Sports Betting in South Carolina
South Carolina was the place to be this March Madness with the women's Gamecocks favored to win the championship for South Carolina at -120. The Gamecocks, Clemson Tigers and Charleston Cougars were all represented in the NCAA Men's Tournament. BetOnline had a ton of player and game props as well as futures for each of these teams.
After Utah, South Carolina is widely considered the most restricted State when it comes to gambling offerings. There are no casinos (except cruises), no sports betting, and poker has been deemed illegal. There is a state lottery and some bingo offerings. That’s about the extent of it.
Nevertheless, sports betting sites have been accessible here for the past two decades and bookmakers do enjoy a presence in the state.
There is certainly good reason. The Clemson Tigers are among the most successful college football programs in the nation. Granted they are struggling to start the 2023 season. The Gamecocks have a huge loyal fanbase, though their success has been limited in recent years, and that continued in 2023. South Carolina faced off against Notre Dame in the Gator Bowl last season following a decent enough season. The Gamecocks owned an 8-4 regular season record coming into that one.
South Carolina did lose a handful of key players to the transfer portal after the 2022 season, and this might explain their sluggish start in 2023. They included defensive lineman Jordan Burch, top rusher MarShawn Lloyd and tight end Austin Stogner. The good news, quarterback Spencer Rattler and receiver Antwane Wells Jr. return in 2023.
Second season head coach Shane Beamer also received a generous contract extension. Beamer is expected to receive more than double his current annual salary of $2.75 million. Beamer will be getting $6.5 million annually.
"Coach Beamer has done a tremendous job as the leader of our football program," South Carolina athletic director Ray Tanner said. "His passion and desire to excel on and off the field have inspired our student athletes and our great fanbase. I am very excited about the synergy and trajectory of our football program. He knows what a high-quality football program should encompass. I am delighted that he is our football coach."
South Carolina also celebrates the Panthers in the NFL, but that team was off to a rough start in 2023. Looks like a long season ahead.
Coastal Carolina has also enjoyed a great deal of success in recent years.
