When it comes not only to online casinos but to casinos in general, North Carolina in the USA still has a long way to go in terms of liberalization. The state allows only those land-based casinos that are managed by the Cherokee Nation. In addition to a couple of tribal casinos, there is charitable gambling with only bingo and raffles permitted. Plus, there is the North Carolina Education Lottery.
As of 2020, the Cherokee Nation managed to push a bill later signed into a law that would permit sports betting in tribal casinos. As for the online gambling on slots and table games — looks like this type of entertainment is years away from being legalized in the state.
That being said, the statistics from our partners at H2GC shows that numerous players still head online — to international online lobbies — to gamble for real money. Some 40 million USD can be cited as the yearly gross win for offshore gambling platforms. In terms of onshore gambling, the statistics show, lotteries remain the most profitable business bringing in over one billion USD per year. Land-based casinos generate the gross gambling turnover of 603 mln USD.
