Months
Rush Street Interactive, Inc. (NYSE: RSI) (“RSI” or the
“Company”), a leading online casino and sports betting company in
the United States, today announced that it is entering the Canadian
market with the launch of its social gaming platform, CASINO4FUN®,
in the province of Ontario. The free-to-play online casino and
sportsbook is available now on all mobile devices, tablets, desktop
and laptop computers for Ontarians aged 19 and older at
BetRivers.net.
CASINO4FUN® is powered by the same proprietary technology behind
RSI’s real-money platform and offers players in Ontario the
comprehensive range of gaming options for which RSI is known in the
United States and Latin America. The innovative online casino
includes over 350 of the latest slot machines and table games as
well as unique loyalty and bonusing features, while the online
sportsbook gives sports fans the opportunity to experience
single-game betting and parlays on numerous leagues worldwide.
“Our expansion into Canada represents an exciting new frontier
for RSI and continues our growth across the Americas,” said Richard
Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer of RSI. “CASINO4FUN® offers our
community of players the same high level of entertainment and
customer service of RSI’s real-money gaming platform, delivered in
a casual and free-to-play setting. We look forward to providing a
truly differentiated gaming experience for players in Ontario that
is focused on fostering player trust and enjoyment.”
RSI expects to launch real-money online casino and sports
betting in Ontario under its BetRivers brand in the coming months,
subject to licensing and regulatory approvals. In the meantime,
CASINO4FUN® will enable the Company to build its brand and player
database and promptly provide these players access to complete the
registration process for the BetRivers real-money platform upon
launch.
Canada is now the third country where RSI operates real-money or
social gaming. The Company is the fourth largest operator of online
casino and sports betting combined in the United States as of July
2021, per Eilers & Krejcik, and is highly regarded in Colombia,
where it was recently nominated as ‘Sportsbook of the Year’ and
‘Casino Operator of the Year’ at the SBC Latinoamérica Awards
2021.
