Fanatics Sportsbook has launched in Louisiana in partnership with Boomtown Casino & Hotel.
The Fanatics sports betting app is available on both iOS and Android.
Louisiana is the 22nd state where Fanatics is currently accepting mobile and online sports bets. Among the perks touted by Fanatics are one of the fastest registrations in the industry, up to 10% in FanCash back on any bet, and the ability to stream football, hockey, and tennis events while using the app.
The launch is well-timed in the weeks before college football and NFL seasons begin.
