This privacy policy explains what data we collect when you visit our site, how we use it, and the choices you have. We publish independent information about Louisiana gambling law for adults 21 and older. We are not a casino or sportsbook, and we do not take bets or process gambling deposits.
The short version
We collect basic analytics and any details you choose to send us. We use cookies for traffic measurement and, where applicable, affiliate tracking. We do not sell your personal information for money. If you live in California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, or Utah, you have specific rights to access, delete, and opt out, described below. You must be 21+ to gamble in Louisiana.
What data we collect
We keep data collection to a minimum. Most visitors browse our Louisiana guides without giving us any personal details at all.
- Information you give us. If you email us or fill out a form, we receive your name, email address, and whatever you write.
- Automatically collected data. Standard web logs and analytics capture your IP address, browser type, device, pages viewed, referring site, and approximate location (for example, the New Orleans, Baton Rouge, or Shreveport area).
- Cookie and similar data. Small files stored in your browser help us measure traffic and remember preferences. See the cookies section below.
We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 21, the minimum legal gambling age in Louisiana. If you believe a minor has contacted us, email the address below and we will delete the record.
How we use your data
We use the data we collect for a limited set of purposes, all tied to running and improving this site.
- To deliver and maintain the website and its Louisiana content.
- To measure which guides are useful, such as our pages on whether online casinos are legal in Louisiana and casinos near Louisiana.
- To respond to your questions and requests.
- To detect abuse, fraud, and security issues.
- To comply with legal obligations.
Cookies and tracking
Cookies are small text files a site stores in your browser. We use them in two main ways.
| Cookie type | What it does | Can you turn it off? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Keeps the site working and secure. | No, the site needs these. |
| Analytics | Counts visits and measures popular pages. | Yes, via browser settings or our cookie controls. |
| Affiliate / referral | Notes when you click an outbound link so a partner can credit a referral. | Yes, by declining or clearing cookies. |
You can block or delete cookies in your browser at any time. Most browsers also honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, which we treat as a valid opt-out of sharing and targeted advertising where state law requires it. Turning off cookies may affect how some features work.
Third parties we share data with
We do not sell your personal information for money. We do share limited data with service providers that help us run the site, and with affiliate partners when you click a referral link.
- Analytics providers that report aggregate traffic.
- Hosting and security vendors that deliver and protect the site.
- Affiliate networks and operators when you choose to visit them through a tracked link.
About the operators we discuss
Real-money online casinos are not legal in Louisiana; SB 885 stalled in committee in 2026, and no state-regulated online casino exists (see legis.la.gov and the Louisiana Gaming Control Board). Dual-currency sweepstakes casinos let you redeem eligible Sweeps Coins for cash prizes only where permitted, which differs from licensed real-money gambling. The Louisiana Attorney General deemed that dual-currency model illegal gambling under La. R.S. 14:90 on July 2, 2025, and the LGCB sent 40-plus cease-and-desist letters in June 2025; numerous dual-currency sweepstakes operators have since exited the state in response. Pure social casinos using only Gold Coins with no cash redemption appear to be permitted, though that reflects legal commentary rather than an explicit state ruling. We never link a misleading "Play Now" call-to-action to an operator that is not available to Louisiana players.
US state privacy rights
Several states give residents specific rights over their personal data. We honor these rights for everyone who qualifies, regardless of where else they live.
California (CCPA/CPRA)
California residents may request to know what personal information we collect, request deletion or correction, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information for money. You also have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. You may use an authorized agent and the GPC signal to opt out.
Virginia (VCDPA)
Virginia residents may access, correct, and delete their personal data, obtain a portable copy, and opt out of targeted advertising, sale of data, and certain profiling. You may appeal a decision we make on your request.
Colorado (CPA)
Colorado residents have rights to access, correct, delete, and port their data, plus the right to opt out of targeted advertising, the sale of data, and profiling. Colorado recognizes universal opt-out signals such as GPC, which we honor.
Connecticut (CTDPA)
Connecticut residents may access, correct, delete, and port their personal data, and opt out of targeted advertising, sale, and profiling. As in Colorado, we honor recognized universal opt-out mechanisms.
Utah (UCPA)
Utah residents may access and delete their personal data, obtain a copy, and opt out of targeted advertising and the sale of personal data.
How to opt out and make a request
You can exercise any of the rights above in a few ways.
- Opt out of analytics and tracking: adjust your browser cookie settings or enable the Global Privacy Control signal.
- Access, delete, or correct your data: email us using the contact details below with your request and the state you live in.
- Authorized agents: you may have someone submit a request on your behalf, subject to verification.
We verify requests to protect your data, which may mean confirming details you have previously shared. We respond within the timeframe your state law requires, generally 45 days, and will tell you if we need an extension. There is no charge for a reasonable request.
Data retention and security
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purpose we collected it, or as the law requires, then delete or anonymize it. We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, though no internet transmission is fully secure.
