Louisiana’s long-awaited mobile sports gambling option goes online at 8 a.m. Friday, Gaming Control Board Chairman Ronnie Johns confirmed to USA Today Network.
“It’s going to be huge,” Johns said Wednesday. “I can’t tell you have many people ask me about this every day.”
Among the first expected to offer online sports gambling through their apps are FanDuel, DraftKings, Caesars, BetFred and BetMGM, though Johns said he couldn’t confirm who plans to be up Friday.
“Our goal was to have it available before the Super Bowl, so we were able to beat that target,” Johns said. “It will be ready for this weekend’s NFL conference championship games.”
