Louisiana's HB 883 and HB 53 banned sweepstakes casinos and added racketeering exposure in 2026. A few sites still operate under different legal structures — collectible card-game, parimutuel horse-racing, and skill-based arcade formats. The list below pulls live from the SweepsGuard database. None is a regulator-approved casino.

No. The Louisiana restrictions target operators, payment processors, and affiliates — not individual players. There is no provision penalizing someone for having played, and no enforcement against players.
A few sites operate under different legal structures that fall outside the sweepstakes bans — collectible card-game, parimutuel horse-racing, and skill-based arcade formats. Each carries an independent SweepsGuard grade. None is a regulator-approved casino.
