Everyone looking to engage with online sports betting in Florida can do so easily by downloading the Hard Rock Bet app from their favorite app store, or visiting the hardrock.bet website.

Creating an account only takes a few moments. You’ll be asked to enter some personal information like name, address, email, choose a password, and the like.

Notably, you will be asked to provide the last four digits of your social security number before you can bet on sports in Florida, or with Hard Rock Bet. This is the industry standard across all states that have legalized sports betting. Before you can place a legal bet, you have to prove who you are – and the last four digits of your SSN helps to do that.

Keep in mind, no Hard Rock Bet promo code is required at any point during the sign up or deposit process to claim the best possible bonus offer (more on this to come).

After signing up Florida sports bettors can fund their Hard Rock Bet account through a variety of popular methods. These methods include:

• Instant bank transfer: Safely access your bank and facilitate easy, quick transfers to and from your account.
• Credit/Debit Cards: A very popular method for adding funds to Hard Rock Bet. Notably, you can’t withdraw to a card – so be prepared to set up the bank transfer option so when you need to cash out, you don’t have to wait. Visa, MasterCard, and American Express are supported.
• PayPal: Safe, secure, fast – PayPal has been around forever and still functions as a top payment choice for Hard Rock Bet customers.

To legally bet on sports in Florida, and with Hard Rock Bet, a few core requirements must be satisfied:

Florida sports betting age

You must be at least 21 years old to bet on sports in Florida. All but a select handful of states that have legalized online sports betting have chosen 21 as their minimum age, so Florida is very much on par here. If you aren’t 21, you can’t place bets on Hard Rock Bet, or anywhere else in the state of Florida.

You have to actually be in Florida

All Florida sports bettors must be inside the state of Florida in order to legally place a bet. Since online sports betting in Florida is geofenced, you will have to prove your location before you can place a legal wager on Hard Rock Bet.

When you download the Hard Rock Bet app to your mobile device this is done easily through the Location Services function of your phone. As long as you grant the app permission to use your location, you’re all set.

If you’re going to bet online with Hard Rock through a computer you will be asked to download and install GeoComply, which will effectively relay your location to the sportsbook.

As long as you are physically in the state of Florida, and can prove it through your phone or with GeoComply, you’re good to go here.

Hard Rock Bet also offers Arizona sports betting, Indiana sports betting, New Jersey sports betting, Ohio sports betting, Tennessee sports betting, and Virginia sports betting. Hard Rock Bet also launched with Illinois sports betting in August 2024.

The state of Florida and Hard Rock Bet have compiled an excellent list of sports and markets for in-state bettors to enjoy.

Since there is only one online sportsbook in Florida, there is only one sports betting rewards program in Florida… and it’s a great one. At its core, the Hard Rock Bet Loyalty program is structured similarly to most rewards programs.

You’re enrolled automatically for Hard Rock Bet Loyalty Rewards after registration, and for each bet that you place you will be compensated with points. The more points you earn, the higher your tier, and the higher the tier, the better the rewards multiplier and prizes.

While the “Headliner Treatment” is available for players at all levels, at the highest tiers, perks like extra multiplier boosts and VIP account management are available.

Hard Rock Bet regularly offers Florida sports betting promotions for both new and existing players alike:

Battle of the Bets

Battle of the Bets has arrived on Hard Rock Bet. Every day we’ll pit two bets against each other… simply pick a side, bet $1+, and if it hits, an equal share of the $250K+ Bonus Bet purse is headed your way. If neither side hits we’ll add to the prize pool and run it back the next day.

Sign up offer: $100 back if your first bet doesn’t win

The current sign up offer for new customers is up to $100 back if your first bet doesn’t win. How does the promotion work? Let’s explain.

All new Florida sports bettors will be eligible for the offer with Hard Rock Bet. Simply make a deposit after creating an account and place an initial wager. If that wager happens to lose, Hard Rock Bet will credit a Bonus Bet that is equal to the amount of the lost wager, up to a maximum of $100.

There are a few terms and conditions that accompany the offer. Qualifying wagers must be at least $10, only the very first bet will qualify, the maximum award is $100, and importantly, resulting bonus bets will expire after 7 days – so be sure to use it! Further, Bonus Bets for this promotion will only pay out winnings. For example, placing a successful wager with a $100 Bonus Bet and +100 odds will return the user $100, the profit, as opposed to $200, the profit plus the initial stake. Full T&C apply.

No Hard Rock Bet promo code is required to claim the above offer.

Boosts

Florida sports bettors will also have access to Odds Boosts and Profit Boosts through Hard Rock Bet. What are boosts? Exactly what it sounds like. It’s a chance to take a wager at a boosted price or payout.

For example, let’s say you’re looking at NBA games for the night and see one you like at +110, but it’s actually received an Odds Boost to +120. This means you stand to win more without risking more if it wins.

With a Profit Boost you’re in charge of where to apply it, and instead of the odds changing, it’s the payout. For example, if a wager was set to pay $100 but you had a 20% profit boost – that takes the potential payment up to $120.

What boosts are currently available in Florida? Check the ‘Boosts’ and ‘Promotions’ section of the app or website. Look for the golden rocketship.
