Rush Street Interactive Launches BetRivers Poker with Phil Galfond

Rush Street Interactive Launches BetRivers Poker

BetRivers Poker is for all levels of players, from newbies to pros, with cash games, Sit & Go’s and multi-table tournaments (MTT’s).

The platform has some cool features like Dynamic Avatars which give players real time insights into opponents playing style. Avatars change expressions based on opponent behavior so it’s an easy and fun way to read the table. Cub3d Sit and Go (SNG) tournaments allow players to win up to 1,500x their buy-in in minutes.

“We are incredibly excited about the launch of this platform. Our goal is to create a seamless experience for players, bridging the gap between the BetRivers digital and Rivers Casino offerings,” said Richard Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer of Rush Street Interactive. “By aligning with Rush Street Gaming’s strong retail presence, we are able to leverage our combined strengths to offer a truly unique poker experience that benefits players and drives growth across our entire portfolio.”

RSI’s partnership with Rivers Casino poker rooms in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia makes it easy for retail players to earn rewards and seamlessly transition between online and live poker.

BetRivers Poker players also get to earn and redeem points through the award winning BetRivers iRush Rewards program across digital and retail locations.

BetRivers Poker will expand through its partnership with the popular Poker Night in America (PNIA) series owned by RSI.

Launching in Pennsylvania first, BetRivers Poker will expand to other jurisdictions as part of RSI’s long term plans.

Tim Drehkoff, Chief Executive Officer of Rush Street Gaming, added, “This launch reinforces our commitment to offering Rivers Casino’s guests a wide variety of gaming options. By integrating online and in-person poker, we’re not only enhancing the player experience, but also providing a seamless loyalty and rewards program. We’re committed to continuing to innovate and provide value to our players.”
