Caesars Entertainment has expanded its partnership with Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians to bring its sports wagering platform to North Carolina.
Caesars Sportsbook mobile app will begin accepting sign-ups and deposits from March 1, ahead of mobile sports betting launching in the US state on March 11, 2024.
“Our relationship with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians has spanned more than two decades,” said Eric Hession, President of Caesars Digital. “Expanding this longstanding partnership allows us to build on the premier sports wagering experience enjoyed at our in-person sportsbooks by bringing a responsible way to enjoy sports at a deeper level to the hands of North Carolinians 21 and older across the state.
“We’re thankful to the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and to the North Carolina State Lottery Commission and its Sports Betting Committee for making this possible and we look forward to the launch of mobile sports betting in the Tar Heel State.”
“We are excited for this new venture with Caesars Entertainment and the enhancements it provides to our Tribal enterprise,” added Michell Hicks, principal chief of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. “We look forward to the continued opportunities that will benefit the future of our membership.”
