North Carolina regulator releases notice of proposed rulemaking
The sports betting commission will open the floor for public comment during a meeting next month.
The North Carolina State Lottery Commission has published a notice of proposed rulemaking, which outlines the guidelines for responsible gaming limits, integrity monitoring of suspicious behavior, suspension and restoration of wagering accounts, simulcasting agreements and licensing requirements.
The document gives specifics on procedure and methods operators must follow to remain in compliance with state regulations.
This spring, North Carolina joined the ranks of more than 35 US states that allow legal sports wagering within their borders. Sports betting statewide made its debut in March.
The commission said in a statement, “With this notice of proposed rulemaking, the commission has set a public hearing and issued a request for public comment on the adoption of certain proposed rules and amendments to be included in the North Carolina State Lottery Commission Rules Manual for Sports Wagering and Pari-Mutuel Wagering.”
North Carolina residents will have the opportunity to offer public comment and feedback during a session on October 8, starting at 9AM at the North Carolina State Lottery Commission Headquarters in Raleigh.
The meeting is scheduled to last no more than three hours.
Under the current regulations, the Lottery Commission is allowed to award up to 12 interactive sports wagering operator licenses statewide once the market is established. Players would then have access to online and mobile betting, as well as in-person wagering.
During the past six years since the Supreme Court lifted the federal ban on sports wagering, 38 states and the District of Columbia have established regulated sports betting markets.
Along with Washington DC, 27 states currently offer both online and retail sports wagering options.
