The North Carolina Lottery Commission approved a series of rules for mobile sports betting on Thursday but did not give any clearer indication when people will be able to start placing bets.
Earlier this week, officials acknowledged betting will not begin on Jan. 8, which is the earliest date possible under the law. The deadline to launch is June 15.
The new rules approved Thursday touch on a variety of issues including how companies can advertise to players. The commission also approved a catalog that outlines what sports and leagues betting operators will be able to accept wagers. There is also a petition process that will be in place to add to the catalog in the future.
