State lawmakers are considering a multipart bill that overhauls parts of the state’s gambling regulations.
House Bill 5284 includes new rules for how sports betting and other games can be marketed, and expands the ability of Connecticut bettors to legally wager on in-state college sports, including UConn basketball and football games.
Current state statutes only allow wagers on games involving Connecticut college teams when they’re in a tournament consisting of four or more teams, meaning fans can bet during competitions like the recent NCAA March Madness tournament, but not on most regular season games.
