Caesars Entertainment, Inc. announced its premier sports wagering platform, Caesars Sportsbook, became the first sportsbook to launch legalized mobile sports betting in the state of North Carolina.

In addition to today’s exclusive launch on tribal lands and in advance of going live statewide on March 11, subject to regulatory approval, those 21 and older in North Carolina can download the Caesars Sportsbook app on iOS and Android or visit caesars.com/sportsbook on desktop to register and create their account. Convenient cash deposits and withdrawals for Caesars Sportsbook mobile accounts are also available at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort and Harrah’s Cherokee Valley River Casino & Hotel.
“The Caesars Sportsbook app is the perfect complement to our in-person retail sportsbooks in Western North Carolina that so many sports fans have enjoyed for years,” said Eric Hession, President of Caesars Digital. “We’re thankful to be able to offer wagering at the Harrah’s Cherokee properties as part of our longstanding relationship with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, and with the sports calendar heating up, there is a lot to be excited about. Thank you to the National Indian Gaming Commission, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, the North Carolina State Lottery Commission, and its Sports Betting Committee for making this day a possibility.”
“Over the years, the partnership between the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and Caesars Entertainment has only flourished and strengthened,” said Michell Hicks, Principal Chief of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. “We eagerly anticipate the chance to introduce mobile sports betting to North Carolina, offering a fresh and new experience to all sports fans.”
With quick payouts, a variety of deposit options, and many other user-friendly features, the Caesars Sportsbook app builds on the elevated and seamless sports wagering experience fans have historically enjoyed at Caesars destinations in North Carolina. The Caesars Sportsbook app also features lightning-fast scoreboards, same-game parlays, prop betting markets, expanded in-play betting options, livestreaming of marquee sporting events and much more.

We’re excited by this new exclusive title, and it is a testament to the innovation and creativity of our game designers to create a fun spin-off of one of our classic titles. Hard Rock Pork N Roll is sure to be a huge success- the name of the game alone makes it stand out as an instant classic! This game is evidence of our ability to create top-quality, bespoke content for all of our customers, something we’re looking forward to doing more of in future.”
