CHEROKEE, NC – The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians has partnered with Caesars Entertainment to bring the company’s sports wagering platform online in North Carolina for the launch of legalized mobile sports wagering. The agreement grants Caesars Sportsbook with mobile sports betting market access via a license held by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians Tribal Casino Gaming Enterprise.
Subject to required regulatory approvals, the platform would go live with mobile sports wagering when North Carolina launches online sports betting on March 11, 2024. Ahead of the official launch, the Caesars Sportsbook mobile app will begin accepting sign-ups and deposits starting on March 1.
“We are excited for this new venture with Caesars Entertainment and the enhancements it provides to our tribal enterprise,” said 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.”
