    Louisiana sports betting updates

    Louisiana sports betting was officially legalized on June 22, 2021, when Gov. John Bel Edwards signed the state’s two final pieces of sports betting legislation into law.

    Here’s a summary of Louisiana’s sports betting journey to date:

    Nov. 21, 2022: Sports betting in Louisiana hits a record high in October as the state records its largest handle — $255.5 million — to date.

    Sept. 22, 2022: PointsBet launches in Louisiana, making it an even dozen states where U.S. players can access its online sportsbook. 

    Sept. 7, 2022: Ribbon-cutting ceremonies were held to inaugurate the opening of two new Louisiana Caesars retail sportsbooks: Caesars retail sportsbooks: Harrah's New Orleans and Horseshoe Bossier City Hotel & Casino.

    July 11, 2022: Caesars announces the opening of a new sportsbook at Harrah's New Orleans this fall, in addition to an all-new World Series of Poker Room as part of a $325-million conversion of the space, soon to be renamed Caesars New Orleans.

    April 25, 2022: BlueBet Holdings Ltd reaches a 10-year market access agreement with Louisiana Downs in Bossier City. BlueBet will operate a new online sportsbook in Louisiana under its U.S. brand, ClutchBet.

    March 14, 2022: In its first full month with legal mobile wagering (February), Louisiana brought in a record $238 million in sports betting handle. Nearly 90% of that amount was due to online and mobile wagering. 

    Feb. 14, 2022: Payments platform Paysafe begins processing mobile sports betting deposits in Louisiana.

    Feb. 10, 2022: Fubo Gaming reveals it has gained market access for Fubo Sportsbook in Louisiana via Caesars Entertainment, Inc.

    Feb. 9, 2022: WynnBET launches online operations in Louisiana. BetRivers Sportsbook becomes the official betting partner of the New Orleans Pelicans.

    Jan. 28, 2022: Louisiana officially launches legal online and mobile sports betting in 55 parishes, with six operators going live.

    Jan. 26, 2022: Louisiana Gaming Control Board Chairman Ronnie Johns announces that LA will launch online wagering on Jan. 28, 2022, in the 55 parishes that voted in favor of sports gambling.

    Jan. 25, 2022: WynnBET announces its pre-registration offer is now live in Louisiana. Bettors can make a deposit of $10 — followed by a $10 wager when the sportsbook launches — to receive $250 in free bets.

    Jan. 20, 2022: A Louisiana Gaming Control Board meeting concludes with no mention of a launch date for mobile sports betting.

    Jan. 12, 2022: Louisiana Gaming Control Board Chair Ronnie Johns tells Covers, "We are getting close to the rollout of mobile betting. I cannot give you a definitive date, but the Gaming Division at LA State Police is working overtime to get through the compliance and suitability issues with the vendors." Johns also highlights geofencing technology as something the state needs to perfect. Nine LA parishes chose not to approve sports betting in November 2020.

    Jan. 5, 2022: Boyd Gaming announces plans to begin construction of a 47,000-square-foot replacement for Treasure Chest Casino. The new land-based project is expected to get underway this summer in Kenner, LA, with the hopes of opening its doors late in 2023.

    Dec. 9, 2021: After soft launches a day earlier, FanDuel officially opens two retail sportsbooks in Louisiana casinos — Treasure Chest Casino and Delta Downs. Three more FanDuel locations are expected to open their doors in the coming weeks.

    Nov. 16, 2021: Louisiana Gaming Control Board Chairman Ronnie Johns reiterates the state's focus on getting all 20 retail sportsbooks up and running in Louisiana. With eight locations operational and five licenses to be handed out in the coming weeks, LA will soon be left with seven properties that have yet to submit applications. Online and mobile sports betting will be next on the agenda.

    Nov. 11, 2021: A ribbon-cutting ceremony marks the opening of the DraftKings Sportsbook at Golden Nugget Casino Lake Charles, while the Penn National Gaming run Sportsbook at L’Auberge opens its doors, too.

