Welcome to the Super Bowl Bash, North Carolina! The Tar Heel State is hosting wagers for the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles clash this Sunday. North Carolina became the 38th U.S. state to legalize sports betting in March 2024, missing last year’s Super Bowl by a whisker.
The Tar Heel State stands alone as the newest market offering Super Bowl LIX betting odds. Regulators are thrilled to finally join the party.
Sterl Carpenter, North Carolina State Lottery Commission’s Chief Regulatory Officer, stated, “The benefits of legal sports wagering are that it happens under strong regulations that protect the person placing a bet, ensuring they get their winnings and that their personal information is protected. If you choose to bet on the Super Bowl, do it legally with one of the eight licensed operators in North Carolina.”
Online sports betting is booming in North Carolina. Despite the absence of retail sportsbooks, the state recorded a $629.5 million December handle, ranking 10th among reported states. Since last March, bettors have wagered over $5 billion, with eight online operators generating over $583 million in revenue. The state has already collected more than $100 million in tax income, exceeding expectations.
Major players like FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, Caesars, Fanatics Sportsbook, ESPN BET, bet365, and Underdog Sports are active in the state.
A BetMGM spokesperson told Covers on Wednesday, “It is great having North Carolina live for the Super Bowl. N.C. ranks eighth among states in total handle wagered on the Super Bowl at BetMGM.”
The American Gaming Association projects that bettors will legally wager $1.39 billion on the Super Bowl in the U.S.
