Report them for what? You made the choice to gamble. The chances are good that the company is located in a foreign country where the online gaming is legal. Florida recognizes a responsibility for payment of debts which are legal in a foreign jurisdiction even if that debt would not be legal in this state.

Re: on line gaming

See Mr. Jay's reply. It is accurate with one exception. The gambling debt itself is not enforceable in Florida. However if you are sued in a jurisdiction where such debts can be enforced and a judgment is entered, then the judgment can ultimately be enforced in Florida.
