Market Notes

  • Handle and growth: Connecticut generated $2.37 billion in total sports betting handle for calendar year 2025 (up modestly from 2024). Early 2026 volumes have been steady (e.g., March 2026 reached $217 million), showing signs of slight growth in a mature, limited-operator market.
  • Market split: Mobile accounts for 97%+ of handle across the three authorized operators. Retail remains very limited at the two tribal casinos (Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun).
  • Hold and tax: Statewide hold has averaged 8–9% recently. The state receives 13.75% of gross gaming revenue (split between tribes and state), generating roughly $27–$28 million in state revenue for 2025. Funds support education, general revenue, and problem-gambling programs.
  • Compact note: The market remains restricted to three operators: DraftKings (Mashantucket Pequot / Foxwoods), FanDuel (Mohegan Sun), and Fanatics (Connecticut Lottery). Negotiations continue on potential compact amendments to allow additional competition, but no major changes have been approved yet.
