Based out of the United Kingdom, Betfred Sportsbook has steadily expanded its business across the United States over the past decade. Now, Betfred is one of the more prominent sports betting operators in the country, with licensing to operate in nine states.
The first sportsbooks in North Carolina rolled out on March 11, 2024. While Betfred was not among the first batch of operators in the state, HB 347 allows for up to 12 online sportsbooks to run in the state at any given time, so there is still an opportunity for Betfred to apply for a license in the Tar Heel State.
In this Betfred NC overview, we’ll go over all the important information North Carolina bettors should be aware of before joining the bookie once they are granted licensure, along with the potential welcome bonus they’ll extend to new users.
Is Betfred Sportsbook legal and licensed in North Carolina?

Betfred’s most likely welcome bonus offer in NC would be a twofold promo that matches the offer in other states of operation.
The first part of their bonus is pretty straightforward. Users will earn $111 in Fred Bets after placing and settling a $50 cash wager. Qualifying wagers may not contain boosted odds wagers, futures bets, and any wager with odds longer than +300.
For the second leg of Betfred’s welcome offer, users can earn a 50 percent refund bonus on their net losses from the initial qualifying wager up to $200 per week over the following five weeks.
Although Betfred has not yet reached North Carolina, residents in the state could still sign up for Betfred ahead of time. However, this could disqualify them from NC's welcome bonus offer, so if you choose to do so, use your best discretion.
