Advanced Deposit Wagering
At this time, applications are not yet open for entities seeking to obtain an Advance Deposit Wagering (ADW) License that is necessary to offer and accept pari-mutuel wagers on horse race events. Pari-mutuel wagering is not yet authorized in North Carolina. The N.C. State Lottery Commission continues to work on a pari-mutuel horse race wagering program that will be beneficial for the state.
