North Carolina House sports betting bill heads to the Senate
House Bill 347, filed by representative Jason Saine and a bipartisan group of lawmakers, has advanced out of the North Carolina House after a 64-45 vote. It will now go to the Senate. North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper has already said he will sign it into law if it passes the senate.
HB347 would allow online wagering on sports by January 1, 2024. It allows for up to a dozen operators to acquire five-year renewable licences for $1m each. Betting would be permitted on professional, college, electronics and Olympic sports. The North Carolina State Lottery Commission would regulate sports betting, which is currently only allowed at tribal casinos in North Carolina.
