North Carolina sports betting is closing in, and it makes sense to grab the early sign-up bonuses before launch on Monday, since many of the extra, no-deposit bonus bets will go away after noon ET on Monday.
There will be eight sportsbooks available in the state starting Monday at noon (or shortly after). Seven apps, including FanDuel, DraftKings, bet365 and BetMGM, are doling out stronger pre-registration offers than what’s expected to be live at launch.
Many of the offers are “additive,” meaning you get something extra for signing up early, plus the regular launch offer. Only at BetMGM NC do you have to pick between the pre-launch offer and the live offer, though they have not confirmed the live offer yet. It’s bet $5, get $150 in other states.
The offers vary in style just a little bit. Most are what we call “bet/get” offers, meaning you just have to deposit a little and you’ll get a few hundred in bonus bets. So to get a ton of value before Monday, there’s not a whole lot of investment required.

1. Fanatics Sportsbook
- Promo Code: Click Here
- Pre-Launch offer: $100 on registration; deposit $50, get a hat worth $60; 10-day, $100 bet match
- Total max value: $1,160
- Live offer: 10-day, $100 bet match or bet $20, get $200
_PromotionID=[27251]
Fanatics Sportsbook North Carolina has three parts to its pre-launch offer:
- Get $100 in bonus bets when you signing up before Monday at noon
- On your first $50 deposit, you’ll get a $60 merchandise credit
- When betting goes live, you’ll get the $100, 10-day bet match.
Then when betting goes live, if you haven’t registered, you’ll choose between the $100/10-day bet match and a bet $20, get $200 FanCash offer (FanCash converts 1-1 to bonus bets or merch in the Fanatics store).
If you’re comfortable depositing a few hundred dollars, the bet match will make more sense, but if you want something low-risk/low-investment, the bet $20/get $200 might be a better option.
2. bet365
- Promo Code: TOPACTION
- Pre-Launch offer: Deposit $10, get $100 bonus bets on launch day
- Live offer: Bet $5, get $200 bonus bets or $1,000 first bet safety net
- Total max value: $300*
_PromotionID=[27255]
By usingbet365 NC bonus code TOPACTION, you’ll get both a pre-launch offer if you deposit early and the normal live offer. If you register after noon ET on Monday, you’ll just get the live offer.
- If you take the bonus bet offer with the early sign-up, you’ll get $300 in total value.
- If you take the insurance offer with an early sign-up, it can be worth much more than $1,000, but it can also be worth much less. If you were to hedge the insurance bet, you could guarantee about $450 in cash, so we’ll call it $550 total value.
Take the $200 in bonus bets at launch if you don’t want to wager $600+ on your first bet insurance. If you max it out, it is higher value, but anything under $500 and you’re better off just taking the bonus bets.
3. FanDuel Sportsbook
- Promo Code: None needed
- Pre-Launch offer: $100 bonus bets for early signup
- Live offer: Bet $5, get $200 bonus bets
- Total max value: $300 bonus bets
_PromotionID=[27247]
The FanDuel North Carolina promo is simple. You’ll get $100 for signing up early, plus $200 at launch. If you don’t sign up early, you’ll just get the $200 at launch.
If you’ve only played DFS at FanDuel, you should be eligible for the live offer. But if you’ve signed up for FanDuel Sportsbook in another state, you won’t get the full $200 — likely something smaller.
4. DraftKings Sportsbook
- Promo Code: None needed
- Pre-Launch offer: $100 bonus bets for early signup
- Live offer: $200 after launch
- Total max value: $300 bonus bets
_PromotionID=[27364]
The DraftKings North Carolina offer is pretty much the same as FanDuel. You’ll get $100 for signing up early, plus another $200 after your first $5 wager.
The only difference is FanDuel allows you to split up your bonus bets into any increment you’d like, while DK will give you eight, $25 bonus bets.
