What North Carolina Online Sportsbooks Will Be Available?

Sports betting is expected to launch in North Carolina in early 2024. While the launch was originally expected to happen on January 8, 2024, there may now be a delay. According to WSOC-TV, in Charlotte the deadline for launch is June 15, 2024.

Here at Winners and Whiners we have guides that will keep you in the know with North Carolina online sports betting, and which sportsbooks will be live in North Carolina on launch day.

Legalization Progress of Online Sports Betting in NC

While online sports betting is not yet legal in North Carolina, it’s on the horizon! The eagerly awaited launch is slated for early 2024, thanks to the passage of HB 347 in June 2023. This bill marks the second attempt to legalize online sports betting in the state, following the unsuccessful SB 688 in 2022.

The NC sports betting scene is expected to be active with several licensed operators. The key names expected to be involved in the launch include:

Each of these outlets will likely offer plenty of NC online sports betting promos once they go live. Make sure you shop around to find the best bonuses and betting environments after the industry launches.

Until online sportsbooks go live, your options are limited to the retail casinos across the state:

  • Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort (Cherokee)
  • Harrah’s Cherokee Valley River (Murphy)
