Regulatory Agencies

The Commission on Special Revenue introduced the lottery in Connecticut in 1972. The Division of Special Revenue (DOSR) operated the lottery until 1996 when the Connecticut Lottery Corporation (CLC), a quasi public state agency, was formed to conduct the lottery. DOSR regulated the CLC and all legal gaming until they merged with DCP, and became DCP's Gaming Division which now has those responsibilities.

Qualified non-profit organizations can raise funds from a variety of activities. Bingo was legalized in Connecticut in 1939. Bazaars and raffles were authorized in 1955 and sealed tickets in 1987. Beginning in 1972, non-profits could operate casino games during Las Vegas Night fundraisers, but that law was repealed in 2003.

As of January 2017, municipalities issue permits to non-profit organizations conducting these activities.
