Sports Betting in Baton Rouge | What You Need To Know

Publish Date: 02/01/2022
Fact checked by: Mike Goodpaster

Nine Parishes within the state of Louisiana did not vote for the legalization of sports betting. However, Baton Rouge was not one of them, which is fantastic news for Baton Rouge residents!

Louisiana legal online sports betting is officially now live. It launched on Friday, January 28 at 8 a.m. CST. The launch date was determined after Louisiana’s sports betting regulation bill was signed into law way back in June 2021 by Gov. John Bel Edwards.

This bill allows as many as 41 online operators into Louisiana. For the official launch date, six LA sportsbooks received approval to go live, with lots more to come later on. If you reside in Baton Rouge, you’re allowed to engage in sports betting, so here are some great pointers:

You must be 21 years of age and be physically located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Your location will be verified by geolocation technology or a desktop plugin for you to wager legally.

Louisiana bettors, including those residing in Baton Rouge, will have access to Louisiana betting options on all the major leagues in the US, and that includes college basketball and football. There are even more options like European and other international sports to wager on.

Here are some of the most popular and most common betting types you’ll see as options on sportsbooks in Baton Rouge:

  • Point Spreads: Spread betting is a bet on the margin of victory in a game
  • Moneylines: Moneyline betting means picking the winning team of the game.
  • First Half & Second Half: Halves allow a sports bettor to treat the first and second half as separate matches.
  • Totals: A total is an over/under, and is a bet on the number of points both teams will score in a game combined.
  • Futures: Future bets are a bet on events that will be decided in the future.
  • Prop Bets: A prop bet is short for a proposition. This wager is not tied directly to a game’s final score or outcome.
