Louisiana made around $26.5 million in taxes from the first 12 months of legalized sports betting, according to data from the Louisiana Gaming Control Board, though the state has yet to see exactly how a full year of mobile betting will affect the state’s coffers.
Legal sports betting at retail locations launched in Louisiana in November 2021, and through October 2022, the casinos with sportsbooks have made more than $35.8 million in net revenue off of sports betting and paid $3.6 million in taxes. Mobile sports betting launched in January, and the mobile apps have made around $152.5 million and paid $22.8 million as of October 2022.
The state added another $40,000 in taxes from daily fantasy between July 2022 and October 2022.