    Nov. 8, 2021: DraftKings announces plans for a new retail sportsbook at Golden Nugget Casino Lake Charles, pending regulatory approvals. 

    Oct. 31, 2021: Caesars Sportsbook goes live at Harrah's New Orleans and Horseshoe Bossier City Casino. The two retail locations are the first to offer legal sports betting at a Louisiana commercial casino.

    Oct. 6, 2021: Louisiana sports betting is live as Paragon Casino Resort launches a Betfred Sportsbook — the first retail sportsbook in the state.

    Sept. 30, 2021: WynnBET gained market access in Louisiana, which marked the 17th U.S. jurisdiction in which its platform has secured a footprint.

    June 22, 2021: Gov. John Bel Edwards signs SB 142 and SB 247 into law. Edwards had signed a third piece of sports betting legislation, HB 697, on June 7.

    May 2021: HB 697 and SB 247 move through the Senate. These bills outline sports betting tax rates — 10% and 15% on in-person and online bets, respectively — and the number of licenses (20) that will be made available.

    Nov. 3, 2020: Voters in 55 of Louisiana’s 64 parishes agree to welcome sports betting into their communities.

    May 14, 2018: SCOTUS (The Supreme Court of the United States) strikes down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA). This sets the stage for legal sports betting in the United States and allows individual states to set their own rules and regulations.

    Why DraftKings is the best sportsbook in Louisiana

    Since DraftKings Sportsbook came online in January 2022, it has ascended the ranks to become the best sportsbook in Louisiana. Covers has bestowed this distinction upon them due to an excellent overall product that boasts innovative touches, an exceptional mobile app, and strong betting odds.

    New DraftKings customers in the Bayou State can enjoy a bet $5, get $200 in bonus bets offer without the need for a promo code. Once you've signed up and deposited funds into your account, you can place a qualifying wager of at least $5 on any sports market to get $200 in bonus bets. Hurry, though — the offer expires on Feb. 12, 2023.

    The DraftKings mobile app is our personal favorite — available via the Apple App Store and Google Play Store — thanks largely to its overall design and utility. Access to 24/7 customer support and integration with daily fantasy sports has DraftKings landing on our list of best sports betting apps for 2023.

    Securing the best price remains a top priority for LA bettors, and we found competitive betting odds for top-tier matchups and events. Check out our expert DraftKings Sportsbook review to learn more about Louisiana’s top sportsbook.

    Online sports betting: How does it work in Louisiana?

    Louisiana has taken a decidedly different approach to legalize sports betting. The Pelican State is the first U.S. state to allow its parishes (similar to counties) to decide the fate of the best sports betting sites in each of their communities.

    Legal mobile wagering debuted on Jan. 28, 2022, and immediately saw six operators launch their respective mobile apps. Caesars Sportsbook was the first to take a bet — an $80 wager on the Cincinnati Bengals moneyline at +285 for a potential win of $228. The state's first retail sportsbook — Betfred Sports at Paragon Casino Resort — debuted on Oct. 6, 2021.

    Expect to see up to 20 brick-and-mortar sportsbooks and 41 Louisiana sports betting sites.

    Latest Louisiana betting news

    Who can bet on sports in Louisiana?

    Sports betting is live in Louisiana, as the first retail and online sportsbooks have opened their physical and virtual doors to the public. Adults 21 and over are permitted to place legal sports bets in the Pelican State.

    However, nine of the 64 parishes in Louisiana voted not to allow sports betting within their borders. Hence, both retail and mobile wagering remains illegal in the following locations: Caldwell, Catahoula, Franklin, Jackson, LaSalle, Sabine, Union, West Carroll, and Winn.

    Here's a quick breakdown of everything you'll need to know before you place your first LA sports bet.

    21plus Legal age

    Louisiana sports betting is available to adults 21 and over.

    21plus Mobile betting

    As of Jan. 28, 2022, Louisianans are able to place mobile bets from anywhere within the 55 parishes that have approved legalized sports betting. The Louisiana Gaming Control Board regulates mobile betting.

