Chicago-based Rush Street Interactive has become the first US online casino and sports betting company to obtain RG Check iGaming Accreditation from the Responsible Gambling Council (RGC) for its BetRivers.com and PlaySugarHouse.com websites. Considered the world’s most thorough and strict accreditation program for responsible gaming, RG Check was created not only to fulfill but outperform all respective regulatory requirements in existence.
Ensuring Safe, Fair, And Fun Gaming
Just one day after officially welcoming Bruce Caughill as Managing Director, Canada, Rush Street Interactive announced that the company had secured RG Check iGaming Accreditation for its popular online casino and sportsbook platforms BetRivers.com and PlaySugarHouse.com. The latter is reviewed by a prestigious panel of independent responsible gaming specialists and valid for three years.
Richard Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer of RSI commented:
“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. 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.”
Shelley White, CEO of the Responsible Gambling Council said:
“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.”
“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.”
Ambitious Plans
Earlier in March, Rush Street Interactive, a leading online casino and sports betting company in the United States, revealed the launch of its award-winning BetRivers platform in Ontario on April 4, 2022, the first day of authorized online gaming in the province. Thus, RSI continues to expand its coverage of regulated markets, bringing to life its ambitious plans.
Canada will become the third country where RSI operates real-money online gaming, keeping company with the United States and Colombia. In addition to that, Rush Street Interactive will soon go live in the new market thanks to its partnership with media conglomerate Grupo Multimedios. Speaking of the USA, the company is currently present in thirteen states: Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Michigan, Indiana, Virginia, Colorado, Iowa, West Virginia, Arizona, and Louisiana.
