What did Connecticut online casinos pay back?
Connecticut's two largest online casino licensees paid back 96.17% of wagers from October 2025 to September 2026, calculated as patron winnings divided by wagers:
| Licensee | Wagers | Patron winnings | Payout rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPI Master Wagering License CT, LLC | $10.97 billion | $10.58 billion | 96.39% |
| Mohegan Digital, LLC | $10.88 billion | $10.43 billion | 95.94% |
| Both | $21.85 billion | $21.01 billion | 96.17% |
Our calculation from the Department of Consumer Protection dataset, updated October 17, 2026. The dataset names licensees, not brands. Connecticut allows one online casino license for each of the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribes, and reports pair them with DraftKings and FanDuel. The two on-reservation licensees are much smaller and are left out.
How much does the payout rate change month to month?
Only a little at this scale. MPI Master Wagering's monthly rate ran from 95.73% in August 2026 to 97.13% in November 2025. Mohegan Digital's ran from 95.57% in March 2026 to 96.21% in October 2025. Over billions of dollars in bets, results settle close to the average.
Is the payout rate the same as RTP?
No. RTP belongs to one game. A casino's payout rate mixes every game its players chose, from slots to blackjack, so it reflects what people played as much as the games' maths. Connecticut's wagers also include promotional credits that players bet. Check the RTP of the game you play, and see house edge explained.
Does a 96% payout rate mean you get back $96 of every $100?
Only on average across all players and a very large amount of betting. "Wagers" count every bet, including winnings bet again, so total wagers are far larger than deposits. A single player can lose a whole deposit in a casino with a 96% payout rate. See the RTP calculator to estimate your own cost.
How much does the state take?
Connecticut takes a share of gross gaming revenue, after a capped deduction for promotional credits. The dataset notes give the rate as 18% until September 2026 and 20% after that.
