Louisiana Online Gambling

Surprisingly Louisiana state law is very clear in stipulating that online gambling is prohibited and consequently those that break the law could face stiff penalties including goal time. The law prescribes the term of &#;violators&#; for those who break the law. To this day, there has been no precedence of any player being caught by the law and/or law enforcement agencies following through with imposing fines and court action. If anything, the laws in Louisiana are a hard line against casino operators rather than the player.

If you were to play online casinos in Louisiana, there is very little risk of any repercussions.

Louisiana ranks as the 27th in the US for playing at offshore online casinos. Wagering an estimated $ million per year, it ranks just above Tennessee and behind Alabama.

The state with the largest wagering for offshore online casino is California at $ million.

Overview of Louisiana Casinos

The casino scene can be divided into: Riverboat, Tribal and Land based.

The state allows for a maximum of 15 riverboat casinos. The riverboat casinos must be moored at all times, i.e. permanently fixed to port. There is one land based casino, and four native American casinos which are race tracks with slots.

The minimum age is 21 for playing at a casino.
