Connecticut legalised online casino and sports betting in 2021, launching in October 2021. Only three master wagering licensees may offer them: the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe (Foxwoods), the Mohegan Tribe and the Connecticut Lottery Corporation (sports only). The DCP confirms three licensed sports platforms (DraftKings, FanDuel, Fanatics); DraftKings and FanDuel also offer online casino through the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribes.
