North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper said the goal was to launch mobile sports betting before the NCAA tournament, which begins on March 19. A lottery spokesperson said an earlier start than June 15 could be achievable, while the commission had yet to announce an official date; operator applications could be discussed at January meetings.
North Carolina lottery officials require mobile operators seeking to join the first launch wave to submit licence applications by 27 December. Officials said the market will not be operating by the Super Bowl on 11 February, while legislation requires operators to be able to launch by mid-June 2024. The state has not announced a launch date.
North Carolina Lottery staff reported 43 requests for sports betting applications: 11 from mobile operators, eight from service providers and 24 from suppliers. The lottery committee hopes to receive operator applications by 27 December, while proposed changes to the rules—including marketing and facility naming rights—await a full commission decision expected on 13 December. Mobile betting was previously expected to launch after the 2024 Super Bowl, with platforms required by law to go live by mid-June.
bet365 and DraftKings planned to accept sports bets from customers aged 18 and over when Kentucky mobile wagering launched on Thursday, the report said.

Kentucky was scheduled to launch mobile sports wagering on 28 September, following a retail launch earlier in the month, the report said. FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, Caesars Sportsbook, Fanatics Sportsbook, bet365 and Barstool Sportsbook intended to go live on launch day.
