lgcb.dps.louisiana.gov ↗ · 2026-09-24The Louisiana Gaming Control Board publishes this as 'a list of all licensed wagering platforms in Louisiana', under the heading Sportsbooks, giving each platform's licensed legal entity, d/b/a and licence number. Brands are recorded exactly as the LGCB spells them. The page carries no as-of date and does not name the casino partner each platform operates under; the Louisiana State Police Gaming Enforcement Division's monthly 'Sportsbook - Mobile' revenue reports are statewide aggregates with no per-operator split, so no partner mapping is published anywhere by the regulator. Fantasy sports licensees listed on the same page (DraftKings, FanDuel) are excluded. The LGCB still lists ESPN Bet and Twin Spires as licensed platforms; this record reflects the licence list, not observed market activity.
