State law levies an 18 percent tax on the gross wagering revenue generated by sports betting activity. Gross wagering revenue is a total of amounts received from sports wagers less the amounts paid as winnings before any deductions for expenses, fees, or taxes.
In October, the gross wagering revenue was $48,659,761. After the 18 percent tax rate is applied, the estimated tax proceeds for the month would be $8,758,757. This is the money the N.C. Department of Revenue collects from sports betting.
