However, this hasn't stopped poker enthusiasts from finding ways to play home games, and private clubs have long been a staple of the North Carolina poker scene.\r\n\r\nIn recent years, there's been a growing push for more gambling options in the state. In 2019, North Carolina took a significant step by legalizing sports betting at tribal casinos. While this doesn't directly impact poker, it suggests a potential softening of attitudes towards gambling in general.\r\n<h3>Poker Rooms in North Carolina<\/h3>\r\nPlaying poker in North Carolina is limited to specific venues - definitely leaves much to be desired when compared to states like Florida. All of these venues are run by the Eastern band of Cherokee Indians, making them tribal casinos. These are the legal places where you can enjoy a few hands, and some of the top places bring players from all over the US.\r\n\r\nNotable venues include Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort, which is managed by Caesars Entertainment, and the smaller Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Casino &amp; Hotel, offering a greater variety of poker.\r\n<h3>Notable Poker Players from North Carolina<\/h3>\r\nNorth Carolina has produced several successful poker players, each of whom has won major events and millions of dollars in prize money.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Topping the list, you have Greg \u2018Fossilman\u2019 Raymer with $8m in winnings and won the 2004 WSOP main event.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Next in the list are Chris Hunichen with over $7 million in live tournament earnings and Mark Newhouse with back-to-back 9th place finishes in the WSOP Main Event (2013 and 2014).<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Major Poker Tournaments<\/h3>\r\nThere have been a few significant poker events in North Carolina, all at tribal venues. World Series of Poker Circuit Events at Harrah's Cherokee are an annual stop on the WSOP Circuit, attracting players from across the region. This offers local players a chance to compete against top talent.\r\n\r\nHarrah's Cherokee Tournament Series is a regular tournament series throughout the year with a range of buy-ins to cater to all levels of players. The Cherokee Poker Classic, an Annual event at Harrah's Cherokee, features multiple tournaments over several days.\r\n<h2>Can You Play Online Poker for Real Money in North Carolina?<\/h2>\r\nThe question \"Is online poker legal in North Carolina?\" doesn't have a simple yes or no answer. Compared to more liberal states like\u00a0Pennsylvania or <a href=\"https:\/\/coinpoker.com\/tr\/online-poker\/michigan\/\">Michigan<\/a>, North Carolina's gambling laws are among the stricter ones in the United States, and they don't specifically address online poker. However, the state's general prohibition on gambling could be interpreted to include online poker.\r\n\r\nAccording to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/law.justia.com\/codes\/north-carolina\/chapter-14\/article-37\/\">Chapter 14, Article 37 of the North Carolina General Statutes<\/a>, any form of gambling not specifically authorized by the state is considered illegal. This includes \"any game of chance or any person who plays at or bets on any game of chance at which any money, property or other thing of value is bet, whether the same be in stake or not.\"\r\n\r\nDo note that these laws are mainly aimed at those operating gambling businesses, not individual players. To date, there have been no reported cases of North Carolina residents being prosecuted for playing online poker from their homes.\r\n\r\nThis is where offshore poker sites like CoinPoker come into play. We operate outside of U.S. jurisdiction, offering a platform for poker enthusiasts around the world. While we can't provide legal advice, many players choose to play on offshore sites due to the lack of state-regulated options.\r\n\r\nRemember, the world of online gambling laws is complex and ever-changing. It's always a good idea to stay informed about your local laws and regulations. If you have any questions, we recommend talking to someone familiar with North Carolina gambling laws.\r\n<h2>Taxation of Poker Winnings in North Carolina<\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to taxes, it's important to remember that all gambling winnings, including those from poker, are considered taxable income by the IRS. This applies whether you're playing in a live casino or online, and whether you're playing on a U.S.-based site or an offshore platform like CoinPoker.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here's what North Carolina poker players need to know about taxes: The state also considers poker winnings as taxable income, which must be reported on your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NC-1040<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> form. For more details, it is best to speak to a tax consultant who specialises in these areas.<\/span>\r\n<h2>How CoinPoker Compares to Other Online Poker Sites in North Carolina<\/h2>\r\nWhen it comes to online poker options for North Carolina players, CoinPoker stands out from the crowd.
