North Carolina Online Sports Betting To Start In March

On March 1, betting customers can start creating new accounts and depositing money with a licensed operator that has obtained a certificate.

Legal online sports betting in North Carolina is set to soon begin.

State gambling regulators set the starting date of March 11 for the eve of the region’s beloved Atlantic Coast Conference men’s basketball tournament. Starting at noon that day, sports betting can commence on mobile devices and computers.

Anyone 21 or older will be able to make bets on pro, college or olympic-style sports. But the opening date emphasizes the importance of college basketball in the state, where four ACC schools are located and the men’s tournament began in the 1950s.
