North Carolina lawmakers are seeking to double the state\u2019s sports betting tax to 36%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Republicans from the state Senate released their two-year budget on Monday, calling to increase the tax rate on North Carolina\u2019s eight sportsbooks from 18% to 36%. Senate Bill 257<\/a>, if approved, would go into effect Oct. 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The move is intended to generate additional revenue from the burgeoning sports betting industry. During its first year of operation, the state collected approximately $128 million in tax revenue, outperforming most expectations prior to the March 2024 launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n North Carolina\u2019s eight active operators are bet365, BetMGM, Caesars, DraftKings, ESPN Bet, Fanatics, FanDuel, and Underdog. A maximum of 12 licenses can be issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Under the current structure, the athletic departments at 13 UNC System schools receive $300,000 from North Carolina sports betting tax revenue and 20% of the remaining proceeds following other distributions. The new budget calls for allocating between $500,000 and $1.5 million based on tiers and splitting the remaining 20% of funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Notably, UNC and NC State would be added to the revised distribution list, each receiving 10% of the funds following the issuance of required funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is also a clause mandating that UNC and NC State schedule more games with other schools in the UNC System to bolster in-state rivalries. Lawmakers suggest that by the 2039-40 season, they play at least three regular-season or exhibition basketball games against all four UNC System schools at the Division II level and two in the regular season against Division I schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is tied to the sports gambling changes,\u201d a Senate Republican spokesperson said via WRAL<\/a>. \u201cWith (NC) State and UNC in at a new ‘power conference athletics’ tier for the sports gambling revenue, it is our intent that they play the other system schools.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n North Carolina is far from the first state to seek changes to its sports betting tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ohio hiked its rate from 10% to 20%, and Gov. DeWine was considering raising it again to 40%<\/a>, while Illinois implemented a sliding scale up to 40%. Kansas, whose current rate of 10% is one of the lowest in the country, is also considering a change<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sports betting expansion has slowed since the Tar Heel State launched operations. Thirty-eight states plus Washington, D.C., now allow some form of sports betting, with Missouri on deck for this fall. A few other states, including Hawaii<\/a>, are in active legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the North Carolina State Lottery Commission, North Carolinians placed more than $6.6 billion in bets during the first year of legal sports betting, resulting in approximately $713 million in gross wagering revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere the Additional North Carolina Tax Revenue Would Go<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
