Connecticut sports betting and online gaming regulations have gained approval from the state’s Legislative Regulation Review Committee (LRRC).
The committee voted 9-4 today in favor of approving 82 pages of regulations related to the pending emergence of legal sportsbooks, both online and in-person, plus governing rules for online casino gambling.
The four “no” votes were all from Republicans who voiced concerns regarding iGaming funding. The dissenting group called for emergency stipulations that would allow sports betting to move forward in time for the NFL season, but require the committee to revisit certain conditions at a later date.
Democratic members, however, voted to ratify the regulatory package. Now, all that remains before people inside Connecticut can bet on sports is final approval from the US Department of the Interior (DOI).
