At Louisiana Betting Hub, we aim to provide accurate, reliable, and easy-to-understand information about betting in the state. We want all our readers to feel confident when placing wagers, knowing that they’re using safe, secure, and fully regulated platforms, while also knowing exactly what to expect from that site when signing up.
All our content follows the strict rules and regulations set by the Louisiana Gaming Control Board, the state’s primary regulator. From time to time, we do partner with affiliates; however, our reviews are guides that always put bettors first.
Additionally, we’re also committed to promoting responsible gaming practices, helping to ensure that betting in Louisiana remains safe and enjoyable for everyone.
Our Core Editorial Values
Accuracy
Accuracy is at the heart of everything that we do, and to help us achieve this, we only collect information from primary sources such as regulators, operator sites, and official T&Cs. This way, we can make sure that our content is correct and trustworthy.
Additionally, we also review and update our content as soon as any changes to sportsbooks, bonuses, or regulations become available, so readers always have access to the latest information.
Editorial Independence
Our editorial team has full control over all content decisions, and our commercial partners and affiliates have no say over the ratings, reviews, or opinions we publish.
To maintain full transparency, all affiliate relationships are clearly presented within each piece of content.
Regulatory Standards
Everything we publish follows the rules and regulations set by the Louisiana Gaming Control Board, ensuring bettors have access to accurate, state-specific information. This includes clearly reflecting Louisiana’s restrictions on certain wager types, mainly the ban on betting on individual college athletes.
Transparency
We disclose all commercial partnerships whenever they apply. If we make any corrections or updates to our content, we include a visible timestamp so readers can see what’s been changed and when.
Additionally, so you know who’s behind the content you’re reading, you can find information about the author at the bottom of each and every page.
Responsible Gaming
Responsible gaming is something that we take very seriously, and this is why we prominently feature support resources for anyone who is looking to get help for their gambling habits. At Louisiana Betting Hub, you have our word that we’ll always promote betting as entertainment, and not as an income source.
Expert Content
All our team members have extensive experience in the gambling industry. They understand Louisiana gambling regulations and how the local market works, and this is why they can offer content that’s genuinely helpful, informative, and based on facts.
Content Creation Standards for Louisiana Betting
Research & Verification Process
All our information is collected from primary sources, including LGCB notices, operator sites, official terms and conditions, and regulatory filings. Our writers are required to test each platform first-hand, so they can get a real-world experience of each site. This includes signing up, making deposits, placing bets, and requesting withdrawals.
To further ensure accuracy, we cross-check claims against two other sources before publishing. If there are any changes in a sportsbook or new rules introduced by the commission, we aim to update them within 24 to 72 hours.
Finally, we also verify each and every platform against LGCB official documents and remind readers about state-specific restrictions or geolocation requirements, so readers always know what applies to them.
Author Expertise Requirements
All of our writers and editors have a minimum of two years’ experience in the U.S. sports betting or gaming industry. This includes a deep understanding of the Louisiana regulatory framework and its specific rules and requirements.
To get a real user experience of each platform, our team has active accounts with licensed operators so they can test every aspect of the platform in real conditions. You can find information about the author behind a guide at the bottom of every page.
Fact-Checking Process
Here is our rigorous fact-checking protocol to ensure that our content is accurate, relevant, reliable, and genuinely helpful for all our readers:
- Primary Sources: All our writers source information directly from primary sources, including regulator and operator documents.
- Editorial Review: Editors then verify the sources used, check for consistency, and ensure content follows E-E-A-T principles
- Compliance Review: Before publishing, content is checked once more against LGCB rules, marketing guidelines, and disclosure requirements.
Louisiana Regulatory Compliance
The Louisiana Gaming Control Board is the authority responsible for overseeing the state’s gambling industry. Its role is to ensure operators follow established guidelines and that players are properly protected. As the body with the final authority on how gambling should operate in Louisiana, our team regularly monitors the board for any regulatory updates, enforcement actions, or changes to the rules.
To avoid spreading outdated information, we aim to update our content within 24 to 72 hours if there are any regulatory changes. We also remind readers that there are state-specific restrictions to be aware of, such as the prohibition on wagering on in-state college teams unless they are participating in a tournament, and the prohibition on wagering on individual college athlete performance.
