DraftKings and NASCAR Launch Mobile Sports Betting in North Carolina on March 11!

This exciting development comes as a result of collaborative efforts with local stakeholders and regulatory authorities, aimed at responsibly integrating sports betting into the fabric of North Carolina's entertainment landscape.

In a strategic move, DraftKings has inked a partnership deal with NASCAR, paving the way for its entry into North Carolina's burgeoning online betting market. This collaboration not only signifies a strategic alliance but also underscores DraftKings' commitment to fostering responsible wagering options within the state.

With the forthcoming launch in North Carolina, DraftKings Sportsbook is poised to extend its footprint to 27 U.S. states and Ontario, Canada, further solidifying its position as a leading provider of online sports betting services.

North Carolina, renowned for hosting a plethora of sporting events including NASCAR races and boasting professional teams across various leagues, presents a fertile ground for DraftKings to offer an array of betting options to eligible residents while ensuring adherence to responsible gambling practices.

The DraftKings online sportsbook platform is poised to offer an immersive experience, featuring an array of functionalities such as same-game parlays, in-game betting, and special odds boosts. Moreover, the platform will operate under stringent regulatory oversight, incorporating safeguards like deposit limits and access to responsible gaming resources.

Matt Kalish, President of DraftKings North America, expressed enthusiasm about the venture, stating, “The Tar Heel State is home to a passionate fanbase and some of the most iconic college basketball programs of all time, making this an exciting time to introduce legalized online sports betting. We’re proud to be working alongside NASCAR as our market access partner and look forward to enhancing the fan experience across North Carolina with a fun, safe, and seamless sports betting product.”

To commemorate the milestone, DraftKings, in collaboration with NASCAR, will host a ceremonial first bet on March 11 at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte. The event is set to feature prominent figures such as former Carolina Panthers player Greg Olsen, alongside other dignitaries.

In addition to the highly anticipated launch, DraftKings is actively raising awareness about problem gambling during Problem Gambling Awareness Month in March. The company has forged partnerships with organizations like the National Council on Problem Gambling to champion responsible gaming practices and provide valuable resources to its customers.

DraftKings' expansion into North Carolina comes hot on the heels of its acquisition of Jackpocket, a digital lottery app, and successful launches in Vermont and Ontario, further solidifying its position as a trailblazer in the realm of online gaming and sports betting.
