Louisiana is the only state in the country where you have to check the parish line before placing a wager. Voters in each of the 64 parishes had to individually approve sports betting, and 55 said yes. Mobile apps went live at 8 a.m. on January 28, 2022, just in time for that weekend's NFL conference championship games.
Act 80 (2020) and Act 440 (2021) created a two-step legal framework: first the parish-by-parish referendum, then a licensing structure tethered to the state's existing riverboat casinos, racetracks, and the land-based casino in New Orleans. The nine parishes that voted no are clustered in the rural north and central parts of the state, including Caldwell, LaSalle, and Union. If your phone's GPS pings a no parish, the app will refuse the bet, period.
