Statute is Public Act 21-23 and Conn.
Regulator is the DCP Gaming Division. Minimum age on that status is 21. The notes name two tribal master licensees: the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and the Mohegan Tribe. Poker is not the same status.

Sequence
How to check before you fund an account
Step 01
Open DCP legal gaming, not an ad
portal.ct.gov/dcp. The legal-gaming page is the casino gate. A sister brand missing from DCP is not a Connecticut licence.
Step 02
Match the nation, then the site
Master licensee is Mashantucket Pequot or Mohegan. A skin that is not on the DCP list fails.
Step 03
Do not treat poker as included
DCP’s poker article: authorized, no operators licensed. Close that tab if you wanted a poker room.

01Connecticut
Is online poker legal in Connecticut too?
Not as a live product in our file. The online poker status is legal, not launched. The statute includes poker, and DCP says Public Act 21-23 authorizes it, and the same note says no operators are licensed. A casino account is not a poker permit. See Legal online poker states.
Can I play a Connecticut casino app from another state?
No. Statewide live means physically in Connecticut. A session in New York, Massachusetts, or Rhode Island is a different status. Sports wagering is a separate live product under the same chapter. It does not create a poker roster.
02More questions people ask
Who regulates online casino in Connecticut?
DCP Gaming. The legal basis we recorded is: P.A. 21-23; Conn. Gen. Stat. Ch. 229b Status on October 13, 2026: live, minimum age 21. Use the regulator site, not an app store listing, to confirm.
How many licensed online casino operators are there in Connecticut?
Our regulator file lists 2 active online casino licence records for Connecticut as of our October 13, 2026 check. One company can run more than one brand, and a licence can be suspended between our checks. The DCP Gaming list is the source of truth; we do not rank the operators or link to them.
How many adults could legally bet in Connecticut?
The Census Bureau estimates 2,807,672 residents aged 21 or older in Connecticut (July 1, 2025). That is the adult population, not the number of bettors. Visitors can also play while physically inside state lines, because the rule is about location at the moment of the wager, not residence.
Who can run an online casino in Connecticut?
Only the Mashantucket Pequot (Foxwoods) and Mohegan tribes, each with one online casino skin, under Public Act 21-23. Online casino launched on October 19, 2021, regulated by the Department of Consumer Protection Gaming Division.
Is online poker live in Connecticut?
Not yet. The law covers peer-to-peer games, but no poker site has launched, so the status is legal but not live.
