When will apps begin taking wagers?
While NC online sportsbooks are legal as of June 2023, prospective users will need to wait just a bit longer for the official launch of North Carolina online sports betting, set for March 11, 2024. Ahead of the go-live date, eligible users will have the opportunity to register early to get set up for all the exciting action.
Which online sportsbooks are launching in North Carolina?

North Carolina online sports betting pre-registration: Worth it?
Before North Carolina online sports betting is officially launched on March 11, 2024, eligible users will have the opportunity to register early beginning on March 1, 2024. At this point, pre-registration is somewhat of a common courtesy when a new state is set to launch online sportsbooks.
During these early sign-up periods, eligible users have the opportunity to register early and create their account on the soon-to-launch sports betting platform. During the NC online sports betting pre-registration window, users will also have the option to fund their accounts. This ensures those users will be ready to wager as soon as the Tar Heel State gives the green light for online betting on March 11, 2024.
Additionally, many of the pre-registration periods offered in other states have allowed users to score exclusive sportsbook bonuses. Typically, these pre-registration promos do not even require a deposit, as users can simply score a bonus for signing up early.
Get ready to wager with all the best North Carolina sports betting promos set to launch on March 11, 2024, and take your online betting experience to the next level.
