A provision in the draft regulations addressing fantasy sports defined what constitutes legal DFS contests and explicitly prohibited pick \u2019em-style games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pick\u2019em fantasy operators and proponents vehemently objected the proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Coalition for Fantasy Sports&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saturdaydownsouth.com\/sports\/north-carolina-puts-daily-fantasy-sports-rules-on-hold\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">claimed<\/a>&nbsp;North Carolina lawmakers had assured DFS operators like PrizePicks and Underdog Fantasy could continue offering fantasy pick\u2019em contests once they passed the bill that legalized sports wagering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a statement, the Coalition urged the Lottery Commission to honor the \u201cletter and spirit\u201d of the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>North Carolina\u2019s fantasy pick\u2019em operators scored a significant win when the Commission reconvened and removed all DFS provisions from its final sports betting regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, fantasy pick\u2019em sites in North Carolina still face future regulatory risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commission officials later explained that they removed the pick\u2019em provisions to focus on launching online sports betting. The first <a href=\"https:\/\/ycgts.shop\/states\/nc\/\">North Carolina sports betting sites<\/a> launched in March 2024, but the Lottery Commission has yet to revisit the DFS issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2

href=\"https:\/\/ycgts.shop\/laws\/uigea\/\">UIGEA<\/a>) exempts DFS from federal anti-gambling laws and leaves the issue up to states to decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, North Carolina law does not specifically address daily fantasy sports apps, leaving DFS neither prohibited nor explicitly authorized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>North Carolina\u2019s first attempt to legalize daily fantasy sports occurred in 2017 via&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncleg.gov\/BillLookup\/2017\/h279\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HB 279<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bill would have formally legalized DFS contests, implemented some basic consumer protection regulations, and required DFS operators to register with the Department of the Secretary of State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Registration fees would have been set at 10% of the previous year\u2019s revenues but no less than $2,500 and not exceeding $10,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before it could become law, HB 279 was shot down by lawmakers under pressure from anti-gambling groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The North Carolina Family Policy Council called it a \u201cmassive expansion of legalized gambling\u201d and succeeded in killing the bill before it could advance in the legislative process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lawmakers tried again in 2019 with the introduction of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncleg.gov\/BillLookup\/2019\/H929\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HB 929<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This bill would have established the North Carolina Gaming Commission, provided regulations for daily fantasy sports, and consolidated oversight over both under the new commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HB 929\u00a0failed in the House\u00a0due to pressure from anti-gambling representatives and former law enforcement officials who opposed the measure for various reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As lawmakers\u2019 attention turned to sports betting, the North Carolina State Lottery Commission announced plans to address pick\u2019em contests after online sports betting launched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-theme-palette-8-color has-theme-palette-1-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color
