Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment has tapped FanDuel as its sports betting partner in Connecticut. Fanduel will provide online and mobile sports bets and daily fantasy sports in the state and operate a physical sportsbook at MGE's flagship casino, Mohegans Sun. The company expects to launch its digital and retail products in state this coming fall. In March, Gov. Lamont and Connecticut’s two federally recognized tribes – the Mogegans and the Mashantucket Pequots – signed a ten-year gambling compact that authorized the two tribes to conduct sports betting and online casino activities.

Mohegan Sun will open a temporary FanDuel Sportsbook while a permanent facility is under construction. The temporary venue will have four betting windows and 16 self-service betting terminals. It is expected to open this winter. MGE earlier this year debuted its first Las Vegas gambling venue – Moheghan Sun Casino at Virgin Hotels Las Las Vega. The casino operator announced its partnership with the hospitality business of British tycoon Richard Branson in September 2019.
