The North Carolina Lottery Commission's sports betting committee met for about 30 minutes Tuesday, moving forward with a second set of proposed rules.'
The first set of rules, which had its public comment period recently concluded, covered mostly sports wagering basics. The second set included more details, such as information on marketing guidelines when mobile sportsbooks go live in the state. The proposed rules came in the form of a 256-page document.'
“I did want to thank the folks on staff for putting together all this in a very quick, obviously, and thoughtful way,” Lottery Commission Chairman Ripley Rand said at Tuesday's meeting. “I don't think anybody on this committee or the commission itself signed up to be reading hundreds and thousands of pages of proposed rules, but the staff has made this process go probably as easily as it can go up to this point.”'
A timeline for the launch of sports betting apps was not discussed Tuesday. Legislation requires the state's mobile wagering market to be up and running by mid-June of 2024.'
