After the soft launch of online sports betting in the American state of Connecticut back in October<\/a>, it appears that the initial phase of the regulated gambling rollout project has been a success. Around 1.2 million transactions<\/a> were recorded in Connecticut during the first week of regulated online sports gambling, pushing the state ahead of many other, better-established gambling jurisdictions for the same time period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The public response to the soft launch was an immense one. Surges in public interest from within the state, and from beyond its borders, saw Connecticut climb high on nationwide rankings. Even before the full rollout began, Connecticut had reached ninth place on the list of states with the highest rate of online sports betting traffic. This meant Connecticut placed ahead of Colorado in October \u2014 despite Colorado having a significantly greater population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Early analysis suggests that Connecticut’s position on the Eastern Seaboard has made it a prime location for regulated online sports betting and online casino gambling. Located next to New York, Connecticut is well within reach of gamblers within the nearby Empire State, who currently do not have a regulated sports betting industry in their own state. Traditionally, New Yorkers have looked to New Jersey to provide them with iGaming and betting options. Now, Connecticut offers another alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBuilding Upon Interest from Neighboring New York<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
