DraftKings Launches Sportsbook at Foxwoods Resort Casino

DraftKings and the Mashantucket Pequot Nation are joining forces to introduce sports wagering to Connecticut. The inaugural brick-and-mortar sportsbook will debut at Foxwoods Resort Casino on September 30th. You can make wagers at a temporary DraftKings sportsbook situated within the Rainmaker Casino’s Ultimate Race Book, or at one of the numerous betting terminals dispersed throughout the resort.

The state of Connecticut recently authorized both sports betting and online gambling through new accords with the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe and the Mohegan Tribe. The Mashantucket Pequot Tribe’s accord was finalized in March, following a similar agreement with the Mohegan Tribe. The legislation was signed into law in May.

Under these agreements, the tribes and the state lottery can provide sports betting, while the two tribes will possess exclusive rights to online casinos.

Online sports wagering and online gambling are anticipated to commence outside of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe’s territory in early October, subject to regulatory approval.
