Mobile sports betting is coming to North Carolina, going live sometime in early 2024 — potentially in time for major wagering events such as the Super Bowl, March Madness and the Masters. Sports bettors in the state can get a leg up on launch day by familiarizing themselves with the sportsbooks most likely to operate in North Carolina, and the types of welcome bonuses they offer.
Because there will be welcome bonuses, smart bettors take advantage of as many as they can. North Carolina sportsbook promos will offer first-time account holders perks such as bonus bets that help boost their bankroll and offset some risk. Take advantage of them all, and you could be looking at thousands of dollars in bonus bets and other welcome offers — all available for signing up and meeting certain deposit or first-bet minimums.
Each of the North Carolina betting apps approved to operate in the state will offer its own welcome bonus, such as one likely available via the Caesars Sportsbook North Carolina promo code. In all cases, customers must be first-time users aged 21 or older.
Types of Welcome Offers to Expect
The welcome offers made available from North Carolina betting sites will vary by operator, so users should shop around and see what each has to offer. These welcome offers are reserved for first-time customers, so users claim the offers by signing up for an account, which requires inputting information to verify age, location and identity. Sometimes there’s an actual code to enter at signup.
While we don’t yet know what the specific welcome offers for North Carolina sportsbooks will be, we can get a good idea of the best ones to watch out for should they launch. The BetMGM North Carolina bonus code will undoubtedly be one of the best as it typically is in every state where it launches.
Also be on the lookout for a FanDuel North Carolina promo code and DraftKings North Carolina bonus code. You might know them from DFS, but these two powerhouses boast incredible sportsbooks, too.
Make Sure to Know Terms and Conditions
Bonus bets received through sportsbook welcome offers can’t be redeemed for cash, and they expire after a given length of time — usually seven days. Bonus bets also are sometimes awarded as a single bet, sometimes as several individual wagers and sometimes as a lump sum that can divided up how you see fit. But in every case, they can be used to place nearly any bet available at the sportsbook which awarded them – though wagers on odds boosts are usually not allowed.
That makes a difference, especially for first-time account holders for whom $100 or $500 in bonus bets can go a very long way. Claiming welcome offers and having bonus bets in the bank gives bettors the confidence to pull the trigger on that first ACC basketball parlay or Duke team prop.
Welcome offers are easy to claim and make it easy to get started in sports betting — as bettors on Michigan sports betting apps and bettors in North Carolina will soon find out.
