I don't think Disney is anywhere near getting gambling anytime soon. First, you need to be physically located in one of the states that allow sports betting, one of Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia or West Virginia. Even if Disney used ESPN to do something like this, you wouldn't be able to bet in CA or FL because the bettor needs to be located in one of the states I listed.
The Tribal Compact that the State of FL signed with the Seminole Tribe was doomed from the start. The Governor even said it was most likely going to end up in court when it was signed. The State of FL and the Tribe both though the judge would nullify the betting outside tribal lands and leave everything else intact and the suit would only deal with the betting off tribal lands. Instead she nullified the entire Compact. I really think the Tribe kind of knew it was headed to court and didn't really care one way or another if off Tribal land betting was nullified as long as they had exclusive rights to do it on their land. I don't think the Tribe thought the court would nullify the whole damn thing.
Regardless, in order to be able to offer sports betting, you had to be a parimutuel facility, either a horse track, a former dog track or a former Jai Lai Fronton. Disney doesn't own any of these. On top of being licensed by the State of FL, a Parimutuel facility needs to be allowed by the county. Not all counties in FL offer them and those that do aren't issuing new licenses. I know Orange & Osceola Counties don't allow parimutuel facilities. I know there's some regulation that limits the distance between the facilities. Even quarter horse racing can run a parimutuel operation and there's a whole lot of horses in Osceola County. Any horse track would get first dibs on one.
Right now, gambling expansion is prohibited by the state constitution. But let's assume that it's overturned. That's step 1. There's a whole lot of other things that need to happen and the first is establishing a physical location that accepts parimutuel wagering.
Disney just can't turn on sports betting without doing a whole lot of dancing and spending a lot of time. From the looks of it, it will be a few years until gambling is back on the ballot. I think Chapek said what he said to placate the person who asked the question without knowing the hoops Disney needs to jump through. It isn't like turning on a light switch by any means.
