CHICAGO, March 31,
2022 /CNW/ - Today, Rush Street Interactive,
Inc. (NYSE: RSI) ("RSI") is proud to announce it has become the
first U.S.-based online casino and sports betting company to
receive RG Check iGaming Accreditation from the Responsible
Gambling Council (RGC) for its BetRivers.com and
PlaySugarHouse.com sites. RG Check is regarded as the world's most
comprehensive and rigorous responsible gaming accreditation
program. It was developed to meet or exceed all existing
responsible gaming regulatory requirements and is valid for three
years. Accreditation is reviewed by a prestigious panel of
independent responsible gaming specialists.
Rush Street Interactive is currently live in thirteen states in
the U.S. and also internationally in the regulated gaming market of
Colombia. On April 4th, BetRivers real-money online
casino and sportsbook will go live in Ontario, Canada which will become the third
country where RSI operates real-money online gaming. As
another indication of its commitment to safe and secure gaming for
customers, RSI proudly enters Ontario having achieved this globally renowned
accreditation more than two years ahead of iGaming Ontario's mandated schedule for all iGaming
operators to do so as a condition of participating in this
market.
RSI is especially proud to announce this achievement during
March, which is "Problem Gambling Awareness Month," and remains
focused on being at the forefront of this important topic.
"Receiving RG Check Accreditation is a testament to our
commitment and execution of RSI's corporate social responsibility
strategy, which includes the continued implementation of the
Company's responsible gaming initiatives," said Richard Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer of
RSI, which operates BetRivers.com and
PlaySugarHouse.com. "We want to ensure our valued customers
and employees are equipped with the tools and resources necessary
to help ensure a culture of safe, fair and fun gaming
experiences."
"RG Check is a clear demonstration that an operator prioritizes
and embeds responsible gambling into the core of its operations.
RGC commends BetRivers.com and PlaySugarHouse.com for
achieving RG Check Accreditation," said Shelley White, CEO of the Responsible Gambling
Council. "This achievement represents RSI's commitment to
transparency, player safeguards, duty of care and continuous
improvement, as well as contributes to creating a culture of
responsible gambling and sustainable play. RG Check is an
invaluable tool for managing risk and increasing the effectiveness
of RG programming. RGC is proud to provide continuous support
to RSI's harm minimization efforts."
