The market
Louisiana approved betting on a parish-by-parish basis, so online wagering is available in most but not every parish. Online operators have paid a 21.5% tax since August 2025, up from 15% at launch. The market is solid in the parishes where it operates.
What this means for matched betting
Check availability in your parish first, because online wagering was approved parish by parish and is not offered everywhere in the state. Where it is available, a 21.5% tax and a competitive field make for a normal, workable market.
Figures are indicative and can change as markets evolve. Always confirm current rules, tax and the legal age with the LGCB before you bet.
