Estimated Tax Proceeds

North Carolina applies an 18 percent tax rate to gross wagering revenue generated by sports wagering activity. Based on June's results, the estimated tax proceeds for the month come to $9,745,219. This represents the estimated tax generated from June's reported gross wagering revenue.

North Carolina's regulated sports betting market operates under House Bill 347, which state lawmakers signed into law in June 2023. The law established the framework for licensed operators to begin accepting wagers, and the market officially launched on March 11, 2024, opening to residents 21 and older through a slate of mobile and online platforms. Eight sportsbook apps were licensed to operate in the state at launch, giving North Carolina one of the larger operator lineups among states with legal online sports betting.

The Lottery Commission releases these figures monthly, giving an ongoing picture of activity across the state's licensed NC betting apps since online sports wagering launched in North Carolina.
