RALEIGH, N.C. (WAVY) – Will the Kansas City Chiefs or the Baltimore Ravens win this Sunday? Do you want to place bets?
Well, good news and bad news for the people of North Carolina. The good news is that sports betting will soon be legal, but not in time for the big game. Monday, March 11, has been set as the day legal sports betting can begin in North Carolina. Under the sports betting permit approved by the Commission, individuals aged 21 and over with established accounts will be able to place sports bets on licensed sports betting platforms from 12 p.m.
Before offering bets or registering new players, operators of interactive sports betting must obtain a license and obtain a certificate of compliance issued by the Commission, a press release said.
No licenses or certificates of compliance have been approved yet, although nine of them are currently under review.
“The Commission and its staff have made great progress in effectively adopting sports betting rules, establishing a system for accepting and verifying technical certifications, and assisting applicants with their applications,” said Cari Boyce, Chair of the Commission’s Sports Betting Committee. “This provides the framework for a responsible gaming program in North Carolina. Now it’s up to the applicants to complete the job to go live on March 11.”
