    We are live: mobile sportsbetting Louisiana started 8am today

    6 are live. of course there are like 19 that are at brick and mortar locations. but 6 mobile to start. there will be 41 mobile skins when its all said and done.

    today we got:

    draftkings
    fanduel
    betmgm
    caesars (will hill)
    barstool
    betrivers

    i will give some insight once i use them more but i so far ive had negative experiences with fanduel and draftkings (i've used draftkings in indiana and didnt like it there either). the dk app sucks and the cashout options for me are paypal and check and i cant use paypal. fanduel app is better but took forever to reach support.

    barstool has impressed me the most. great cs and app. decent sign up bonus however i dont use mychoice casinos

    caesars ive never used, betmgm ive used in in indiana and like it plus fast cashouts and good promos plus i visit mlife casinos the most...bet rivers ive used in indiana and i like the app plus i like the 250 deposit match.

    this is what i got so far for signing up

    dk: 100 (25x4) freeplays, 25 max bet pelicans score 1 point +100, bet 20 on nba same game parlay get $20, two risk free $25 same game nfl plays this weekend, 25 max +100 burrow 1 completion...trying to see if i can find one of those bet 5 get 280 or whatever but i may not be eligible since I did that in Indiana not sure

    FD: $100 site credit, risk free bet up to $1000, $10 risk free nfl same game parlay, $50 pelicans get 1 point +100
    bet 5 win 150 on any nfl money line, 1st basket fridays..need to bet $25 on first basket scorer and get $1 for every 3 point basket made between both teams

    mgm: $200 fps ($50x4), $25 risk free 1st td scorer, i didnt see anything else and also im not eligible for the 600 risk free bet unfortuantely

    caesars: $300 site credit and $3000 risk free bet, bet 20 get 300 new mobile offer (not sure if i can get this since i already got the 300 for signing up), bet 100 total during promo period get 150 nba store gift card (again not sure if this is only for ppl who haven't registered yet..i dont like nba anyways), $3 for every 3 pointer made by nba team bet on on saturday 1.29, $10 for every td my team scores on 1/30,

    barstool: $1000 risk free, bet 20 on nfl on 1.30 and get $100 if burrow throws 1 yard, bet a $10 5 team parlay using nfl on 1.30 and get $50 uber eats voucher, $10 bonus for signing up, $5 bonus for updating favorites in settings, also $10 mycash for downloading mychoice app

    betrivers: $250 deposit match, thats it?

    Is DK not doing the $1,000 match for deposits of $5,000 in Louisiana?

    I couldnt get any deposit matching or new player offers because they said i opened a fantasy account in 2015 even tho i never used it because fantasy was not legal in LA...funny thing is i got to use all the new player offers in 2019 in Indiana so idk...the app sucks and my only wd methods are check and paypal for some reason and i cant use paypal...too many other options..even fanduel is way better plus they gave my risk free bet after i lost as soon as the game was over.

    Woj, whore the bonuses and build yourself a bit of a bankroll. Try to make a cashout this time.

    The tax situation could scare away bigger bettors eventually

    I lost at most already. NHL been killing me. Play the dog they get blown out. Parlay 2 favs and one loses. Live nba too. Every time i take the points live in a close game at the end of the 3rd qtr the other team draws off in the 4th.

    Ice cold right now. I need to stick to nfl and soccer.

    Doesn’t matter how much you bet. Biden is bringing on so many “irs watchdogs” just pay your taxes. Because the half dollar to ten dime players that don’t? Will all be up shit creek with no oars

    SBR should try to organize a lobby group to argue for abolishment of taxes on sports betting income.

    Canada has it right. No reason there should be taxes on gambling winnings- unless it's like lotto or something.

    I mean, of course I'm interested, and I'd throw my hat in the ring for support. But what is the justification for this? The U.S. pretty much taxes all forms of income. I know that some countries don't tax gambling winnings. What argument has been made there?

    I'm sure that one of the reasons these states have been so eager to legalize sports betting is for the tax revenue, so I expect it will be tough sledding.

    Idk anything about new york but their cs sucks. They dont answer emails and the 3k match promo disappeared after the first day before I could even deposit anything. So far fanduel has had the best promos by far, all kinds of deposit promos even after the initial ones, great odds boosts with 50 max bet unlike 25 at dk. All of their cs sucks although i got a quick response on twitter msg from dk support. I haven't dealt with cs at mgm or rivers yet.

    PA dried up with promos all goes away unless you lose a lot of money
