Hacksaw Gaming and FanDuel Extend Their Partnership Into Connecticut With a First-Time Slot Launch
Hacksaw Gaming has extended its partnership with FanDuel into Connecticut, bringing its slot portfolio to players in the state for the first time. The launch marks another step in the supplier’s US expansion, building on an earlier deal that saw Hacksaw titles go live in Pennsylvania in July 2025.
Hacksaw Gaming’s Connecticut launch opens another US market
Connecticut is one of a small group of US states with a regulated online casino market, and entry is gated by local licensing. Each new state is a separate approval rather than a single national switch.
For Hacksaw, going live here adds another locally licensed US market and extends its reach through one of the country’s largest operators.
Inside the Hacksaw and FanDuel Connecticut partnership
The deal brings Hacksaw’s slot titles to FanDuel players in Connecticut for the first time. FanDuel’s casino offering is available across five states: Connecticut, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Connecticut now joins that footprint.
The move follows Hacksaw securing its Connecticut Online Gaming Service Provider licence from the state’s Department of Consumer Protection in March 2026, which paved the way for its entry into the locally licensed market.
What the Connecticut deal signals for Hacksaw’s US expansion
The operator read is straightforward. Hacksaw is building its US presence one licence and one market at a time, and FanDuel keeps returning to widen its content shelf.
Marcus Cordes, Operational CEO of Hacksaw Gaming, called the launch “a fantastic milestone for Hacksaw Gaming and another important step in our US expansion.” He pointed to the existing relationship as the foundation for the move: “FanDuel is one of the biggest names in American online gaming, and we’ve developed a great relationship with the team. Building on our successful partnership together in Pennsylvania, we’re delighted to be bringing our games to Connecticut players and continuing to grow our presence in the US.”
How the Connecticut launch fits Hacksaw’s wider US strategy
The release sets out the markets and licensing behind the move rather than commercial terms, the number of titles going live, or performance figures from Pennsylvania.
The scale of the opportunity rests on factors the announcement does not cover, including the size of Connecticut’s online casino market and how Hacksaw’s content performs against an established local field.
Hacksaw Gaming’s US growth outlook after Connecticut
Connecticut joins Pennsylvania as a confirmed Hacksaw and FanDuel market, taking the slot supplier into another corner of FanDuel’s five-state casino footprint. With the other FanDuel states standing as natural expansion targets, the licence-first approach suggests further US markets will follow as approvals are secured.
