Louisiana allows online and in-person sports wagers only in parishes that voted to authorise them. The online channel checks the player’s physical location. State law prohibits gambling by computer except for specified products such as authorised sports wagering; it does not license online casinos. Louisiana distinguishes the sportsbook licence from the platform provider. Under R.S. 27:604, the board may issue up to 20 sportsbook licences. Under R.S. 27:609, each licensee may contract with up to two providers for mobile wagering. A provider can supply its own branded website and an app with the same brand. On 7 November 2026 the board’s public list showed 10 sportsbook platform entries. That list gives company names and licence references. It does not list approved website addresses.
This guide describes what the cited sources establish. It does not verify a particular operator or website. An enacted framework may still require licences, rules or a launch.
