The market
Louisiana approved betting parish by parish, so online wagering is available in most parishes but not every one. Online operators have paid 21.5% since August 2025, up from 15% at launch. Where it's live, it's a solid market.
What this means for matched betting
Check your parish first: online wagering was approved parish by parish and isn't offered everywhere in the state. Where it is, a 21.5% tax and a competitive field make for a normal, workable market.
