How to legally bet on sport in New Orleans

While Louisiana legalized sports betting back in November 2020, each individual parish in the state still gets to decide whether betting on sport is permitted. Thankfully the Orleans parish was one of those that said, ‘yes’ to legal sports betting, and this has paved the way for legal sports betting in New Orleans. Just remember that you have to be at least 21 years old to gamble anywhere in Louisiana.

You have a couple of options for putting down a sports bet at a physical sportsbook in New Orleans. These are either to head to the Boomtown Casino & Hotel New Orleans where Barstool has a sportsbook, or to go to Harrah’s Casino New Orleans where you’ll find the Caesars sportsbook.

However, the more convenient option is to simply download one of the six legal sports betting apps. Just remember that each of these apps is equipped with geolocation software to make sure that you are actually betting from within one of the permitted parishes in Louisiana.

Setting up an online sportsbook account is pretty simple, and you can either do it at the brand’s website or via the app itself. Be prepared to have to provide a fair amount of personal information like your address and social security number to verify your identity. But from here you should get your account verified in no time and then you can make your deposits and put your bets down. Easy!
