North Carolina Criteria to Request an Online Sports Betting License
In North Carolina, if an operator wants to apply for a license, they first need to team up with one of several specific sports organizations. These include any of the five professional sports teams, two racing speedways, two PGA Tour event locations, the PGA Tour itself, or NASCAR. It's important to note that even though there is a partnership with one of these groups, it doesn't mean they're automatically going to get a license.
This requirement is part of a broader strategy, like what we've seen with FanDuel recently. They've beefed up their golf betting options in the past four months, introducing a bunch of new in-play betting types.

Charlotte Motor Speedway, located in Concord, just 13 miles from Charlotte, is famous for its thrilling races and enthusiastic fans. With a rich history spanning over 50 years in motorsports, this iconic venue has now become a key player in BetMGM's efforts to revolutionize the sports betting scene in North Carolina.
Which Sportsbook will stand the best against the other?
The key distinction between FanDuel and BetMGM lies in their approach. FanDuel stands out for its user-friendliness, speed, and functionality, making it a breeze to use. On the other hand, BetMGM boasts a wider array of features and options, which, while offering more variety, can lead to a slightly slower and less straightforward user experience. When it comes to payouts and odds boosts, FanDuel takes the lead, also offering Daily Fantasy Sports contests. BetMGM, however, excels in providing a more extensive range of betting choices, a loyalty program, numerous promotions, superior customer service, and a notably superior selection of online casino games.
