    Connecticut sports betting updates

    In 2021, Connecticut legislators approved a gaming compact between the two gaming tribes and the state.

    Online sports betting is operational across the Nutmeg State, with players free to register and wager with three authorized Connecticut sportsbooks.

    Review this timeline for a quick summary of Connecticut's sports betting history:

    Nov. 24, 2022: Sports betting in Connecticut registered an increase for October, when its three regulated operators generated $164.2 million.

    Oct. 18, 2022: The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection reveals a Connecticut September sports betting handle of $130.5 million.

    Sept. 16, 2022: Connecticut generates over $80 million in total sports betting handle in August. FanDuel leads the way with a handle of over $35 million.

    June 16, 2022: Connecticut posts a May sports betting handle of $646.1 million.

    May 25, 2022: Mohegan Sun and Yale University partner to test and develop a mobile app that would act as a treatment model for gambling addiction.

    Feb. 10, 2022: The permanent Mohegan Sun FanDuel retail sportsbook opens its doors to the public ahead of Super Bowl 56.

    Jan. 7, 2022: Hartford XL Center unveils plans for its in-arena sportsbook — the first of its kind in the northeast.

    Dec. 2, 2021: The Department of Consumer Protection's first sports betting revenue report reveals that $54.6 million in wagers were accepted in October.

    Nov. 13, 2021: The new two-story 12,000-plus square foot DraftKings Sportsbook at Foxwoods opens to the public.

    Oct. 19, 2021: Online sports wagering and internet casino gambling are greenlit by the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection.

    Oct. 12, 2021: The Connecticut Lottery Corporation, Meohan Tribe, and Mashantucket Pequot Tribe soft-launch online betting programs.

    Sept. 30, 2021: Retail sports betting in Connecticut launches at Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casinos. 

    May 2021: An agreement between the state government and Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribes is realized. Gov. Ned Lamont signs the tribal gaming compact, which is under review by federal officials.

    2020: Two sports betting bills, H.B. 5168 and S 21, are introduced but fail to progress. H.B. 5168 would have allowed the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan Indians, plus off-track betting operators, to operate Connecticut sportsbooks. Conversely, S 21 pertained to tribal arrangements. In addition to sports betting, the bill would have authorized online gaming and brought a casino in Bridgeport.

    2019: Sports betting is omitted from a special fall legislative session.

    2018: The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) strikes down the Professional Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), empowering each state to address online gambling and sports betting. 

    2017: Attempts to regulate sports betting in Connecticut begin with Public Act 17-209. This act enables the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) to expand oversight to the new industry and monitor federal activity surrounding sports betting.

    Why DraftKings is the best sportsbook in Connecticut

    With just three legal sportsbooks, the online Connecticut sports betting market isn’t exactly teeming with competition. Still, in 2023, DraftKings stands above the rest as the best sportsbook in the state.

    DraftKings mobile users have one of the best sports betting apps available to them — not only in Connecticut but in the U.S. Its intuitive interface and relentlessly reliable performance make for a highly positive experience. Customers will find they have access to everything they need within the app, including the ability to make deposits, claim ongoing bonuses and promos, and easily withdraw their winnings.

    In addition to its excellent mobile platform, DraftKings offers its customers plenty of bonuses and promotions to parse through. In particular, users will find the sportsbook arguably provides the top free-to-play contests in the industry. Right now, the sportsbook is also issuing a special welcome offer — bet $5, get $200 in free bets — that's sure to perk up the ears of sports fans. Users can simply deposit and place a wager of at least $5 on any sports market to receive $200 in free bets on top of any extra winnings. The bonus only lasts until Feb. 12, 2023.

    DraftKings CT has tons of features, including same-game parlays, live streaming, and live betting. With an exhaustive list of betting markets, you’ll never run out of events to wager on. To learn more about the sportsbook, read our detailed DraftKings Sportsbook review.

    Best offers and bonuses in Connecticut

    Although the Connecticut sports betting market is still in its infantile stages, it could very well grow into one of the most profitable in the U.S. As things stand, here are the best Connecticut sports betting promos we recommend for new users in 2023:


    FanDuel - Bet $5, Get $150 in Bonus Bets: New FanDuel Connecticut users will receive $150 in bonus bets if they place a qualifying wager of at least $5 on any sports market. The outcome of the wager has no bearing on whether or not you'll receive the reward.


    SugarHouse - Up to $500 in Free Bets: Users new to SugarHouse Connecticut can use promo code SPORTS to claim up to $500 in free bets. This means that, should you lose your initial wager, SugarHouse will refund the stake as free bets, up to $500.


    DraftKings - Bet $5, Get $200 in Free Bets: Despite being one of the top sportsbooks in the U.S., DraftKings' sign-up bonus of a bet $5, get $200 in free bets offer comes in third on our list. New users can sign-up, deposit, and wager $5 or more to get $200 in free bets once the wager settles. The offer expires Feb. 12, 2023.

    Terms and conditions apply to all bonuses and promotional offers.

    globe Within state borders

    Connecticut and other states utilize geolocation tracking software to verify your precise location. While no CT residency requirement is in place, you must be physically present within the state's borders to place any wagers.

    bank Retail sportsbooks

    Retail sports betting operations at Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casinos are underway. The Connecticut State Lottery will operate up to 15 brick-and-mortar sportsbooks, two of which must be based in Bridgeport and Hartford.

    percent Taxable winnings

    Connecticut sports betting revenue is taxed at 13.75%.

