As of my last update in early 2023, betting on horse racing in North Carolina is limited. There are no pari-mutuel horse racing tracks in the state, and on-track betting is not permitted. However, residents and visitors can still participate in horse racing betting through off-track betting facilities and online platforms that are licensed to operate in the state.

The North Carolina Education Lottery operates a network of off-track betting centers where individuals can bet on horse races from tracks around the country. These facilities are typically located within existing lottery terminals and offer simulcast horse racing from tracks in other states.

Additionally, several online platforms offer legal horse racing betting to residents of North Carolina. These platforms are typically licensed through other states that allow online betting, and they enable users to bet on races from their computers or mobile devices.

It’s important to note that the legal landscape for gambling can change, and you should verify the current laws and available options before participating in horse racing betting in North Carolina. Always ensure that you are using a legal and licensed betting service to avoid any legal issues.
