North Carolina Sports Betting

North Carolina sportsbook locations. There are three tribal casinos with retail sportsbooks: Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort, Harrah’s Cherokee Valley River Casino, and Catawba Two Kings Casino. North Carolina online sports betting sites are available with offshore sportsbooks such as BetOnline.ag or Bovada. In state sportsbooks are not expected to offer online sports betting until 2024. If you want the convenience of wagering from home before then, use one of the offshore sportsbooks and get a fat welcome bonus to get started.

There are just three active, retail sportsbooks in North Carolina. Two are operated by the Cherokee; Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort and Harrah’s Cherokee Valley River Casino & Hotel. The Catawba Nation tribe operates the third sportsbook in a temporary facility of the Two Kings Casino.

If you bet at a retail sportsbook in North Carolina you will not be able to wager on politics. The North Carolina retail sportsbooks will also not be allowed to bet on Entertainment props such as the Oscars or Grammy’s.  If you want to wager on politics or entertainment props you can still do so with an offshore sportsbook.

An advantage to the offshore sportsbooks is that a book like BetOnline.ag operates in all 50 states. You will not need to register again if you cross state-lines for business or vacation. It is also nice not to have bets rejected because the location tracking does not work properly. This can happen repeatedly if you are near the state border.
