Online Casinos in North Carolina
Although North Carolina has a long tradition with some great land-based casinos, it has not legalized online casinos. There have been discussions of legalizing online casinos, but there are no concrete plans in place at this time.
North Carolina does have a state lottery, which can indicate an openness to other forms of betting.
The nearest online casinos will be in West Virginia, which has already approved legislation. Tennessee has approved online sports betting.
But, you can still register with a legal online casino while you’re in Georgia. That means you can get the casino’s bonus offers or deposit, and then play whenever you’re in states where it’s legal (even in a layover at the airport). (Do be aware of the casino bonus’s expiry date, though.)

There are two Indian casinos in North Carolina. Both casinos are affiliated with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and both offer electronic games, such as slot machines, as well as table games.
The casinos are not required to release information on the payback percentages of their electronic games. However, according to the terms of their compact with the state, the video machines are required to return a minimum of 83% to a maximum of 98%.
In many states, the slot machine payback statistics for that particular state’s casinos are released as a matter of public record. However, North Carolina is not one of those states. Just click here to see a list of slot machine payback statistics for all U.S. casinos.
