What restrictions are in place?

You need to be over the age of 21 to place sports bets in Louisiana and you also need to be within state lines and within a parish that has voted for the legalization. Geolocational data will be used to verify your exact location at the time of placing any bets. 55 of the 64 Louisiana parishes approved sports betting prior to opening up the market.

This means that if you’re in Franklin, Jackson, Catahoula, Caldwell, La Salle, Sabine, Winn, West Carroll, or Union then unfortunately you’re unable to place bets for now, but who knows what the future holds?. Like all US gambling providers, Louisiana does not allow bets on high school sports or youth sports. The rules for sports betting in Louisiana are much the same as other US states, although the state operates under emergency legislation until February 2022 and this may be extended for an additional six months.

What type of bets can I place?

Just some of the available bet types in Louisiana include:

• Point spreads
• First half and second half results
• Futures
• Player props
• Totals

What sportsbooks are available in Louisiana?

There are 19 land-based casinos operating in Louisiana, including BetMGM Lousiana and each one can legally apply for up to two online partners. Online and mobile betting did not become legal until 28 January 2022. Five of the casinos in the state are owned by Caesars and they will almost certainly operate the Caesars LA sportsbook, rather than choosing to partner with any other online or mobile sportsbook provider.
