re: Mobile Sports Betting in LA starts Friday!

Would it be smart to play 3 of those betting sites all this weekend and get the free sign up money?

My question isn't how many times do I have to bet WINNINGS for it to become withdrawable.

My question is if I deposit $3,000 and get the $3,000 match and lose my first $3,000 in bets, will my original $3,000 be withdrawable. Essentially only losing free money and none of my own. Or will I have to bet my money 1 time as well to make it withdrawable.

So please tell me about geofencing.... what to do if you live in these parishes??

===================================

WHICH PARISHES VOTED DOWN LEGAL LOUISIANA SPORTS BETTING?
In total, voters in nine parishes effectively “opted out” of gambling expansion. In most of them, the ballot measure saw a narrow defeat. Following are the nine parishes and the certified tally in alphabetical order.

Caldwell – No 2,284 (52.11%) to Yes 2,099 (47.89%)
Catahoula – No 2,281 (52.03%) to Yes 2,103 (47.97%)

Mobile Betting Restrictions
Setting the framework for mobile betting was an even lengthier process than usual. This is because Louisiana residents approved the measure in all but nine parishes.

As a result, gaming regulators had to ensure that geofencing technology excluded these areas. Lawmakers also had extra work on their plates as these parishes will also be excluded from tax benefits from betting.

For those living in Louisiana’s 55 approved parishes, betting will be as easy as checking your texts. Aside from the freedom to bet anywhere, mobile betting enables players to wager on the action as it happens.

Assuming you are doing this with the sign up bonus? Some might not instantly throw your winnings into your account. You also don’t get the money you wagered back, just the profit

I can't imagine they would just let people have $3,000 worth of free betting like that only to be able to escape scot-free if it all goes south.

I agree. But I read a few people who seemed to be saying that that’s how it worked when Caesar’s did the same deal in New York.

The $3000 first deposit bonus seems like free money to bet with... I read the terms and conditions and all you have to do is get the entire $3000 bonus to unlock withdrawals. I'm not sure what the catch is.

Probably the fact that you don’t win 12k
