DraftKings NC To Host Launch Event Monday At NASCAR Hall Of Fame

The launch of North Carolina online sports betting is only four days away. One of the state’s major operators, DraftKings NC, has announced an event to commemorate the industry opening its virtual doors.

DraftKings NC will host its event at the NASCAR Hall of Fame on Monday, March 11 (the designated launch day). Among the special guests will be former Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen, who will place the ceremonial first bet once North Carolina online sports betting goes live.

More on Monday’s event

NASCAR, which is headquartered in the Tar Heel State, is the designated partner of DraftKings NC. The two entered into an agreement in late-2023, one required by all operators prior to going live on launch day.

The event was announced in a press release from the operator’s Boston headquarters. Matt Kalish, the President of DraftKings North America, said:

“With the NCAA Tournament right around the corner and the NASCAR season in full throttle, we are thrilled to be launching our top-rated sportsbook app in North Carolina. The Tar Heel State is home to a passionate fanbase and some of the most iconic college basketball programs of all time, making this an exciting time to introduce legalized online sports betting. We’re proud to be working alongside NASCAR as our market access partner and look forward to enhancing the fan experience across North Carolina with a fun, safe and seamless sports betting product.”

In addition to launching ahead of NCAA basketball tournament betting, NC online sportsbooks will be live in time for the ACC tournament. That tips off Tuesday and features popular programs such as Duke, North Carolina, and NC State.

Enjoy DraftKings NC’s pre-launch promo
