Summary

Connecticut runs a closed online market set by Public Act 21-23, now chapter 229b of the General Statutes, and regulated by the Gaming Division of the Department of Consumer Protection (DCP). There are only three master wagering licences. The Mashantucket Pequot Tribe and the Mohegan Tribe may each run one online casino skin, one online sportsbook skin and fantasy contests; the Connecticut Lottery Corporation runs one online sportsbook, up to 15 retail sportsbooks, online keno, online draw game sales and fantasy contests, but no online casino. The tribes operate with DraftKings and FanDuel and the Lottery with Fanatics. Online casino and sports betting opened statewide on 19 October 2021. Players must be 21 for casino and sports betting and 18 for fantasy, keno and online lottery, and must be in the state. Online casino revenue has been taxed at 20% since October 2026, up from 18% in the first five years, and sports wagering and fantasy at 13.75%. In the fiscal year to 30 June 2026, online casino gross gaming revenue was $645.5 million and online sports wagering $203.4 million, together 17.8% higher than a year earlier. Advertising rules sit in the statute, were tightened in 2024, 2025 and July 2026, and ban affiliate pay tied to sign-ups or wagers. Sweepstakes casinos have been illegal since 1 October 2025. The live issue is prediction markets: DCP has ordered ten platforms to stop offering sports contracts, a federal judge refused Kalshi and Coinbase injunctions in August 2026, the State is suing Kalshi, and the CFTC is suing the State.

Common pitfalls

Assuming the Lottery can offer online casino: it cannot. Assuming new operators can apply for their own licence: they can only contract with one of the three master licensees. Applying the 18% casino rate to periods from October 2026, which pay 20%. Paying affiliates per sign-up or on revenue share, which the statute bans. Taking bets on Connecticut college teams outside permitted tournaments.

DCP must report on prediction markets by 1 February 2027.

Frequently asked questions

Who can offer online casino in Connecticut?
