After several years on the sideline, North Carolina became the 30th state in the country -- in addition to Washington, D.C. -- to offer legal online sports betting on Monday. The basketball-wild jurisdiction gets its online sports betting infrastructure up and running just in time for March Madness.

The Tar Heel State spent the first few years following the fall of PASPA watching other states legalize sports betting and went through numerous iterations of its sports betting law. That is, until June when Gov. Roy Cooper signed HB 347 into law, which specifies that up to 12 interactive sports wagering licenses can be granted in the state.
