The upcoming NCAA basketball tournament will be the first since the launch of legalized North Carolina online sports betting. NCAA basketball tournament betting is one of the biggest events of the year in the industry, and it figures to give NC online sports betting a massive launch. In that vein, DraftKings NC is offering several NC sports betting promos for both new and existing customers.
One of them is classified as a “No Brainer,” and given some of the details, we’d have to agree. Bettors can double their NCAA basketball tournament betting investments if either Duke or North Carolina scores a point in their first-round games.
Wait…what?
You read that correctly. Once the Blue Devils or Tar Heels score a point, your DraftKings NC bet is a winner. Note that the maximum bet for this promotion varies, so be mindful of what you can wager and what you stand to win.
North Carolina is in action first. The No. 1 seed in the West Regional will face either Howard or Wagner on Thursday, March 21. Duke, meanwhile, earned the No. 4 seed in the South Regional. They’ll square off with James Madison on Friday, March 22.
North Carolina online sports betting enthusiasts can also expect a $100 No Sweat Same-Game Parlay. That’s in addition to the DraftKings NC sign-up bonus, where an initial deposit and $5 wager unlocks $250 in bonus bets.
More on DraftKings NC and North Carolina sports betting
DraftKings NC launched with North Carolina online sports betting on Monday, March 11. That came just a day before the ACC basketball tournament, which was won by the North Carolina State Wolfpack. They earned a No. 11 seed and will face Texas Tech on Thursday.
Retail sports betting has been legal in the Tar Heel State since 2021. However, the launch of NC online sports betting provides an opportunity for massive industry growth. That launch coming just before an annual NCAAB betting extravaganza should only help the state of the business.
