Rivers Casino Philadelphia, by partnering with Rush Street Interactive (RSI), will be linking BetRivers.com online casino with the popular River Casino Pittsburgh online sportsbook. After the online casino is linked to the online sportsbook, gamblers in Pennsylvania will be able to place online and mobile wagers immediately across a wide range of slots and table games.
Both the online casino and the sportsbook products will share the same wallets and accounts, making it easy for people to place their wagers. To make things even more convenient for them, they will be able to switch between the online casino and sportsbook without any issues from their phones and other devices such as tablets and computers.
River Casino Pittsburgh currently does not have an online casino license, which is why the new online casino is operating under the gaming license of River Casino Philadelphia. Under PA gaming law, multiple brands are allowed under one gaming license, but multiple sportsbooks are not allowed.
Players in Pennsylvania can now enjoy a wide range of exciting casino games, thanks to the move from BetRivers and Rush Street Interactive. These games include tables games like blackjack, baccarat, and roulette, in addition to a huge library of slot games that include Double Ruby™ and Atomic Meltdown™ slots from Everi, which are the crowd favorites.
The slot game library is quickly expanding to include more options for players. Additional game vendors are also in the process of receiving the required approvals to launch their game libraries in the state.
iRush Rewards program, which is commonly considered as one of the most generous and best loyalty programs in the industry today, will be available for the gamers in Pennsylvania.
BetRivers.com offers the fastest bonus-to-cash conversion rate among its competitors. Moreover, new players have a welcome offer of a $250 match that has just a one-time playthrough. This means that any winnings from that player’s free play is real cash and can be withdrawn instantly, just like in a real brick and mortar casino.
Commenting on the company’s latest move, president of Rush Street Interactive (RSI), Richard Schwartz, said that they wanted to launch their award-winning online casino platform before the Super Bowl. And RSI, through one of its brands, PlaySugarHouse.com, has seen that sportsbook players also enjoy full-casino services, such as table games.
Schwartz said:
We are proud to now offer more betting action and excitement by adding the online casino at BetRivers.com. The unique full-service casino on PlaySugarHouse.com in PA, which launched in July using the same platform, has achieved market share of greater than 40% in Q4 of last year, and we expect players will similarly enjoy the BetRivers.com experience.
Through PlaySugarHouse.com, Rush Street Interactive has increased its market shares in Pennsylvania and New Jersey significantly. According to Schwartz, this is mostly because of the “quality of the user experience” and the time that the company invests in listening to their customers to know what they really want to improve their experiences in both the online casino and online sportsbook offerings. On top of this, Schwartz said that the fast payouts and responsive customer service help.
