JULIE O'DONOGHUE, Louisiana Illuminator; In Louisiana, casinos can’t make political donations, but sportsbooks can, ethics board says
"Louisiana prohibits casino companies and executives from making state political contributions, but that same ban doesn’t apply to sports gambling operations, according to the Louisiana Board of Ethics.
A sport betting company and its senior management can still make political donations, even if the business is a subsidiary of a larger gambling enterprise prohibited from doing so.
The ethics board issued an advisory opinion last week to American Wagering Inc., saying the company, as well as its officers and directors, can legally give to political candidates. The activity is allowed even though the business, which goes by the name Caesars Sportsbook Louisiana, is owned by the gambling conglomerate, Caesars Entertainment Inc."
