With Connecticut on the cusp of sports betting, three operators are preparing for soft launches.

The state’s Department of Consumer Protection confirmed Tuesday that DraftKings, BetFair (FanDuel) and Rush Street Interactive have all submitted proposals for how they plan to conduct a soft launch in Connecticut.

No date has been announced for when that soft launch might take place, but all three filed the 10-day notice by law and a seven-day soft launch period is projected to start around Sept. 30. The official live date is expected to be Oct. 7.

Just last week, Paul Mounds, chief of staff to Gov. Ned Lamont, said that live sports betting would begin on Oct. 7.

If Connecticut makes its target date, residents would be able to bet on the Week 5 NFL games.

UConn men’s college basketball is set to begin its regular season on Nov. 9 as the Huskies start a four-game homestand against Central Connecticut State.

Online casinos will likely take a little longer to launch in Connecticut. In addition to their sportsbooks, DraftKings Casino and FanDuel Casino will offer online casino games in the state.

Where To Bet In Connecticut

Bettors will have three options to place their wagers once Connecticut launches its sports betting operations.

FanDuel Sportsbook is partnered with the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville. DraftKings Sportsbook has partnered with Foxwoods in Mashantucket. Rush Street Interactive reached a deal with the Connecticut Lottery to enter the market. Rush Street operates Sugarhouse Sportsbook, which is expected to be the brand in Connecticut. It also has the BetRivers brand.

An early October launch would conclude what has been a quick turnaround from when Lamont signed sports betting and online casino gaming into law on May 27. The Department of Consumer Protection then set the rules and started the application process for operators. Meanwhile,…

Flo Rida will perform at The Big E Arena on Sept. 25. Flo Rida first dominated the airwaves with his 2007 breakout single, “Low” featuring T-Pain, off his debut studio album “Mail on Sunday”. The mega hit was Number 1 on the Billboard charts for 10 weeks and broke the record for digital download sales at the time of its release. His catalogue of international hit singles and Billboard chart-toppers also boasts the massive club hit “Round,” which introduced the world to Kesha, “Whistle,” “Good Feeling,” “Wild Ones” featuring Sia, “My House,” and many more.

The opening act will be the Ying Yang Twins, who rose to prominence after forming in 2000 and releasing a slew of party anthems and club hits including “Salt Shaker,” “Wait (The Whisper Song),” “Badd” and more. The duo was featured on Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz hit single “Get Low,” which reached Number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

TSO’s Music Director & lead guitarist Al Pitrelli said, “After an incredibly trying year for everyone we are beyond excited to be able to say that we’re bringing Christmas Eve and Other Stories back to all of you.
