It was not only a busy September for online casino and sports wagering operators in Connecticut, it was also a lucrative one.
The state’s Department of Consumer Protection on Tuesday reported record gross revenue totals for both gaming disciplines in September, with online casino gaming seeing a notable surge in play and sportsbooks furthering the nationwide pounding of the betting public.
The $943.5 million in online casino bets for September made August’s record of $851.9 million a short-lived one. That contributed to a record $24.3 million in gross revenue, which easily cleared the previous mark of $22.8 million established in April. After promotional credits and other deductions, the nearly $19 million in adjusted revenue also set a new standard, edging out the $18.8 million from January.
