Sportsbooks open in North Carolina on March 11. Players can already open accounts. This allows players to get prelaunch offers for North Carolina betting sites. This includes extra bonus bets in addition to the standard new player offers.
Since online gambling is new to North Carolina bettors, potential players may not know how to fund accounts. Eight sportsbooks open in the state on March 11. Those are:
- Bet365
- BetMGM
- Caesars
- DraftKings

Its daily fantasy sports site accepts Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, PayNearMe, Skrill, and bank transfers. Most or all of these options should be available for NC sports betting.
North Carolina Online Sportsbook Withdrawal Options
North Carolina online sportsbooks offer the same types of withdrawal options as other states. In most cases, the deposit option used is also the withdrawal one. In the case of ewallets like PayPal, it is required.
The exceptions are when credit cards, debit cards, and PayNearMe are used. In those cases, another method must be used. Bank transfers are the preferred option. Another is the Play+ prepaid debit card. These transactions may be withdrawn to a bank account. Other options are using the card at a retailer that accepts Discover. Cash may be withdrawn from ATMs with the Discover logo for a small fee.
