Connecticut gambling legislation

2026 Regular Session ended May 6, 2026 · Bill data as of Oct 11, 2026 from Open States · Connecticut overview

AI outlook · Oct 11, 2026

Connecticut enacted SB296, a Department of Consumer Protection package touching the unfair trade practices act and sports wagering. A bill to bar prediction market platforms from serving or advertising to anyone under 21 (HB5038) died, as did several 2025 lottery and in-flight sports wagering bills.

What to watch: The 2026 session ended in May, so nothing is pending until the 2027 session in January. Prediction market limits and lottery winner privacy bills are likely to be refiled.
