I have advised clients in similar situations and it is very complicated. Basically, in Florida it is not legal. There are at least 3 government agencies that would need to be researched.
Florida Lottery
Florida Division of Pari-Mutual Wagering
Florida Division of Consumer Services
When I have started out with clients it quickly became clear that it would not be feasible to set something private up in Florida.
