September was a record month for mobile sports betting in Louisiana

Mobile sports betting in Louisiana set a revenue record in September, translating into $4.7 million in taxes for the state.

Wagers for the state’s nine mobile operators were up 44.4% in September over the prior year for a total of $248.8 million, or roughly $110 million more than August. 

“This is the highest monthly total generated by mobile sports wagering since inception” in February 2022, Donna Jackson, a supervisor with the Louisiana State Police’s gaming audit section, told the Louisiana Gaming Control Board last week.

Parlays accounted for $19.8 million of the revenue total, followed by $7.3 million for football, $6.5 million for baseball, $252,480 for soccer, $118,218 for basketball, and $2.3 million in other categories. 

“I think it shows you what football, college and the NFL mean to sports betting,” board chair Ronnie Johns said of the “incredible numbers.”
