CT Online Betting Launch Soon, LA Casinos Await Licensing
$5,000 Welcome Bonus
Connecticut and Louisiana are the latest states to join the US's booming legal sports wagering market. The Mohegan Tribe and Mashantucket Pequot Tribal nation already launched retail wagerering earlier this month. Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana launched its offering last Wednesday.
Connecticut's soft launch of online sports betting will begin at 3pm local time on Tuesday. The launch will be limited to 12 hours a day until Thursday, then it will increase to 24 hours per day. For sports bets, the Mohegan Tribe has partnered with FanDuel and the Mashantucket Pequot has teamed up with DraftKings.
Louisiana's sports betting market was delayed by Hurricane Ida. Just 13 of the state's 20 commercial casinos have registered for licenses so far. The remaining seven are expected to apply before the January 1 deadline. Online wagering will take longer as the casinos use outside vendors.
