On the fateful day of December 3, 2025, the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection issued a cease-and-desist order with all the drama of a Victorian melodrama. The crime? Offering “sports event contracts” that, horror of horrors, resemble unlicensed sports wagers. Only DraftKings, FanDuel, and Fanatics, it seems, are pure enough to operate in this hallowed state. 🏆
