A decade ago, some of the biggest online poker sites flocked here to set up shop.

Gambling laws were lax, the location was remote and the semi-air of British authority gave the poker sites a feel of legitimacy.

G911 World Exclusive: Sponsor of Louisiana Fantasy Sports Bill Predicts Easy Passage

BATON ROUGE, La. -- The State of Louisiana has always been an "anything goes" sort of place, what with its liberal drinking laws, myriad casinos and 24/7 Mardi Gras atmosphere.

But, strangely, one of the things that doesn't "go" in the Bayou State is wagering on fantasy sports.

Although Federal law legalizes fantasy sports wagering nationwide and deems it not a form of gambling but a contest of skill, individual states still have the final say on whether they think it's gambling and whether they want to allow it within their state borders.
