Legal betting on flights that start or end at Connecticut airports would be made possible by a bill that was filed in Connecticut. In the United States, this proposal is the first of its kind. The bill's language states that 1% of the proceeds from in-flight sports betting would go toward supporting public education in the state's rural and urban school districts.
The bill follows the announcement of an agreement between DraftKings and Delta Airlines that would permit bettors to use the DraftKings app while flying. Although it's illegal to wager on flights, that deal might allow bettors to earn Delta points through DraftKings.
