Playtech is entering its sixth regulated US iGaming market after securing licence approval from the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection.

The Connecticut approval further accelerates Playtech’s US growth, strengthening multi‑state partnerships with licensed operators in the process. 

After launching in Delaware late last year, players in Connecticut will now have access to Playtech’s portfolio of iGaming content, including a combination of bespoke and exclusive titles.

“We are thrilled to expand our presence into a sixth US state,” said Playtech USA general manager Jonathan Doubilet “Connecticut is a well-established iGaming market with a vast player-base that we anticipate will engage strongly with our first-class offering. 

“It’s a source of pride that our most valued partners continue to place trust in us to reach the high standards the US iGaming market demands.”

Connecticut’s iGaming market generated total wagers of $1.77 billion in January, an increase of 10 per cent year-on-year, with monthly gross win from iGaming up by 19 per cent at $64.6 million.

Shares in Playtech plc (LSE:PTEC) were unchanged at 355.50 pence per share in London Thursday.
