CHICAGO and WASHINGTON, Sept. 24,
2021 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of Responsible Gaming
Education Week, Rush Street Interactive, Inc. (NYSE: RSI) ("RSI" or
the "Company"), a leading online casino and sports betting company
in the United States, today became the newest partner of the
American Gaming Association's (AGA) Have A Game
Plan.® Bet Responsibly.™ public service
campaign.
The Have A Game Plan campaign focuses on educating sports
fans about the core principles of responsible sports betting:

knowing the odds, and playing with trusted, regulated operators.

A Game Plan content into its consumer marketing, employee
training, and overall responsible gaming strategy.
"Responsible gaming is at the core of our business and joining
AGA's Have A Game Plan campaign is an important extension of
these efforts," said Tammi Barlow,
RSI director of corporate social responsibility. "It is crucial
that our industry prioritizes the protection of those who are
vulnerable to gambling problems and others affected by their
behavior. Through this partnership with AGA, we will continue to
provide our players with new, user-friendly tools and resources to
wager responsibly, while ensuring our employees are positioned to
provide the best possible customer service and care."
RSI's commitment to Have A Game Plan follows the
Company's recent build out of its compliance and corporate social
responsibility function and ongoing deployment of innovative
responsible gaming tools within its products, such as its RushPay
feature that enables fast, transparent, and non-cancellable
withdraw and refund capabilities.
"As legal sports betting increases in popularity and
availability, the success of the industry relies heavily on
educating players about responsible gaming," said Casey Clark, AGA senior vice president. "We're
proud to have Rush Street Interactive join us in this important
endeavor."
As the market continues to expand, Have A Game Plan is
aligning new and existing industry stakeholders behind a consistent
responsible gaming message. RSI joins official campaign partners
Monumental Sports and Entertainment, NASCAR, New York Jets, NHL,
PGA TOUR, SeventySix Capital, Sinclair Broadcast Group, UFC, Vegas
Golden Knights, and Washington Football Team, as well as other
