The provisional licenses will expire on Sept. 30 or whenever the state s more comprehensive licenses are issued, as part of the state s rollout of legalized sports betting and online gambling. They were issued to the Connecticut Lottery Corporation and the fantasy sports limited liability companies affiliated with the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribal nations.