    21plus Remote registration

    Sports bettors can register with Louisiana sportsbooks from anywhere in the 55 parishes that have approved sports betting.

    globe Within state borders

    With mobile sports betting now live, players are required to not only have both feet on the ground in Louisiana but the 55 parishes that have voted in favor of sports gambling.

    Retail sportsbooks are found exclusively in these parishes, while online sportsbooks use geofencing to confirm that sports bettors aren’t wandering into unregulated territory.

    bank Retail sportsbooks

    Louisiana is home to 12 retail sportsbooks. Additional commercial locations will be located in Louisiana state-operated casinos and racinos. Twenty such facilities will be eligible to apply for a license to offer in-person betting.

    percent Taxable winnings

    Like all gambling income in the United States, sports bet winnings in the Pelican State are subject to a 25% federal tax. But that’s not all — the state of Louisiana takes a cut of your earnings as well. Make sure to earmark 5% of your winnings for state tax purposes.

    The pros and cons of Louisiana sports betting

    Louisiana projects to be a highly competitive sports betting market — and this is great news for sports bettors. As Louisiana sportsbooks compete for your business, you’ll be offered plenty of sign-up bonuses as you prepare to place your first sports wagers in the Pelican State.

    Now that online sports betting is available in Louisiana, the state is on the fast track to realizing its full potential.

    How to start betting in Louisiana

    LA sports bettors can place wagers at home with Louisiana sports betting sites or visit brick-and-mortar locations to get in on the action in person. With remote registration in the cards, betting on sports in the Pelican State is as convenient as it is enjoyable.

    1

    Select a sportsbook

    Time will tell how quickly Louisiana's sportsbook licenses will be awarded, but up to 41 online sportsbooks could be available in the not-too-distant future. For now, there are nine Louisiana sports betting sites to choose from.

    While checking out some of the sportsbook reviews that filter in, bettors will also be advised to carefully evaluate betting lines, promotions, and the customer support of each online platform. Perusing terms and conditions pages should be a part of the selection process as well.

    2

    Register online

    Louisiana sportsbooks have made online registration a breeze. Sports bettors can simply enter some personal information via a mobile device or computer, verify their location, and confirm their identity with a driver’s license or SSN to create an online sports betting account.

    3

    Claim a bonus

    The Louisiana sports betting market is shaping up to be one of the most competitive in the United States. As online providers battle it out, they should offer attractive bonuses to convince bettors to choose their betting platforms. 

    Look for popular bonuses like risk-free bets, no-deposit bonuses, and deposit matches.

    4

    Deposit funds

    Louisiana sportsbooks allow you to fund your account in a variety of ways. Popular methods include PayPal, bank transfers, credit/debit, PayNearMe, and more.

    Be sure to keep an eye on any relevant terms and conditions to avoid unexpected transaction fees.

    5

    Choose your bet types

    All of the types of wagers you’d find in other states should be available in the Pelican State as well. These include moneylines, Over/Unders (totals), point spreads, parlays, prop bets, and futures.

    6

    Start betting

    Once the most advantageous betting line has been identified, it’ll be time to place your first Louisiana sports bet. Take your time, shop around, and ensure you’re 100% comfortable before confirming your wager.

    7

    Withdraw funds

    When accessing your bankroll, expect Louisiana’s sportsbooks to take a bit longer to process your withdrawals. Deposits may show up in your account immediately, but it may take a day or two when funds are traveling in the other direction.

    Reading the odds

    American odds are the go-to option for Louisiana betting sites. These odds are displayed by listing a minus sign (-) or plus sign (+) to identify favorites and underdogs, respectively.

    The number next to a favorite will show you the amount you’ll need to wager to win $100. For example, -130 odds tell you that a $130 bet will earn you $100.

    Underdogs are riskier bets — but the payouts are much more substantial. The number listed next to the plus sign represents the amount you stand to win when placing a $100 wager. For example, +220 odds indicate a winning $100 bet would net you $220 in profit.

