I'm drawing a blank, what is Louisiana's third major professional sports franchise? Saints, Pels,.....? Nola Gold?

Curious, is it just daily fantasy we can bet on at this time, or can we place future bets and what not?

This is just DFS. Sports betting is still a ways off IMO

DraftKings will just be for DFS purposes, but they do have their own sportsbook on their website.

I'm interested in seeing if they'll allow that since it'll technically be through DK

So what’s DFS compared to others? I know it’s daily..

But is this strictly like placing bets the Day of events? And nothing else

It's fantasy sports. You make a lineup of players in a particular sport and compete against others for money.

No they will not. they have not set all the rules for sports betting yet. Once that is tho it should just be approval of license which is the same employees. Right now will only be DFS.

quote:

DraftKings officials said the company would be operating as soon as possible in Louisiana, hoping at the time to go live through its website and app as early as Thursday night. The board approved the company’s request for an operator’s license in a unanimous vote.

Updated the thread title. Still can't access DK contests, so hopefully they get it going soon.
