Nuvei approved as sports operators provider in Louisiana

The payment technology firm has been granted permission to provide payment processing services to daily fantasy sports and sports wagering operators.

US.- The payment technology firm Nuvei has announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary has been approved to provide payment processing services to daily fantasy sports and sports wagering operators in Louisiana. Approved by the Louisiana Gaming Control Board, the firm can now support online sports betting in the state.

On October 31, the Louisiana Gaming Control Board issued its first four sports betting licences in Louisiana. Harrah’s in New Orleans, Boomtown Casino in Harvey, L’Auberge Baton Rouge and Horseshoe Casino in Bossier City received their licences to start handling sports wagering.

While online sports betting is anticipated to go live by January 1, 2022, consumers currently have access to pre-launch offers from online sportsbooks.

Last week, Nuvei was granted an event wagering and fantasy sports supplier licence in Arizona, approved by the Arizona Department of Gaming.
