The Louisiana Department of Revenue has sued online sweepstakes casino operators VGW and MW Services, which does business as WOW Vegas, seeking a total of $44.4 million in taxes, interest, and unpaid penalties for offering digital gaming in the Pelican State.
Daniel Wallach was the first to report on the lawsuit on his X account.
Online casino gaming is illegal in Louisiana per a written opinion in July from state Attorney General Liz Murrill. She provided the opinion in response to a lawmaker query after Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry vetoed SB 181, which banned online sweepstakes casinos and had unanimous support in both houses of legislature.
