March 11 is the slated launch day for online sports betting in North Carolina and bet365 is offering a unique pre-registration promotion from now until then. You can pre-register with the bet365 bonus code CTNEWS and deposit $10 to get $100 in bonus bets, plus you’ll get either $200 in bonus bets or $1,000 first bet insurance once the launch happens. Most users will opt for the guaranteed $200 bonus bets, even though the advertised amount is technically higher for the insurance.
With that bet and get offer, you’ll need to place a cash bet of at least $5 on or after launch day to trigger this promotion and get the $200.
Different types of early sign-up offers in North Carolina
Ahead of a large state launch like North Carolina, sportsbooks will often offer some kind of pre-registration promotion. Typically, those offers are structured in one of two ways: as an additive offer or as an either/or structured offer.
With the former, you’ll be able to pre-register and get the bonus bets from that promotion as well as claim whatever the go-live offer is in state. With the latter, you’ll only be able to claim one so either your pre-register or you get the go-live offer.
The bet365 North Carolina promotion is an additive offer, so you’ll get the pre-registration bonus bets in addition to the bonus bets from the go-live offer.
bet365 in Other States
Beyond just the Tar Heel State, bet365 is now operational in nine states (AZ, CO, IA, IN, KY, LA, NJ, OH and VA). With two available promotions housed under the same bonus code, CTNEWS.
When you use that code and the module below to sign up, you’ll be directed to a landing page where you’ll need to select one of the two offers: either a $1,000 bet insurance promotion or a $150 bet and get.
In eight of those nine jurisdictions, the legal betting age is 21 or older. However, based on state regulations in Kentucky, the legal betting age is 18 or older. It’s highly likely that the betting age in North Carolina will be 21 or older when it goes live on March 11.
Wagering w/bet365 in NC
Orlando Magic (-375) vs. Charlotte Hornets (+300)
The Magic take on the Hornets in Charlotte on Tuesday night as they hope to climb up the ladder in the Eastern Conference.
Currently, Orlando is in sixth but they’ve won three straight and are just a half game back from Philly so they could potentially play their way into the top five before the week is out.
Tuesday’s game is an excellent chance to bolster their seeding and the win streak against a Hornets team that has been plagued with injuries all year. Adding insult to literal injury, the Hornets haven’t been able to muster anything on the defensive end. And with three frontcourt players out or potentially out, the Magic have a good chance here.
Orlando’s offense utilizes the drive and kick very effectively which bodes poorly for a Hornets squad that gives up just over 53 points a game in the paint.
Overall, the Magic are 8.5 point favorites with a 209.5 point total. Bet on Orlando here to beat the spread, they’re good for it up to 9.5.
If you’re interested in a prop play, take a look at Paolo Banchero to go over the expected 5.5 assists. He’s been distributing a bit more post All Star break and the Hornets are especially susceptible to his style of deep drive and kick.
