Is Sports Betting Legal in North Carolina?

If we had to bet, North Carolina will make sports betting legal before its neighbor to the south, South Carolina, does.

Still, we don't expect mobile to be offered statewide if that ever happens.  North Carolina is more likely to offer sports betting strictly at its one tribal casino in a very hard-to-reach portion of the state.

Have no fear, offshore sportsbooks are accessible from the state and want your business. Payouts can now be had in under a few hours.

Don't Forget About NASCAR

North Carolina is home to NASCAR and it goes without saying that more bets on NASCAR will likely be placed per capita from this state than any other.  Big race events include the Daytona 500 and Indy 500, but NASCAR and other Motorsports races take place throughout a good portion of the year.

College Basketball

Betting on the NFL and College Football, whether at Bovada or another site, is quite popular, though College Basketball dominates North Carolina with a number of marquee brands that include Duke and UNC.
