The state announced Wednesday that they've collected around $1.7 million in revenue from the first month of legalized online gaming and sports betting.
Gov. Ned Lamont's office said in a press release that between the soft launch on October 12 through October 31, the state collected $513,000 from sports betting and $1.2 million from online casino gaming. That money will go into the state's general fund.
The state is due $13.75% of gross gaming revenue from sports betting and 18% from online gaming through 2026, when it then increases to 20%. The state does not collect from sports wagers that were placed on tribal land.
