RALEIGH, N.C. – North Carolina mobile sports betting kicks off at noon on Monday, March 11. Residents can choose between eight different legal sports betting apps coming to the state with various welcome bonuses and unique selling points.

Every online sports betting operator must partner with a North Carolina professional sports team, league, or venue to earn a sports betting license. Here are the eight North Carolina sports betting operators licensed at the state level.

• BetMGM – Charlotte Motor Speedway
• Bet365 – Charlotte Hornets
• Caesars Sportsbook – Tribal Casino Gaming Enterprise
• DraftKings – NASCAR
• ESPN BET – Quail Hollow Club
• Fanatics Sportsbook – Carolina Hurricanes
• FanDuel – PGA Tour
• Underdog Sports Wagering – McConnell Golf

At an 18% tax rate, these sportsbooks will earn North Carolina roughly $130 million in two years. North Carolina also requires bettors to pay back their winnings, so winning a $1,000 bet on March Madness requires the winner to pay back $47.50 to the state.

Bovada, BetOnline Offer Better Benefits For NC Players

Internationally-licensed sportsbooks like Bovada or BetOnline offer bigger bonuses, lower transaction fees, and a wider range of sportsbook deposit methods. The top state-licensed operators in North Carolina only offer up to $300 in bonus bets for new North Carolina players, while Bovada offers a 50% match up to $1,000 on your first deposit with code BVD1000.

BetOnline’s North Carolina welcome bonus is even bigger for crypto deposits, offering a 100% deposit match up to $1,000 for Bitcoin or altcoins like Dogecoin. You can legally bet on sports with crypto at BetOnline since they are licensed with the gaming commission in Panama and have served North Carolina players for over 25 years.
