• Date of Birth.
• Social Security Number (US residents) or government-issued ID (non-US residents).

Gambling Age Requirements in Connecticut

The legal gambling age is 21 for online and tribal casino-based gambling, including sports betting, and 18 for lottery, keno, and daily fantasy sports (DFS)(2). The DCP and tribal commissions enforce strict age verification for all platforms to prevent underage gambling.

CT Player Eligibility and Specific Restrictions

Anyone 21+ physically located in Connecticut can participate in online casino and sports betting, and those 18+ can participate in lottery, keno, and DFS, regardless of residency. US visitors with a valid ID are eligible. Restrictions include:

• No bets on high school sporting events.

CT Geolocation Requirements

Real-money online gambling requires players and their devices to be within the state of Connecticut. The DCP mandates the use of geolocation technology (GPS, Wi-Fi, IP tracking) among online gambling operators, enabling them to verify players’ locations on desktops, laptops, and mobile devices, thereby ensuring compliance on licensed platforms(5).

Different Forms of Legal Online Gambling Available in Connecticut

Connecticut’s online gambling, regulated under Public Act 21-23(6) and tribal compacts, includes real-money games of chance. Forms of online gambling, the primary being casino and sports, have been available online since October 2021(7):
