North Carolina sports betting won’t launch in time for the Super Bowl
Legal sports betting in North Carolina is unlikely to go live on time for the Super Bowl in February. That’s according to a statement from the North Carolina Lottery Commission after a meeting in December.
North Carolina’s legal mobile sports betting market must start between January 8 and mid-June. Commissioners had already ruled out January 8 as a realistic go-live date, but now say the Super Bowl on February 11 is out, too.
Commission chairman Ripley Rand said: “We see questions about whether sports betting will be up and running in time for the Super Bowl. It’s clear, however, with all the work remaining to be done and the timetable set out in state law that unfortunately won’t be the case.”
