Rush Street Interactive, Inc. (NYSE: RSI) (“RSI”), a leading

The PlaySugarHouse online sportsbook features thousands of

sportsbook across Connecticut following a smooth and successful
trial period that demonstrated the safety and reliability of our
platform,” said Richard Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer of RSI.
“We are especially excited to come to market as the NBA and NHL
seasons commence and with the MLB playoffs and NFL and collegiate
football seasons all underway. It is a great time for sports fans
and we look forward to offering PlaySugarHouse and Connecticut
Lottery players the best betting experience in the state.”
“The CT PlaySugarHouse platform performed flawlessly during soft
launch thanks to our partners at Rush Street Interactive. We are
excited to open our online sportsbook to players statewide and are
confident that they will enjoy the customer-friendly features of
PlaySugarHouse.com,” said Rob Simmelkjaer, Chair of the Board of
Directors of the Connecticut Lottery Corporation. “Our retail
sportsbook launch should be right around the corner, also bringing
a convenient experience for in-person players throughout the
state.”

devices, Connecticut players will soon be able to place bets
in-person at one of 15 accessible PlaySugarHouse retail sportsbooks
across the state, including 10 Sportech Venues locations, subject
