On the eve of the Final Four, the Connecticut Lottery Corporation (CLC) is searching for a new partner to run its sports betting operations by the second half of 2023.
Rush Street Interactive (RSI) and the CLC announced plans on Monday to wind down their online and in-person sports betting partnership later this year, according to a joint statement. Rush Street Interactive, the parent company of SugarHouse Sportsbook and BetRivers, maintains one of three online betting skins in the Connecticut market. The departure of RSI may trigger an intense bidding process for the right to power the lottery’s sports betting operations.
