The Connecticut Senate unanimously passed a bill to prevent third-party lottery courier services and online sweepstakes casinos from conducting business in the state.
Senate Bill 1235 (SB 1235), which the General Law Committee sponsored, passed on May 22 by 36-0 after the proposal was subject to a floor amendment. It proceeds to the House of Representatives, with the 2025 legislative session scheduled to close on June 4.
The new bill prohibits ticket courier services within the state of Connecticut and also forbids lottery ticket resales. This move follows a trend of increasing states targeting third-party lottery courier websites.
