DraftKings Mobile Sportsbook Going Live in Louisiana Tomorrow

Last Updated: 
DraftKings is one of the biggest brands in the US online sports betting market. It’s also one of the few online sportsbooks that are already licensed in the Bayou State. DraftKings LA Sportsbook is now finally ready to go live tomorrow, despite Louisiana sports betting being legal since June 2021. You can find out more about the DraftKings launch tomorrow.
Why Hasn’t DraftKings Launched in Louisiana Earlier?
Passed and signed by Gov. John Bel Edwards last June, Senate Bill 247 legalized online sports betting in Louisiana. House Bill 697 provided the framework for the market’s taxes and licensing procedures.
Retail sportsbooks have already gone live in the Pelican State. Caesars LA Sportsbook, for example, was operating inside of Harrah’s New Orleans. However, top LA online betting sites, are now ready to launch.
DraftKings, Caesars, BetMGM Louisiana and other licensed LA online sportsbooks were stuck in the waiting game. Two key factors were holding up their launch dates:
- The Louisiana Gaming Control Board (LGCB) was taking too long in accepting applications and putting the final touches on market rules.
- The LA State Police were performing long background checks on key personnel involved with prospective Louisiana sportsbooks.
Online operators within the sports betting Louisiana market were hoping for clearance in early 2022, and their wish has been granted. According to LGCB Chairman Ronnie Johns, though, online sports betting is coming to Louisiana on January 28th.
You can Sign Up at DraftKings Sportsbook Now
DraftKings is set to go live in the Bayou State on Friday, but it’s already accepting pre-registrations. You can sign up DraftKings right now from anywhere. You only need to be within state boundaries when depositing and placing bets. Of course, deposits and wagers aren’t possible until this online sportsbook officially becomes available.
Regarding the signup process, you just need to fill out the registration form. The signup form requires simple details, such as your name, email, phone number, and address. You’ll also need to enter the last four digits of your social security number for identification purposes.
Like other LA betting apps, DraftKings will use geolocation to pinpoint your spot when depositing and betting. You’ll be fine provided you’re within one of the 55 (out of 64) parishes that allow Louisiana sportsbooks.
What to Expect from DraftKings Sportsbook Tomorrow
DraftKings is a premier online sportsbook in many states. It’ll almost assuredly be one of the top LA betting sites when it launches tomorrow.
This operator offers many markets and accepts bets on everything from table tennis to badminton. It’s currently experiencing a flurry of betting action with the upcoming 2022 Super Bowl. It is also receiving lots of wagers on NBA and NHL games right now.
The DraftKings welcome promo is one of the biggest sportsbook bonuses in the US. This betting site matches your first deposit by 20% up to $1,000. Therefore, you can get up to $1k in bonus money on top of $100 in free bets for LA pre-registration.
Online sports betting in Louisiana should kick off with a strong start. If you’re interested in using one of the (likely) top LA betting sites, then you can sign up at DraftKings now.
