Connecticut's licensed gambling market is a stable tribal/lottery duopoly generating strong revenue growth, but this cycle is defined by an aggressive, coordinated enforcement campaign against unlicensed prediction-market platforms and a major consumer-restitution order against a licensed operator.

The licensing framework itself remains unchanged, but the regulatory perimeter around unlicensed and grey-market products has tightened sharply.