    What you can't bet on in Louisiana

    Although Louisiana bettors are now permitted to legally place online wagers on sports, there are still numerous other types of events — such as esports — that remain off-limits.

    Covers miss icon

    Politics

    Louisiana gamblers are not permitted to gamble on any political event. 

    Covers miss icon

    Entertainment award ceremonies

    Louisianans are not expected to be able to bet on celebrity and pop-culture events, such as the Academy Awards.

    Covers miss icon

    esports

    Unsurprisingly, betting on esports is illegal in Louisiana. This is unlikely to change until sports betting rules and regulations have been established, and even then, it’s no guarantee.

    What about Louisiana college sports?

    Louisianans can bet on any college game in the nation. While many other states have deemed in-state college teams off-limits, Louisiana will put no such limitations in place. Unfortunately, there does appear to be a ban on individual prop bets on collegiate athletes.

    LA sports betting handle

    Thirteen of Louisiana's 20 brick-and-mortar casinos have been formally authorized to open sportsbooks to accommodate in-person betting. 

    The Paragon Casino Resort — owned by the state's Tunica-Biloxi Tribe — accepted the state's first legal retail wager. However, the Louisiana Gaming Control Board doesn't have regulatory control over tribal establishments.

    Other types of gambling

    The Pelican State has a rich gambling history that dates back to the 18th century. Today, you can find 15 riverboat casinos, four racetracks, and one land-based casino in Louisiana.

    On Monday, July 11, 2022, Caesars announced the opening of a new sportsbook at Harrah's New Orleans, plus a new World Series of Poker Room. The upgrades to the existing space are part of a $325-million transformation, which will soon change its name to Caesars New Orleans.

    While mobile sports wagering is no longer off-limits in Louisiana, there are still limitations when it comes to other forms of online gambling. Failing to adhere to any state rules concerning online gambling can lead to some severe penalties, so it’s best to stay away from unregulated offshore websites.

    casino Casino

    Each of Louisiana’s casinos offers classic games such as blackjack, roulette, and craps. You can also find slots, pai gow, and live poker at many of these locations.

    As mentioned, there are no real money online casinos in Louisiana. The only alternative is sweepstakes casinos. These websites operate under U.S. sweepstakes laws and do not require a purchase to play.

    poker Poker

    You can find live poker at a number of casinos in Louisiana. There are nearly a dozen poker rooms in the state. Additionally, video poker can be found at numerous bars and truck stops across the state.

    Online poker is strictly forbidden in Louisiana. Avoid any website claiming to be legal in the Pelican State.

    Global Poker, a sweepstakes website, is the only option for online poker players in Louisiana.

    Horse and jockey Horse racing

    Louisiana is home to four racetracks and 17 off-track betting (OTB) locations. Bettors can wager on live races or enjoy a simulcast and bet on local or national races.

    Bettors are free to use the best horse racing betting sites — like TVG and TwinSpires — to place wagers from home or OTB sites.

    Horse and jockey Daily fantasy sports

    Daily fantasy sports was legalized in 47 of Louisiana’s 64 parishes in 2018. DraftKings received the first DFS license in July 2021.

    Responsible gaming in Louisiana

    Problem gambling exists in every state. Fortunately, there are plenty of resources available to Louisianans who feel they’re in over their heads. The Louisiana Association on Compulsive Gambling aims to educate, prevent, and treat problem gambling via a series of helplines and recovery centers.

    Individuals may also voluntarily exclude themselves from all betting activity by joining a self-exclusion program. Sportsbooks will also provide players with tools to limit their betting activity. The option to set deposit, wager and loss limits will allow players to bet responsibly.

    Louisiana sports betting conclusion

    Louisiana sports betting is set to explode as the number of sites currently live sits at eight, with numerous more planning to launch. Louisiana sportsbooks do not come without their limitations — bettors cannot access college player props, e-sports, or online casino sites.

    Between the launch of several retail sportsbooks and Lousiana betting sites, we expect the total handle to increase rapidly. Louisiana is a competitive and high-upside state that is just scratching the surface of its sports betting potential.
