Louisiana gambling legislation

2026 Regular Session ended Jun 1, 2026 · Bill data as of Oct 11, 2026 from Open States · Louisiana overview

AI outlook · Oct 11, 2026

Louisiana's 2026 regular session ended June 1, and all of the tracked gambling bills have been signed, become law without signature or adopted as resolutions. They cover illegal online gambling enforcement, racketeering penalties for gambling crimes, charitable gaming, promotional play, sports wagering exclusions and gaming background checks. SB354, which would have banned micro-bets and proposition bets, died.

What to watch: Most laws take effect July 1 or August 1, 2026, so the Gaming Control Board and State Police rulemaking and enforcement are what to watch. The next regular session begins in 2027, where proposition bet limits and prediction market enforcement could return.
