FanDuel Sportsbook Louisiana Review

FanDuel is the most widely used sportsbook in Louisiana and consistently leads the state in handle and revenue. The operator partnered with Boyd Gaming to enter the Louisiana market on day one (January 28, 2022) and now operates across all five Boyd casino properties. Its app; rated 4.8 stars in both major app stores; is widely considered the cleanest and most reliable in the state, and the same-game parlay builder remains a category benchmark.

How FanDuel's Welcome Bonus Works

The current FanDuel Louisiana welcome offer gives new users up to $300 in bonus bets, distributed as daily no-sweat bets over your first 10 days. If your first bet of the day on each of those 10 days loses, you receive a bonus bet equal to the stake (up to $30 per day). Bonus bets expire 7 days after issue and stakes are not returned on winning bets. Available only to first-time depositors aged 21+ physically located in one of the 55 approved Louisiana parishes.
