Online sports betting is currently legal in Connecticut after the state was among the first to take up legislation for the framework of legalizing sports betting in 2017. State legislators successfully passed a bill that required the Commissioner of Consumer Protection to take up new regulations if federal laws allowed for sports betting in Connecticut, which it did when the Supreme Court overturned PASPA later that year.
A later 2018 sports bill was put forward and that legislation later morphed into the February 2020 twin sports betting bills that opened the pathway for the online sports deal between the state and the tribal casinos in 2021. The plan passed in May 2021 with the first online and retail locations opening in October of that year.
