BetRivers powers new online sportsbook and casino for Delaware Lottery
The Delaware Lottery has rolled out its first online sportsbook and re-launched its three online casinos in partnership with Rush Street Interactive’s BetRivers brand.
Ushering in a new era of online gaming in the First State, the roll out follows a successful soft launch on 27 December.
In addition to the introduction of online sports betting for the first time in Delaware, the state’s three casinos now offer a revamped array of online casino games.
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.
“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 Rush Street Interactive (RSI) CEO Richard Schwartz. “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.”
Selected through a public RFP process last year, RSI has replaced 888 and is providing iGaming for the Delaware Lottery for an initial term of 5 years, with extensions at the discretion of the lottery.
“RSI’s successes in other jurisdictions, including neighboring New Jersey and Pennsylvania, are impressive, along with the company’s overall reputation and experience,” said Delaware Lottery director Helene Keeley. “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 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. Together RSI and the Delaware Lottery are devoted to successfully delivering best-in-class products and services to our customers.”
Schwartz added: “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.
“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 US state to successfully launch intrastate iGaming in 2013.
