North Carolina sports betting bill voted through by house
| By Marese O'Hagan
North Carolina has moved a step forward in its journey to sports betting legalisation after the state’s house voted in favour of a bill that would regulate this form of gambling.
The bill will now be passed to North Carolina governor, Roy Cooper, who is expected to sign it into law.
This comes after two unsuccessful attempts at sports betting legalisation were passed before the end of the legislative session in June last year, and did not see any further progress.
