aesthetic that Mizner would go on to apply across dozens of Palm Beach estates and commercial buildings.

Careful stewardship has preserved the structural and decorative integrity of the original design, which retains much of its 1919 character today.

	The club's interior spaces feature collections of art, furnishings, and decorative objects that reflect both the personal collecting interests of prominent members and the club's long-term commitment to cultural stewardship. Mizner himself was an active collector of antiques and Spanish colonial art, and his aesthetic sensibility shaped the club's early interiors as much as its exterior architecture.		Paris Singer's broader cultural interests shaped the club's founding sensibility in ways that extended beyond architecture. Singer was a significant patron of the arts and a close companion of the dancer [[Isadora Duncan]], whose circle encompassed some of the most prominent artists and intellectuals of the early twentieth century. That milieu informed the cultural ambitions Singer brought to the Everglades Club project.

Mizner himself was an active collector of antiques and Spanish colonial art, and his aesthetic sensibility shaped the club's early interiors as much as its exterior architecture.

			The club's history through the mid-twentieth century tracked closely with the broader fortunes of Palm Beach. The collapse of the Florida land boom in 1926, followed by the Great Depression, tested many of the institutions that had flourished during the speculative frenzy of the early 1920s. The Everglades Club survived that period and maintained its operations through World War II, emerging in the postwar decades as a fixture of Palm Beach's reconstituted social season. It's a record of institutional continuity that few comparable clubs can match.

	== Membership and Social History ==		== Membership and Social History ==

	Membership in the Everglades Club has historically been selective and limited, with admission standards emphasizing social standing, professional achievement, and demonstrated ties to the Palm Beach community. The club's early decades reflected the exclusions characteristic of early twentieth-century American club culture. It was widely known as one of several Palm Beach institutions that maintained documented antisemitic admission policies throughout much of the twentieth century, a practice ~~that was~~ common among elite American private clubs of that era and that drew sustained criticism as American social norms shifted in the postwar period.<ref>{{cite news \|last=Rozhon \|first=Tracie \|title=Where the Elite Meet, Some Bias Still Lingers \|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1997/01/29/us/where-the-elite-meet-some-bias-still-lingers.html \|work=The New York Times \|date=1997-01-29 \|access-date=2024-01-15}}</ref> Not without controversy, this history remains part of the public record on the institution.

	The annual calendar of club events, which includes formal dinners, holiday celebrations, and recreational tournaments, has maintained continuity with historical traditions while adapting to contemporary preferences. The membership composition has always reflected the economic and demographic profile of Palm Beach itself, where substantial wealth, established family histories, and international business connections are common among residents. Governance rests with the membership through elected leadership, which has enabled the club to maintain its programming priorities consistent with its historical mission without external interference.

	Beyond its primary role as a recreational venue, the Everglades Club has functioned as a cultural and social institution for more than a century. Throughout its history, it has hosted lectures, exhibitions, musical performances, and other cultural events that have contributed to the intellectual and artistic life of the Palm Beach community. The club's library and reading rooms have served as spaces for discourse and private study. Its galleries and public rooms have periodically displayed works of art and historical artifacts of significance to the region.

	The club's role in Palm Beach's broader cultural ecology connects directly to its founder's interests. Paris Singer was a significant patron of the arts, and Addison Mizner brought to the project a deep familiarity with European decorative traditions. That founding sensibility set a tone the institution has broadly maintained. Private clubs in affluent resort communities often serve as informal patrons of the arts and conveners of intellectual exchange, and the Everglades Club has followed that tradition consistently across the decades.

	The club's archives and historical collections represent valuable primary sources for understanding the history of Palm Beach, the development of Addison Mizner's architectural practice, and the social history of one of America's most concentrated communities of wealth. Scholarly and popular interest in the Everglades Club reflects broader fascination with the history of exclusive institutions, American leisure culture, and Florida's long development as a winter destination for the nation's affluent population. The institution has maintained its character and autonomy despite the substantial changes that have transformed Palm Beach and South Florida over more than a hundred years. That continuity is itself a defining feature of the club's identity.
