NC Sports Betting: Applicants Required to Submit Internal Controls Documents by January 26

Sports betting in the US is growing exponentially. We expect North Carolina to contribute to this growing market.
Last week, the North Carolina State Lottery Commission convened to receive a progress report on sports betting. This session largely mirrored the previous week's Sports Betting Committee meeting, during which committee members endorsed suggestions for independent laboratories and urged operator applicants to furnish internal controls documentation. The Commission granted unanimous approval for both recommendations.
Sterl Carpenter Announces Deadline for Applications
Wednesday's session brought forth a singular revelation—the announcement of a deadline for operator applicants to submit their internal controls documentation by January 26. Sterl Carpenter, the deputy executive director for gaming compliance and sports wagering at the lottery, emphasized to commission members that the approval of such documentation and processes is imperative for qualified applicants to obtain a certificate of compliance and commence sports betting operations.
Looking ahead, the Sports Betting Committee of the Lottery Commission is slated to convene next on January 30.
Additionally, Governor Roy Cooper of North Carolina has expressed the aspiration to launch North Carolina sports betting in time for the commencement of the NCAA men's basketball tournament. The tournament pairings are scheduled to be unveiled on March 17.
North Carolina Sports Betting Coming Soon
North Carolina Sports Betting has taken a huge step. On Wednesday, January 10, the North Carolina State Lottery Commission advanced its efforts to legalize online betting in the state.
The North Carolina State Lottery Commission has the authority to issue up to 12 interactive sports betting licenses to operators in North Carolina. With nine companies applying to be operators in the state, it appears that the establishment of 12 online betting operators is imminent, with partnership announcements forthcoming.
Examples of which online betting operators North Carolina Sports Betting will have are the following:
- Draftkings North Carolina
- FanDuel North Carolina
- BetMGM North Carolina
- Bet365 North Carolina
- ESPN BET North Carolina
- Caesars Sportsbook North Carolina
While the governor aims to launch mobile sports betting in time for March Madness, the Commission did not deliberate on setting an online betting "go-live" date during Wednesday's meeting.
In the event of a delay in launching before March Madness, North Carolina boasts numerous professional franchises and significant sporting events across the state. This ensures that the eventual rollout of sports betting, accompanied by an abundance of North Carolina sportsbook promos, is poised for massive success whenever it takes place.
Other Playing Options Available in North Carolina
In North Carolina, the Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) landscape is notably distinct. Although no explicit laws endorse DFS, there are also no prohibitions. Consequently, DFS operators can function in the state without the need for special permits. This situation allows residents of North Carolina to engage in DFS games without encountering legal issues.
