Is Sports Betting Allowed in Shreveport?

Check out our guide to see what you have to do to legally bet on sport in Shreveport. The good news is that it’s easier than you think. Take a look below to find out more!

Sports betting is now legal in Shreveport and you can do it either at one of the physical sportsbooks or on a betting app. Sound good? Then let’s take a closer look at where you should be putting your bets down and how you can do it!

Welcoming legal sports betting in Shreveport

Most of Shreveport lies within Caddo Parish which was one of the many Louisiana parishes to accept legal sports betting. This is important as there are still a few parishes in the Pelican State where sports betting is not accepted.

Thankfully Caddo Parish fell in line when Louisiana largely voted to legalize sports betting back in November 2020. This means that anyone over the age of 21 can bet on sport in Louisiana as long as they are present within one of the parishes where sports betting is allowed. Sports betting is regulated by the Louisiana Gaming Control Board whose job it is to ensure that each sportsbook is putting on a safe and fair betting service.

Shreveport currently hosts a couple of awesome physical sportsbooks that both offer you a fun and relaxed way to put down your sports bets. The FanDuel sportsbook was launched with plenty of fanfare at the Sam’s Town Hotel and Casino in January 2022, while there’s also a cool sportsbook at Bally’s Casino Shreveport.

There are also six sports betting apps that can be used in Shreveport. These are once again regulated by the Louisiana Gaming Control Board, and they carry geolocation software to ensure that you’re playing from one of the permitted parishes.

More online sportsbooks are expected to launch in Louisiana in the coming months, but for now, here’s overview of the legal sports betting apps in the Pelican State:

Barstool: This awesome betting app already has a couple of physical sportsbooks in Louisiana. Downloading the Barstool app gives you a fast and fun way to bet on anybody from the Saints to the Pelicans or any other team.

BetMGM: Worried about putting down your first sportsbook bet? Then download the BetMGM app and get the brand’s welcome bonus. This awesome deal refunds your first bet, if it loses, by 100% up to $1,000. A great way to try your luck again!

BetRivers: A popular sportsbook up in the north-east of the nation, BetRivers is equally good down here in Shreveport. Especially as you can get a $250 deposit match bonus for signing up.

DraftKings: Launched in Louisiana with a huge welcome bonus for new customers. Definitely worth a closer look.

FanDuel: Probably needs no introductions as it’s a massive sports betting brand already!

Caesars: Another sportsbook you know all about from its recent sponsorship of the Superdome. Still, it’s got a top betting app and is well worth checking out.
