North Carolina's Gambling Options
Casinos, lottery and sport betting are the main three types of gambling now available in NC. There are three tribal casinos operated by Native American reservations that offer slot machines and electronic games. The North Carolina Education Lottery provides various games, and charitable bingo halls operate throughout the state. But the most notable offering comes from the recent launch of NC sports betting in March 2024. Already, the concerns about the societal impacts from it - mainly gambling addiction - are growing.

People attending treatment for gambling issues were up 28%, while individuals wanting to block gambling apps on their phones or devices shot up 82%. Plus, chats to the helpline were up 104%. While call volume overall went up, those related to the state lottery stayed about the same from 2023 to 2024.
Amanda Winters of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) said that while lottery was the primary gambling preference of callers in past years, sports betting took the lead in 2024, with calls going up 88%.
The average age of helpline callers for sports betting-related problems was 35-55, but there was a 33% increase in people aged 25-44 years old.
