North Carolina appears likely to join the more than 30 other states that have legalized commercial sports betting after the state Senate approved legislation that seeks to allow online wagering and in-person betting at professional sports venues.
North Carolina sports betting online wagering
The local NBC affiliate in Raleigh reports on the North Carolina Senate approving a sports betting bill. North Carolina is currently home to only tribal sports betting, but legislation seeking to allow online wagering and betting at pro sports venues is expected to reach Gov. Roy Cooper’s (D) desk soon.
North Carolina is already home to legal sports betting, though such gambling is limited to the state’s three brick-and-mortar tribal casinos.
North Carolina doesn’t have any commercial casinos, but state lawmakers want to keep the sports betting revenue that is flowing into neighboring states where online wagering is permitted inside the Tar Heel State. Legal online sportsbooks operate in Tennessee and Virginia, two of North Carolina’s border states.
House Bill 347 seeks to allow as many as 12 online sportsbook licenses in North Carolina.
