Notes
GGR is the report's "Gross Wagering Revenue" line. Tax paid is the report's "Estimated Tax Proceeds" line (18% through 2026-07-06, 23% from 2026-07-07 per S.L. 2026-41 §44.7(a)). The estimated tax does not always equal the nominal rate times the printed GGR line, so the tax base is not stated to be that figure. The operator tax rate rose from 18% to 23% effective 2026-07-07 (see data/jurisdictions/NC.yaml tax_rates); July 2026 is a part-month blend of both rates.
