The market
North Carolina launched online betting in March 2024, timed to the men's college basketball tournament. Eight operators went live at once with heavy promotional pushes. Operators have paid a 23% tax since July 2026, up from 18% at launch.
What this means for matched betting
North Carolina launched into the college basketball tournament with eight operators at once, and the promotional intensity of that period has since normalised. A 23% tax, raised from 18% in July 2026, keeps offers moderate. The field is wide enough to hedge across comfortably.
Figures are indicative and can change as markets evolve. Always confirm current rules, tax and the legal age with the NCSLC before you bet.
