MediaTroopers, the successful digital marketing agency, has announced that the company will be going live in Louisiana with the launch of mobile sports betting within the state. With decades of combined knowledge and experience in the sports betting and online gambling industries, MediaTroopers can now offer this expertise and high-quality services to state-authorized betting venues and operators, helping them to reach millions of potential customers.

The wait is finally over for mobile sports bettors and online gamblers in the Pelican State! The Louisiana Gaming Control Board announced that certain state-licensed betting sites and mobile apps can start accepting bets from the 28th of January 2022. Home to over 4.6 million residents and several professional sports teams, including the New Orleans Saints, New Orleans Breakers, and the New Orleans Pelicans, the state is sure to become a thriving sports betting market.

MediaTroopers has long-lasting collaborations across the US with some of the nation’s leading sports betting sites. The company can now promote its partners in Louisiana and offer top-quality marketing and content to brand new audiences.
MediaTroopers will be going live in Louisiana with four popular sportsbooks; DraftKings, FanDuel, Caesars, and BetMGM. However, additional sports betting sites are expected to launch in the state in the following weeks.

Sam Segal, MediaTroopers CEO, stated, “Here at MediaTroopers, we are incredibly excited to have been given this amazing opportunity to provide our high-quality services and expertise to the legalized betting market in Lousiana. We are already operational in several states where online gambling is legal and regulated, including Louisiana’s neighboring state Mississippi.”

“Also, after our incredibly successful launch in New York earlier this month, we are looking forward to working in the state of Louisiana and bringing its residents more excitement with safe and responsible mobile betting.” Segal continued. “Adding Louisiana to our extensive portfolio is an inspiring achievement, therefore allowing us to reach new audiences in the south of the US.”

MediaTroopers has an excellent track record in the states where sports betting and online gambling are legal and regulated. As such, the pioneering marketing agency is one of the leading independent publishers of sporting competitions and events, game predictions, top sportsbooks, and betting bonuses in the US legal gambling markets.
With the addition of Louisiana, MediaTroopers is now operational and in more than 15 states, including Arizona, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Michigan, West Virginia, Virginia, Iowa, Mississippi, and more.

Segal added, “Our launch in Louisiana, along with four of the industry’s leading sportsbooks, could not have come at a better time. With the Super Bowl right around the corner and the NFL playoffs happening right as we speak, we are confident that this launch in Louisiana will be incredibly successful.”

Four in Five U.S. Voters Say Sports Events Contracts Should Be Regulated Like Other Online Sportsbooks

Four in Five U.S. Voters Say Sports Events Contracts Should Be Regulated Like Other Online Sportsbooks

 

The American Gaming Association (AGA) released new research showing strong sentiment that sports events contracts offered through prediction markets—online platforms where users wager on the outcomes of future events—should be regulated in the same way as other forms of legal, state-regulated sports betting. The study also shows that the public overwhelmingly view them as a form of gambling that requires oversight.

Key Findings:

  • Americans overwhelmingly recognize sports events contracts as gambling, not financial instruments. 85% say sports events contracts are most like gambling, while only 6% believe they are most like a financial instrument.
  • Most Americans want sports events contracts regulated like other forms of sports betting. 80% say that sports event contracts should be regulated like other online sports betting and 65% believe these bets should be overseen by state and tribal gaming regulators, not the federal Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
  • Adults agree that sports events contracts should only be offered by state-licensed sportsbooks. 84% of Americans, and 69% of sports bettors, say that sports events contracts should only be available in state-licensed sportsbooks in the states where they are offered. 69% of Americans believe each state should have a say on whether sports events contracts can be offered in their state.
  • Americans recognize prediction platforms offering sports event contracts are skirting the law. 70% say prediction platforms offering sports event contracts are exploiting loopholes to act as unlicensed sportsbooks.

“This research has made it clear: Americans know a sports bet when they see one—and they expect prediction markets offering sports event contracts to be held to the same rules and consumer safeguards as every other state-regulated sportsbook,” said AGA President and CEO Bill Miller. “This underscores the need for the CFTC to enforce and uphold its own regulations that prohibit gaming contracts, and for Congress to use its oversight power to ensure prediction markets are not used as a backdoor for gaming.”

With sports betting currently operational in 38 states and Washington, D.C., AGA’s research emphasizes the need for consistent oversight of emerging gaming products to maintain consumer trust and uphold responsible gaming standards.

Methodology
YouGov, on behalf of the AGA, conducted an online survey from August 1-8, among a nationally representative sample of 2,025 registered voters. The margin of error is +/- 2 percent and greater among subgroups.
