Connecticut Online Casinos

Legal online gambling has come to Connecticut.

The first Connecticut online casinos launched in October 2021 after the state renegotiated its gaming compacts with two tribal casino operators and passed the accompanying legislation to regulate online gambling.

Legal Connecticut casino sites accept customers 21 or older and physically present within state lines. Currently, DraftKings and Mohegan Sun Casino by FanDuel hold a duopoly over Connecticut online gambling.

Legal Connecticut Casino Sites

Two gambling sites operate in Connecticut today via partnerships between DraftKings, FanDuel, and tribal gaming operators.

The Mashantucket Pequot (Foxwoods Casino) partnered with DraftKings, and the Mohegan Tribe (Mohegan Sun) partnered with FanDuel to offer real money online casino games and sports betting.

As a result, Connecticut gamblers can visit either of the following gambling sites or download their associated mobile casino apps to play online safely and legally.

Although Connecticut is a limited online gambling market with just two licensed casino sites, both offer sizable bonuses to new customers. Each Connecticut casino bonus is unique, but both provide significant value to players.

Connecticut Online Gambling Law

Legal online gambling came to Connecticut through several phases, beginning with the state renegotiating its gaming compacts with the Mohegans and Mashantucket Pequots. Ultimately, the compact authorized each tribe to operate one Connecticut casino online.

Later, lawmakers passed HB 6451 to outline the basic rules governing online gambling in Connecticut. The law grants regulatory and rulemaking power to the Department of Consumer Protection, which has approved additional regulations and technical standards since.
