It was one of the worst seasons in franchise history, a 2-15 campaign marked by a coaching change, a meddlesome owner and a rookie quarterback struggling to adjust to the NFL. For the Carolina Panthers, will it get any better in 2024?

If the early odds being offered by Sportsbooks are any indication, the Charlotte-based franchise is staring down at another long and painful season. Betting apps have the Panthers at +13000 to win the NFC, well behind the Cardinals, CoMMAnders and Giants, all next-to-last at +6000. And to win the Super Bowl? That bet is carrying +25000 odds, longest of any NFL team, and far behind the next-to-last team on the board, the Titans at +15000.

None of that bodes well for new coach Dave Canales, taking over a team that had the NFL’s worst record last season, and doesn’t have a first-round pick in the forthcoming NFL Draft. With North Carolina Sports betting going live on March 11, local fans will now be able to back – or fade – their team all season long.

The NFL is the king of sports betting in the United States, meaning that the Panthers promise to be a staple of legal wagering in North Carolina, regardless of their record. And local bettors can wager on the entire NFL slate, too, on North Carolina betting apps once they are live.

In the weeks after launch, North Carolina sports bettors can look for odds on the Panthers making the NFL playoffs, Carolina win totals for the coming season, and other wagers focusing on the Panthers’ 2024 campaign as well as the April 25-27 NFL Draft.

North Carolina Online Betting Launching Soon

Beginning with preregistration, sports bettors will also be able to claim North Carolina sportsbook promos, which typically award bonus bets that users can then use to wager on the Panthers or any other NFL team. You must be at least 21 years old and physically within the state to claim promo code offers, or to bet legally in North Carolina.

Because legal betting apps haven’t yet launched in North Carolina, we don’t quite know what those offers will look like. But top betting apps like Caesars Sportsbook have a proven track record of offering terrific welcome bonuses to new users, and you can expect the Caesars Sportsbook North Carolina promo code to follow suit.

Also look for deals like the BetMGM North Carolina bonus code. It’s current national offer is a Bet $5, Get $150 bonus in live, legal states, and it typically offers great incentives during a new state launch. And there’s no limit to the number of bonus offers you can claim after launch day—if it’s legally available in North Carolina, it’s there for the taking.

A newer player on the scene, ESPN BET, has been offering new users a generous welcome deal, and the  ESPN BET North Carolina promo offer should be no different. We expect the same from a  Fanatics Sportsbook North Carolina promo code early sign-up bonus as well.

Just remember that bonus bets attached to any offer from any operator do expire, typically between seven to 14 days, so make sure and read the terms and conditions of each offer. All of these offers help new customers build their bankroll, make more wagers, and increase their chances of winning. Now, if only the same could be said for the Carolina Panthers.
