Is DraftKings Legal in North Carolina?
DraftKings is not available in the Tar Heel State. The only betting company regulated and licensed in North Carolina is William Hill, however, they do not operate a mobile website. This could all change soon as the state is expected to begin launching mobile sites, though lawmakers opted against regulation in 2022. There are still mobile sites available via Web browsers that operate outside of NC accessible to those living in the state as well as local bookies. Jazz Sports welcomes players from North Carolina with a 200% Signup Bonus. The betting site allows those 18 and up to place bets and does not require a social security number to join. Let's check out the latest North Carolina sports betting news below.
January 2023
Carolina Panthers - The Panthers improved during the course of the regular 2022 season but failed to make the playoffs despite being in the worst division of the NFL.
The Panthers did end the season 7-10 and with the second best record in the NFC South. Following a slow start to the season, Carolina did finish 6-5 Straight Up. The team delivered a slight profit to bettors, going 9-8 Against The Spread.
UNC Tar Heels Football - The Tar Heels finished the 2022 season with a solid 9-4 regular season record Straight Up while going 6-7 Against The Spread. Though North Carolina dropped their Holiday Bowl game to Oregon, it was still a close one, 28-27.
North Carolina (9-5) got the ball to the Oregon 42 with one second left before Drake Maye’s desperation heave into the end zone fell incomplete.
“Very disappointed that we didn’t win, but we’ve got to make a play here or there, and they’re a great football team,” said North Carolina coach Mack Brown, who brought Texas to the Holiday Bowl five times between 2000 and 2011. “Nobody gave us a chance in the game and we had a chance with one second left. That’s all we could ask for in this situation.”
NC State Wolfpack Football - The Wolfpack went a respectful 8-4 Straight Up but just 4-8 Against The Spread, proving to be a dreadful performer for sports gamblers.
UNC Tar Heels Basketball - To start the new year, the Tar Heels owned an 11-5 record and were listed with 25-1 odds to win the 2023 NCAA Men's College Basketball Championship. They were just 5-10 Against The Spread.
To start off the year, the Tar Heels were still undefeated at home following a January 5 victory over Wake Forest.
The defense is why games stay close and coach Hubert Davis praised Seth Trimble for his defensive performance.
"One of the many reasons that we recruited him, he’s just gifted athletically and he’s a special defensive player. He can stay in front of the ball, he can rebound the basketball, he can make plays off the ball, he can get steals and deflections. Despite his height, he’s pretty strong you can’t post him up either. He’s a really special defensive player, but he was really good offensively for us as well."
Duke Blue Devils Basketball - Duke owned a 12-4 record Straight Up and 7-9 Against The Spread with odds to win the 2023 NCAA Men's College Basketball Championship hovering around 20-1.
Duke was entering the second week of January ranked No. 24 in the nation.
