Mobile in 55 of 64 parishes. Retail statewide.
Louisiana has a parish-by-parish legalization structure — mobile sports betting is legal in 55 of 64 parishes (those that voted in favor in November 2020). DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, BetRivers, ESPN BET, and Fanatics operate where legal. The patchwork makes geolocation crucial — bettors who cross parish lines may lose access mid-session.
The authoritative source for Louisiana sports betting law is the state gaming or lottery authority. Bookie Bullies does not provide legal advice — verify current status here:
