Rush Street Interactive (RSI) has officially launched its PlaySugarHouse online sportsbook in Connecticut

Following a seven-day soft launch period, PlaySugarHouse – the official sportsbook of the Connecticut Lottery Corporation, will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week on all mobile devices, tablets, desktops and laptops for unlimited players aged 21 and older.

The sportsbook offers thousands of betting options on a variety of professional and college sports divisions including spreads, money-lines, props, futures, and same game parlays.

Richard Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer of RSI, commented: “We are very pleased to formally launch our award-winning online sportsbook across Connecticut following a smooth and successful trial period that demonstrated the safety and reliability of our platform. 

“We are especially excited to come to market as the NBA and NHL seasons commence and with the MLB playoffs and NFL and collegiate football seasons all underway. It is a great time for sports fans and we look forward to offering PlaySugarHouse and Connecticut Lottery players the best betting experience in the state.”

The mobile app contains several features to improve customer experience including live streaming content, unique bonusing and rewards programs and numerous deposit methods.

In addition, it contains safer gambling tools to remind players to limit their gambling habits including deposit, spending, and time limits.

“The CT PlaySugarHouse platform performed flawlessly during soft launch thanks to our partners at Rush Street Interactive. We are excited to open our online sportsbook to players statewide and are confident that they will enjoy the customer-friendly features of PlaySugarHouse.com,” added Rob Simmelkjaer, Chair of the Board of Directors of the Connecticut Lottery Corporation. 

“Our retail sportsbook launch should be right around the corner, also bringing a convenient experience for in-person players throughout the state.”
