PointsBet Goes Live in Louisiana

Australian sportsbook PointsBet has gotten approval from the Louisiana Gaming Control Board to launch its mobile sports betting product in the state.

Louisiana marks the fourth state PointsBet has launched in partnership with Penn National Gaming in the United States. It also represents the 12th regulated market in the bag for the online sportsbook, having gone live in other jurisdictions like New Jersey, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Colorado, Michigan, West Virginia, Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania, Kansas and Louisiana.

As a result of the license, Louisiana sports fans, from Bourbon Street to the Bayou, can now access PointsBet’s premium sports betting products and wager on a selection of sporting events like the NFL and CFB.

The PointsBet team is excited to share that we are now officially live in the Pelican state and that Louisiana is our twelfth state of online operations. The sports community of Louisiana, one that our very own brand ambassador Drew Brees is very familiar with, is unmatched with their devotion and passion for their local teams, the New Orleans Saints of the NFL, New Orleans Pelicans of the NBA and nationally recognized college football programs.
