Gov. Lamont Announces CT Online Sports Betting Launch
Gov. Ned Lamont officially ushered in Connecticut sports betting’s full launch Monday afternoon after a successful soft launch in the state that saw no problems.
“This is an exciting moment for our state and our tribal partners,” Governor Lamont said in A PRESS RELEASE. “Connecticut has proven to be a leader when it comes to the gaming economy going back decades, and that legacy will continue with the launch of these new online options for all eligible residents. I am very proud to say that I placed the first legal, in-person sports wager in our state’s history just two weeks ago, and I encourage those who want to participate in placing wagers to do so, responsibly.”
The Mohegan Tribe, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe and the Connecticut Lottery are now offering sports betting services to state residents through their FanDuel, DraftKings and Rush Street Intractive partnerships, respectively.
FanDuel and DraftKings can also operate iCasino services through their apps.

CT Sports Betting Running at Full Capacity
Connecticut sports betting is now at full capacity as online sports betting joins the state’s in-person offerings.

The Connecticut Lottery Corporation has yet to set a date for their in-person sports betting launch.
Here are the full opportunities for online and in-person sports in the state.
Mohegan Tribe: The Mohegan Tribe partnered with DraftKings to run its online and in-person sports betting options. A retail sportsbook will be located at the Mohegan Tribe-owned Mohegan Sun casino in Uncasville. The tribe will offer online sports betting through the DraftKings app.

The lottery corporation is researching potential locations for its sportsbooks. One location being considered is the XL Center in Hartford, formerly known as the Hartford Civic Center and arena for the now defunct NHL franchise Hartford Whalers. The XL Center is now home to the Hartford Wolf Pack, an AHL affiliate for the New York Rangers.
