The short answer
Kokomo's paid Real Money Matches are not currently available to players in Louisiana. Louisiana is one of the US states where skill-based gaming with prizes is restricted, so it's on Kokomo's excluded list. You can still read how the format works below — and rules can change, so it's worth checking Kokomo's terms for the current list.
Paid competitions are not available to residents of, or people located in, Louisiana. Availability is set by Kokomo's terms and can change as state rules evolve.
How skill competition differs from gambling is the same everywhere, so it lives once on the state-by-state guide rather than being repeated on all 51 state pages. What follows is specific to Louisiana.
