Where Can I Bet Online In Louisiana?
Unfortunately, online betting will not be allowed everywhere in Louisiana. Bettors will have to be in one of the 55 parishes where voters approved sports betting in order to place a mobile wager. No one can place sports wagers while located in these nine parishes: Caldwell, Catahoula, Franklin, Jackson, LaSalle, Sabine, Union, West Carrol, and Winn.
Geofencing technology will be used to allow bets in legal parishes and block bets from illegal parishes. Geofencing is already being used in areas of the country where online betting has been launched.
Bettors in the nine parishes that do not allow sports betting will have to drive to a parish that voted yes to legalizing sports betting in order to place a mobile wager.

Yes. In fact, we recommend downloading multiple sportsbook apps in order to take advantage of several bonuses. This helps to add more money to your bankroll. Keep in mind that some promos have limitations, so be sure to read the terms and conditions when signing up.
Retail sports betting is currently available at 10 brick-and-mortar casinos:
- New Orleans: Boomtown Casino & Hotel and Harrah’s New Orleans Hotel & Casino
- Bossier City: Horseshoe Bossier City Hotel & Casino, Margaritaville Resort Casino, and Boomtown Casino Hotel
- Shreveport: Sam’s Town Hotel and Casino
- Baton Rouge: L’Auberge Casino Hotel

- Marksville: Paragon Casino Resort and Hotel
Generally, bonus and promotional offers are only available when registering online. Many offers require bettors to create accounts on mobile apps and deposit money into their accounts before qualifying for the offer. Because of this, claiming sports betting bonuses at retail sportsbooks is not very common. However, be sure to read the terms and conditions for each offer to see if claiming a bonus in person is a possibility.
If there’s a retail location that you enjoy visiting to place sports bets, you will still be able to do so. The in-person sportsbooks will operate like normal once mobile betting is live. Some retail sportsbooks, like DraftKings at the Golden Nugget in Lake Charles, are in the process of building large, permanent sport betting areas for customers to enjoy.
