“We wanted to launch our award-winning online casino platform prior to the Super Bowl,” said Richard Schwartz, president of Rush Street Interactive, which operates BetRivers.com and PlaySugarHouse.com. “Our experience in NJ and PA with PlaySugarHouse.com has validated that online sportsbook players also enjoy the full-services of our casinos, especially the table games.”

BetRivers.com casino debuts with an exciting portfolio of table games, such as blackjack, roulette and baccarat, as well as a fast-growing slot library currently live with over 60 slot games, including the player popular Double Ruby and Atomic Meltdown slots from Everi. More games will be added quickly as additional game vendors obtain the necessary approvals to launch their game libraries in the Commonwealth. Players will enjoy what is considered to be one of the premiere loyalty programs in the industry--the extremely generous iRush Rewards program. Gaming media, and more importantly, the players themselves on our other sites in PA and NJ at PlaySugarHouse.com, rate these rewards and the easy-to-earn bonus structure as the best in the industry for offering incredible value to casual, moderate, and experienced gamblers.

“Rush Street Interactive has grown market share in Pennsylvania and New Jersey on PlaySugarHouse.com, in large part due to the quality of the user experience and the time we’ve invested listening to what our players want to improve their experience in both the sportsbook and casino and by offering responsive customer service and fast payouts,” said Schwartz. “We are proud to now bring that same first class, award-winning interactive casino service to players at BetRivers.com in Pennsylvania.”
