Can I offer contests that involve international sports in Louisiana? What are the requirements?

Offering Contests Involving International Sports in Louisiana

Based on the documents provided, it is unclear whether fantasy sports contests in Louisiana can involve international sports. None of the documents specifically mention international sports, and it is possible that additional regulations or laws may apply.

However, [1.2] outlines the licensing requirements for fantasy sports contest operators in Louisiana. Before obtaining a license to offer fantasy sports contests in Louisiana, a fantasy sports contest operator must demonstrate to the board that the operator is suitable for licensing pursuant to R.S. 27:28 and provide the board with financial statements indicating any gross fantasy sports contest revenue for the previous three years.

Additionally, [3.1] and [4.1] provide information on sports wagering platform providers and sports wagering distributors, respectively. These documents do not mention international sports either, but they may be relevant to operators who offer sports wagering services in Louisiana.

Advertising and Mandatory Signage

Licensees must comply with advertising and mandatory signage requirements outlined in [2.2]. Advertisements and marketing material must not target prohibited players, persons under the age of twenty-one, or self-restricted persons. Licensees must also provide a toll-free telephone number available for information and referral services regarding compulsive or problem gambling as required in R.S. 27:27.3.

In summary, it is unclear whether fantasy sports contests in Louisiana can involve international sports. Additional research or consultation with a legal expert may be necessary to determine the requirements for offering such contests. However, operators must comply with licensing requirements and advertising and mandatory signage requirements outlined in relevant documents.
