I support mobile sports betting in North Carolina and I urge you to vote in favor of bringing mobile sports betting to our state. I want to place bets directly from my phone or computer, from my home, just like what people can do in so many other states across the country, including in Virginia and Tennessee. Sports fans across North Carolina are currently placing bets through illegal platforms that lack critical security features and provide no consumer protections. A lot of these illegal apps seem legitimate, but they don’t have secure payment systems, tools for responsible gaming or protections against underage play. I believe that you should stand up for consumer protections, including those that we desperately need for mobile sports betting in North Carolina.

Why is North Carolina letting millions of dollars leave the state and fill the pockets of illegal sports betting platforms? Right now, if people in North Carolina choose to bet on sports from their phone they’re doing it through illegal websites that offer no protections. We have the opportunity to make mobile sports betting legal and get some funding for important things in our state. This is our chance to stop illegal offshore platforms and keep sports betting money right here in North Carolina, but that’s not going to happen without mobile sports betting.

As your constituent I am asking that you please bring mobile sports betting to North Carolina. Legal mobile sports betting seems like a common sense move for North Carolina. It would bring money to our state and get people to stop using illegal mobile betting websites that provide no protections or responsible gaming options. Now is the time to bring mobile sports betting to North Carolina! Why would we keep sending sports betting money to other states or illegal operators when it could help our state? Please keep sports fans safe and keep sports betting money in North Carolina.

I am asking you to please bring safe and legal mobile sports betting to North Carolina. Sports fans across North Carolina are placing bets through platforms that lack critical security features and traveling to other states that have mobile sports betting.

Thank you!

People all over the country in states like Virginia and Tennessee can place bets directly from their phone or computer. Why can’t we do that in North Carolina? I want to be able to do it from my phone just like I do with most everything else I do. Sports fans shouldn’t have to go to other states and we shouldn’t leave that money on the table, especially when it can be applied to important priorities for our state. In order to keep sports betting revenue in North Carolina, we need a legal alternative to illegal mobile apps that rip people off, provide no consumer protections and deliver no money to our state. Please pass mobile sports betting for North Carolina!

Please bring safe and legal mobile sports betting to North Carolina and out of the shadows. We all know that mobile sports betting is already happening in North Carolina, it is just being done illegally with offshore operators who have no interest or reason to protect our residents in North Carolina. If I want access to secure payment methods and consumer protections I shouldn’t have to go to other states like Virginia and Tennessee to bet with legal operators. Sports fans across North Carolina are placing bets on their phone through illegal apps or going to other states, but it does nothing to keep money here in North Carolina to help our communities. Please stand up and protect sports fans in North Carolina by bringing mobile sports betting out of the shadows and ensuring that we keep sports betting money here in North Carolina. Thank you!