    The tribal nations and the Connecticut Lottery, holders of the three state-issued licenses, will be taxed on gross revenues. Each company will pay an 18 percent tax for online gaming revenues during the first five years of operation, which creeps up to 20 percent in the years after.

    The pros and cons of CT sports betting

    Connecticut's efforts to formally legalize and implement online sports gambling have come to fruition. The decision to launch fully remote online wagering was made following a successful soft launch period of online betting. Currently, the proposal allows for up to 15 retail outlets operated by the state lottery, with two tribal nations holding the other two licenses.

    How to start betting in Connecticut

    Folks in Connecticut now have the ability to place their first bets online with legal Connecticut sports betting sites. Alternatively, in-person wagers can be made at retail CT sportsbooks.

    1

    Select a sportsbook

    Despite the limited number of authorized Connecticut betting sites, currently restricted to DraftKings, FanDuel, and SugarHouse, conducting independent research is helpful. Read several betting site reviews and identify the bonuses offered by each operator.

    2

    Register online

    CT sports bettors have the option to sign up from anywhere within state lines from their mobile devices. All prospective users are required to submit personal information and verify their identity.

    3

    Claim a bonus

    Online sports betting sites attract players with various promotions. CT sportsbooks have done the same, teasing risk-free bets and deposit matches for new customers.

    4

    Deposit funds

    Once registered, you'll have to add real money funds to your account before placing any wagers.

    Connecticut sports betting sites employ a combination of the following types of methods: PayPal, credit card, debit card, bank transfers, PayNearMe, and others. Check with your financial institution if there are any obstacles to leveraging one of these payment methods.

    5

    Choose your bet types

    CT bettors have access to the most in-demand or popular bet types, including moneylines, Over/Unders (totals), point spreads, parlays, teasers, futures, and live bets.

    6

    Start betting

    Different betting lines will influence your decision-making. Don't forget to shop around before placing your first legal wager.

    7

    Withdraw funds

    Processing times vary by the sportsbook, so check the terms and conditions or FAQs from each CT sportsbook. Keep in mind that fees may apply to any transaction, too.

    Reading the odds

    American odds are the default for betting odds found at Connecticut sportsbooks. The minus sign (-) designates favorites. Any number that follows indicates the amount you will have to wager to score $100 in winnings. In this example, -160 odds mean you need to risk $160 to win $100.

    Underdogs are identified by the plus sign (+). That number signifies the amount you will win for betting $100. Odds of +110 indicate a bet of $100, which would net you $110 if the underdog takes the victory.

    Use our odds converter if you wish to view odds as fractions or decimals.

    Connecticut college sports

    Betting on collegiate games is not prohibited at Connecticut sports betting sites, but restrictions include the inability to wager on in-state school teams. Bill 6451 prohibits bets on sporting events that have a team from Connecticut. However, bettors would be allowed to wager on tournaments that involve Connecticut teams, i.e., NCAA men’s or women’s basketball tournaments.

    What about esports?

    Connecticut's sports betting bill permits iGaming and betting on esports.

    Connecticut's Department of Consumer Protection published its first revenue report on Dec. 2, 2021. In October, its soft launch of sports betting resulted in $54.6 million in accepted bets from the state's three licensed operators.

    Other types of gambling

    Legalized online gambling is new to the Nutmeg State. Previously, Connecticut state gambling laws permitted in-person or retail betting at two tribes: Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan Indians, who operate Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun, respectively. Both opened their doors in the mid-1990s.

    casino Casino

    Foxwoods Resort Casino in Ledyard and Mohegan Sun in Uncasville operate on tribal lands by the Pequot Tribe and the Mohegan Tribe, respectively. Connecticut's two federally recognized tribes are in talks to open a jointly owned third casino in East Windsor.

    Both casinos offer the most popular games, like slots, blackjack, roulette, craps, and baccarat.

    Real money online casino gambling was authorized to launch on Oct. 19, in conjunction with the move to legalize online sports betting. Foxwoods and DraftKings launched a co-branded casino and sportsbook mobile app. Similarly, the Mohegan-FanDuel partnership includes a Mohegan Sun-branded website and mobile app for Connecticut online casino gaming.

    poker Poker

    Large poker rooms at both Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun comprise the retail component. Each has partnered with an online betting operator, meaning digital versions of their products will come online too.

    Horse and jockey Horse racing

    There are no longer any CT horse racetracks in operation, yet horse racing is legal in Connecticut. However, betting on horse racing through any of the newly authorized online betting sites is prohibited. Instead, online wagers for horse races across the U.S. and globe can be done via BetAmerica, TVG, or TwinSpires — the best horse racing betting sites in the country.

    Off-track betting (OTB) facilities throughout the state can offer online wagers under the terms of the new gaming agreement.

    Horse and jockey Daily fantasy sports

    Former Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy legalized daily fantasy sports (DFS) in 2017. DraftKings, FanDuel, and Yahoo serve as the three major operators.

    Connecticut sports betting conclusion

    The Connecticut sports betting landscape has one obvious rub: Its limited number of online sportsbooks. While CT does have a few of the best options out there for any state — FanDuel consistently finds itself dueling with Caesars for top-dog status — the fact remains that fewer options means fewer opportunities for bettors to try out and identify their preferred sites.

    Bettors do have access to 12 retail locations, though, even if the vast majority of them are through the Connecticut Lottery's partnership with SugarHouse. 

    With two of its three neighboring states — New York and Rhode Island — having also legalized sports betting, Connecticut's relatively restrictive market leaves room for growth.
