US.- Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont has openly backed legal sports betting and online gambling as a way of responding to the coronavirus-induced economic crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking during his State of the State address earlier this week, the Governor said Connecticut should work with neighbouring states and tribes to form a legal sports betting and online gambling market in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Sports betting, internet gaming and legalised marijuana are happening all around us. Let\u2019s not surrender these opportunities to out-of-state markets or even worse, underground markets,” Lamont said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Neighbouring states such as New Jersey<\/a><\/em><\/strong> and Rhode Island<\/a><\/em><\/strong> have shed some light on the incomes that states can take advantage of within the framework of a legal sports betting market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While New York allows casinos to offer legal sports betting, it does not yet have a legal online market, although Governor Andrew Cuomo<\/a><\/em><\/strong> has finally expressed support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