If we interpret any rules from the regulation, we’ll clearly state that it represents an editorial interpretation. We’ll also support it with citations to the LGCB.
Independence & Objectivity Standards
Separation of Editorial and Commercial Functions
To maintain integrity over our content, there is a strict firewall between the editorial team and any business or affiliate partnerships. This means that our commercial partnerships have no say over what we write, and cannot preview, edit, or approve content before we publish it.
Our editor-in-chief has the final authority over every piece of content we post. If affiliate partnerships are present, we’ll always disclose this in the relevant sections.
Review Integrity Framework
Part of what sets our reviews apart is that we don’t simply focus on the positives of a site, but shed light on where it falls short. This way, bettors can quickly know if a particular platform is right for their betting needs.
Our team follows a consistent methodology to ensure that operators are being checked and rated fairly. Any sportsbook can be reviewed on our site, as long as it’s licensed by the LGCB.
Where possible, our team tests these platforms anonymously and without prior coordination with the site. This way, we can experience each platform in the same way our readers do.
Corrections & Updates Policy
If you notice any errors in our content, we highly encourage you to reach out to us either via the contact form in the ‘Contact Us’ section or via email. We aim to verify any errors within 24 hours and update your platform with the relevant information within two days.
As part of our commitment to transparency, all corrections are clearly marked with a visible timestamp so readers can see what’s been updated and when. Additionally, at the bottom of the page, you’ll find when our review was published and when it was last updated.
We’d like to remind you that any changes made by the LGCB trigger an immediate content review to ensure it remains reliable and accurate.
Content Types & Transparency
Here at Louisiana Betting Hub, we publish a range of content, including news articles, guides, reviews, analysis, and promotional listings. To provide clear context and avoid confusion, each piece of content is clearly labelled so readers know exactly what they’re reading.
Most promotions in the gambling world are time-sensitive, and so we always mark expiration dates clearly. Additionally, we’ll disclose any commercial relationships with the site, if any, and link directly to the operator’s official terms and conditions so you can access the information at the source.
Finally, we’ll always showcase the minimum age of 21+ and remind readers that betting is only permitted within Louisiana. All our content is written with these requirements in mind.
Responsible Gambling Integration
Responsible Gaming practices are at the core of everything that we do, from content creation to publication. This way, we can ensure bettors always have access to all the resources they need, especially if they’re seeking additional support with their gambling habits.
Additionally, we prominently display Louisiana’s state gambling helpline across the site and provide clear links to the state’s self-exclusion program. We also reference national support resources, such as 1-800-GAMBLER (426-2537) and the National Council on Problem Gambling (1-800-522-4700).
In our sportsbook guides, we always include a section on how the platform handles responsible gaming. This includes evaluating its available responsible gaming tools, such as deposit limits, time-outs, and self-exclusions.
Finally, we also provide educational content for anyone looking to learn more about responsible betting. This includes how to play within limits, problematic gambling behaviour signs to keep an eye out for, and reminders on treating betting as a form of entertainment.
Continuous Improvement Process
Once we publish a guide, we don’t just set it and forget it. To make sure that our content remains relevant and accurate, we carry out an ongoing review process:
- Every month, we review our time-sensitive pages to ensure that all offers, bonuses, and any other important information are current.
- On a quarterly basis, we employ a full market audit where we compare reviews with live operator experiences to ensure they still reflect what users can expect.
- Annually, we conduct a compliance review to confirm that all content aligns with the rules set out by the LGCB.
Additionally, we also monitor the LGCB’s updates regularly and incorporate any regulatory changes into our content within 7 days. We also collect user feedback via emails, surveys, and a contact form, working to improve our services and fix any errors that were spotted.
Our team is regularly briefed on regulatory developments to make sure everyone stays informed.
Our Commitment to Louisiana Bettors
Our commitment to transparency, accuracy, and independence is what sets us apart in the world of gambling content. Every guide we publish follows a clear and structured process so that you get access to information that’s genuinely helpful and relevant, and there to improve your betting experience.
Protecting our readers is always a top priority, alongside responsible gaming practices. We’ll always promote gambling as a form of entertainment and never as a source of income.
If you have any suggestions on how we can improve our services, or any questions about how we do things, we encourage you to reach out to us via our contact form or email.
