CHICAGO, April 7,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Rush Street Interactive,
Inc. (NYSE: RSI) ("RSI"), a Chicago-based gaming and betting company, is
proud to announce the expanding role and reach of Canadian sports
broadcasting icon Dan O'Toole
following his signing of an exclusive brand and content deal with
BetRivers.
O'Toole began hosting Boomsies!, a weekly podcast about sports
and life, earlier this year. It quickly became one of the top
sports podcasts in the Canadian market, and now that BetRivers.ca
is live his audience continues to expand. He made his debut
as a BetRivers Brand Ambassador in a series of television ads that
aired in Canada during the 2022
Winter Olympics.
O'Toole's media career has spanned two decades and includes a
long tenure as a television sports anchor on Canada's TSN's SportsCentre. He also
spent several years at Fox Sports 1 in Los Angeles, California.
"Joining BetRivers and hosting Boomsies! is a terrific way for
me to continue to do what I love and to engage with sports fans,"
said O'Toole. "With BetRivers.ca's live launch in
Ontario this week, this is an
exciting moment in the evolution of sports betting here in
Canada and a great
opportunity for me to provide commentary and share my passion for
sports with my fellow Canadians, as well as in other markets
throughout the U.S. where BetRivers has sportsbooks."
"Dan O'Toole has had a tremendous
broadcasting career in Canada,"
said Richard Schwartz, CEO of RSI,
which operates BetRivers.ca. "Having him join our BetRivers team to
create content and produce podcasts is bringing a new level of
expertise and entertainment to our betting family."
New episodes of Boomsies! are available each Wednesday on most
podcast apps, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify, in
addition to a video version on YouTube with the BetRivers
Network.
