date for betting in LA

I think I’ve read I wouldn’t expect it until football season 2021 at the earliest

Also not sure if I need to clarify or not, but the amendment was not to legalize sports gambling

Proposed law provides that if a majority of the qualified electors in the parish voting on the proposition vote "for" the proposition, then sports wagering activities and operations will be permitted in such parish only after state laws providing for the licensing, regulation, and taxation of such activities and operations are enacted and become effective.

Proposed law provides that if a majority of the qualified electors in the parish voting on the proposition vote "against" the proposition, then sports wagering activities and operations will not be permitted in the parish. Proposed law provides that in the event of the legalization of sports wagering, the Louisiana Gaming Control Board shall have all regulatory authority, control and jurisdiction, including investigation, licensing, and enforcement and all power incidental or necessary to such regulatory authority, control, and jurisdiction over all aspects of sports wagering activities and operations.

Defines "sports wagering" as the business of accepting wagers on any sports event or sports contest by any system or method of wagering.

The only sports wagering that has been approved in LA govt is the daily fantasy bill that passed completely in May of this year

All other forms of sports gambling would still need to get approved/voted on/ regulated

But there's still a legal process before sports betting is allowed on the casino floor.

"It'll go in the legislative session starting in April. Once it's made into law, then rules have to be made by the Louisiana Gaming Control Board, which controls us," Ginn said.

The legislature passed the bill earlier this year sending sports betting to the ballot. Fifty-five out of 64 parishes in Louisiana voted to legalize it.

Lieutenant Colonel Mike Noel with the Louisiana Gaming Control Board says he predicts that people will be able to start sports betting no sooner than 2022.

"It's just the way the process works. The legislature has to lay out the framework, and then the rule-making process is a four-to-six-month process. Once that happens, the entities that want to participate will have to apply and get licensed," Noel said.

As usual you’re wrong. Shut the frick up. This is for regular sports gambling. You seem like a good dude. I have to ask, how are you so consistently a fricking moron?

The LA legislature will have to put in legalization and taxation bills for sports wagering in the 2021 session.

If both pass in the LA House and Senate, then sports wagering could happen by the end of 2021 or early 2022.

If either fail, sports wagering will have until 2023. Which means the taxation bill can only be passed in odd years or special sessions, like we just had for covid. So that would mean 2023 or a "special session" in either 2021 or 2022.
