Backed by two poker legends, Phil Hellmuth and Phil Galfond, BetRivers Poker Expands from Pennsylvania to the states of Michigan, Delaware, West Virginia

CHICAGO, June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rush Street Interactive, Inc. (NYSE: RSI) (“RSI”), a leading online casino and sports betting company in the United States and the rest of the Americas, today announced the launch of its proprietary online poker platform, BetRivers Poker, into Delaware, Michigan, and West Virginia. Following a successful debut in Pennsylvania last November, this multi-state expansion marks a major milestone: merging player pools across four states to create a larger, more competitive network. Players can now compete across state lines, resulting in bigger tournament prize pools, deeper cash-game fields, and more consistent action.

The launch of a unified cross-state player pool significantly enhances the BetRivers Poker experience,” said Richard Schwartz, CEO of RSI. “By expanding the network, we’ll bring more players to our tables, offer a wider variety of games, and raise the stakes with larger tournament prize pools. We’re thrilled to strengthen our poker footprint and deliver best-in-class competition and community-driven play across multiple states.”

RSI also plans to launch BetRivers Poker in New Jersey later this year. Additionally, the RSI platform remains integrated with Rivers Casinos in Pennsylvania, providing players with in-person poker opportunities and live events.

Built by Poker Players, for Poker Players

BetRivers Poker was developed with direct input from the poker community, led by poker pro and industry innovator Phil Galfond, who helped design the platform’s gameplay, features, and rewards.

“As poker players, we built this platform for the players – all of them,” said Galfond. “From brand-new poker players to seasoned pros, we focused on fairness, fun, unique features, and meaningful player rewards. I’ve been involved from day one to help shape BetRivers Poker into a platform that delivers the best possible player experience.”

Recently joining Galfond is 17-time WSOP champion and global poker icon Phil Hellmuth, who brings his larger-than-life personality and passion for the game to the BetRivers Poker brand. Hellmuth brings his competitive insight to the brand, amplifying reach and player engagement through media, live events, and digital content. “I’ve won more bracelets than anyone in history because I know how poker players think and BetRivers delivers what they want: real competition, big moments, and a championship experience,” said Hellmuth.

Innovative Features and Varied Formats

BetRivers Poker offers a comprehensive suite of game formats, including cash games, Sit & Go tournaments, and Multi-Table Tournaments (MTTs). Notable features include:

The innovative digital baseball card game, which leverages the thrill of prop bets, is a highly engaging and differentiated way to provide more opportunities to win and offer extra value to players at BetRivers Sportsbook

CHICAGO, May 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — After the tremendous success of NBA PropPacks, Rush Street Interactive, Inc. (NYSE: RSI) (“RSI”), which operates the BetRivers Sportsbook, is now bringing that same winning excitement to baseball fans with the launch of PropPacks for MLB, just in time for summertime action at the ballpark.

This innovative digital baseball card game brings the nostalgic thrill of opening a pack of sports cards and combines it with the high-energy excitement of prop betting. PropPacks for MLB offer BetRivers customers one of the most interactive and rewarding ways to engage with Major League Baseball action—all with the chance to win up to $1,000 in bonus credits or other exciting awards on every card.

Fans who place $10 or more on qualifying Same Game Parlays (SGPs) for MLB games will randomly receive up to three digital PropPacks player cards per game at no additional cost. Each card features a player from one or both teams in the game. If that player achieves the Hits or Strikeouts milestones featured on the card, bettors can win escalating prizes based on the difficulty of the achievement.

PropPacks come in three tiers—Bronze, Silver, and Gold—with Gold cards being the rarest and offering the highest reward potential. Unlocking a Gold card could lead to the grand prize of $1,000 in bonus credits.

In addition to PropPacks for MLB, BetRivers will offer a full lineup of baseball promotions throughout the season. Players can visit the BetRivers app or website and click on “Promotions” to explore the full suite of daily MLB offers.

“PropPacks for MLB are another BetRivers exclusive that demonstrates our commitment to delivering creative, engaging, and value-packed experiences to our players,” Schwartz added. “We’re excited to keep building on the success of NBA PropPacks and expand this fun format across more leagues and seasons.”

RSI’s GLAD Initiative In Partnership With IC360 Aims to Give Educators the Tools to help Teens Make Informed Decisions about Gaming

CHICAGO, May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rush Street Interactive (NYSE: RSI), in partnership with Integrity Compliance 360 (IC360), has launched a new initiative called Gaming Literacy Aiding Decisions (GLAD), an innovative program designed to assist educators in enhancing high school student gaming literacy and promoting that cohort’s responsible relationship with this ever more socially prevalent activity.

“Consumers today have more entertainment options than ever before, including within the gaming space,” said Richard Schwartz, RSI CEO. “We appreciate that this expanded landscape offers individuals more ways to fulfill their entertainment needs. As technology continues to evolve, entertainment options, such as online gambling, have become increasingly mainstream and accessible. Like any material societal change, this evolution requires thoughtful education and honest, open dialogue – particularly for youth who are coming of age in an environment where these choices are all around them. I’ve seen this first hand with young people in my own community. It’s clear that exposure is growing, and with it, the need for responsible frameworks.

At RSI, we believe our role as a leading online gambling operator goes beyond simply committing financial resources. We have a responsibility to seek out and create opportunities that empower young people with the knowledge and tools to make informed decisions—so that when the time comes, they can determine for themselves, with confidence and understanding, what relationship, if any, they wish to have with gambling products. This is why, in partnership with IC360, we developed GLAD—a curriculum designed to become a foundation in responsible gaming education for North American teens by helping inform their understanding of gambling and the importance of doing so responsibly.”   

“We are proud to partner with Rush Street Interactive, a company that has not only identified the need for gambling literacy among young people, but has also taken meaningful, proactive steps to lead the way in addressing the critical educational gap,” Eric Frank, Co-CEO and President of IC360 said. “Their demonstrable commitment to supporting educators and empowering students sets a new standard for creating informed and responsible attitudes towards gambling.”

The GLAD curriculum will initially launch in New Jersey and Delaware where, this spring, RSI and IC360 have been working with educational districts on a speaker series and educator curriculum delivery. These initial efforts will help define success metrics and gather feedback to shape the program’s future, which will ultimately be available to educators more broadly to curate the content that resonates best with students.
