The best promo codes and deposit bonuses available at CT sportsbooks.
Being one of the most restrictive states in the country might not endear Connecticut to sportsbooks on the outside, but for FanDuel, DraftKings and SugarHouse, the decision to keep things right and tight is fine by them. And sports bettors don’t seem to mind the lack of options, with Connecticut routinely reaching nine figures in monthly handle. Here's a look at the top sports betting bonuses available to Connecticut-based players.
New users to FanDuel are eligible for a No Sweat First Bet of up to $1,000 in bonus bets. All you have to do is sign up and make a first deposit of at least $10. If your first bet loses, FanDuel will give you bonus bets equal to the amount of the first bet. The bonus bets will expire 14 days after being issued.
New customers with DraftKings can place an initial deposit and wager of $5 or more on any pre-game moneyline to receive $150 in bonus bets should they win. The reward will be delivered as six (6) $25 bonus bets that are non-withdrawable, non-transferable, non-refundable, and will expire after seven days.
The offer is available until May 28, 2023.

You usually see either a risk-free bet or a deposit match as a welcome bonus at most sportsbooks. SugarHouse goes with a deposit match up to $250, which is nice as it gives you free money to play with instead of risk-free bets that only award you if your first bet is graded a loser. All SugarHouse bonuses have a 1X wagering requirement.

It will come as no surprise to see a rather extensive list of major professional and amateur sports available to Connecticut bettors; here are the marquee sports on which CT residents can wager:
As is the case with the other legislated states, Connecticut bettors load up on NFL wagers every year. From betting on NFL preseason spreads and totals to filling betting cards with Super Bowl wagers at season's end, the five-month NFL calendar is the most profitable for every CT sportsbook.
On one hand, Connecticut residents and visitors have access to an immense range of college football markets, including moneylines, spreads, totals and in-game options across dozens of matchups each week. But CT natives are not permitted to bet on teams based within state borders.
You have to credit sportsbooks for improving their creativity level when it comes to NBA betting markets. Connecticut residents have more options than ever when it comes to satisfying their hardcourt wagering needs – including newer plays like who will score the first basket, and how.
The ban on wagering on in-state collegiate teams prevents Connecticut bettors from putting money on seven different teams, including the UConn Huskies and the Yale Bulldogs. Fortunately, bettors can still offer action on any other NCAA hoops team, which is particularly meaningful for March Madness.
Football is over. Basketball has just ended. What is a Connecticut bettor to do? Invest in Major League Baseball, that's what. Baseball markets are plentiful across most major sportsbooks, with moneylines, run lines and totals complimented nicely by wagers like individual home-run props.
Connecticut is an underrated hockey hotbed – so it should come as no surprise to see CT's NHL handle as a higher percentage of the total than other legislated states. From preseason futures markets to Stanley Cup in-game options, bettors can satiate their stick and puck fix all year long.
You don't need to be an expert duffer to crush your golf bets. And Connecticut wagerers have plenty of options at their disposal, with the state's three mobile sports betting operators offering an astounding number of markets for the PGA Tour as well as options for the LPGA, European Tour and others.
Whether you dabble in soccer betting or get up early every Saturday and Sunday morning to catch the best European soccer leagues, Connecticut sportsbooks have you covered. Bet on which team will win, who will score and when, and even which team will amass the most corner kicks or yellow cards.
Like most states, Connecticut’s state gaming authority has put safeguards in place to ensure that bettors have a way out of any potential trouble spots.
The Connecticut Council on Problem Gaming is dedicated to reducing gambling related harm and helping those who may be negatively impacted by gambling. Players can also set deposit and bet limits of their choosing through the mobile apps.
