Online sports betting finally began in Connecticut with a “soft launch” on Oct. 12.
The parameters of the soft launch include online sports wagering within the state of Connecticut only. It will not include live dealer or peer-to-peer online casino games.
Action is currently limited to 750 customers at each of the three sportsbooks, according to the state Department of Consumer Protection (DCP).
“We appreciate the hard work of our licensees and their teams, as well as the team at DCP, for their diligence in ensuring these platforms are compliant with the regulations approved by the legislature,” said DCP Commissioner Michelle H. Seagull. “As long as no issues arise, we have told the licensees they may move forward with the 7-day soft launch required in the regulations. Once the soft launch is complete, online gaming will open statewide.”
