Following a successful soft launch on December 27, the
Delaware Lottery today announced the launch of its first online
sportsbooks along with the relaunch of its three online casinos
(Delaware Park, Bally’s Dover Casino, and Harrington Raceway &
Casino), ushering in a new era of online gaming in the First State.
The new online casinos and online sportsbooks are powered by Rush
Street Interactive, Inc. (NYSE: RSI) (“RSI”), a leading US-based
gaming company that operates under the BetRivers brand. In addition
to the introduction of online sports betting in Delaware, the
State’s three casinos now offer a revamped array of exciting new
online casino games. Customers across Delaware, aged 21 and older,
can place bets on all mobile devices, tablets, desktop and laptop
computers.
“We are thrilled to begin this historic and
much-anticipated launch of the new online sportsbook and casino
with the Delaware Lottery and bring our award-winning product to
Delaware,” said Richard Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer of RSI.
“With our extensive offering of gaming content, wide range of
deposit and withdrawal methods, real-time cash-out approvals, and
best-in-class customer service, Delaware customers are going to
love the convenience of wagering on their favorite sports, slots,
and table games from anywhere in the state.”
The online sportsbook, powered by BetRivers,
offers bettors a wide array of wagering options on professional and
collegiate leagues, games, and players, including spreads,
moneylines, player props, futures, same game parlays, and more, all
delivered through an engaging and easy-to-use website and app.
Selected through a public RFP process earlier
this year, RSI will provide state-of-the-art online gaming for the
Delaware Lottery for an initial term of 5 years, with extensions at
the discretion of Delaware Lottery. The Delaware Park and
Harrington Casino & Raceway sites are accessible through the
BetRivers multi-state app and website while Bally’s Dover Casino
offers its own standalone app and website.
“RSI’s successes in other jurisdictions,
including neighboring New Jersey and Pennsylvania, are impressive,
along with the company’s overall reputation and experience,” said
Helene Keeley, Director of the Delaware Lottery. “RSI’s commitment
to responsible gaming, quality products, breadth of gaming content
and customer service are key reasons we are so excited to partner
with them. “
“We are honored to collaborate with the Delaware
Lottery team and the state’s three casinos to offer consumers in
Delaware a safe, convenient, and innovative online entertainment
experience,” added Mr. Schwartz. “The launch into Delaware builds
on our proven track record of success in the Mid-Atlantic Region of
Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey, where RSI has shown that
online casinos and sportsbooks complement each other, and we
continue to set new records.”
Delaware was the first U.S. state to
successfully launch intrastate iGaming in 2013 including online
slots, blackjack and video poker following the passage of the
Delaware Gaming Competitiveness Act of 2012 by the General
Assembly.
“We have no doubt that Delawareans will enjoy
the ability to play their favorites slot titles on their mobile
phones, as well as back their favorite teams,” Ms. Keeley
continued. “Together RSI and the Delaware Lottery are devoted to
successfully delivering best-in-class products and services to our
customers.”
