RSI Launches Canadian Social Gambling Platform
With the introduction of its CASINO4FUN social gaming platform in Ontario, Rush Street Interactive (RSI) has made its first appearance into the Canadian social gambling market. BetRivers.net now offers a free-to-play sportsbook and casino games to residents of the province who are at least 19 years of age. Once it receives the necessary regulatory licenses, RSI intends to operate a real-money sportsbook and gambling in Ontario under the BetRivers name in the following months.
Over 350 online and table games
RSI’s real money platforms employ the same unique technology as CASINO4FUN. Ontarians will have access to the same wide selection of games as RSI’s gamers in Latin America and the United States. There are over 350 online slots and table games to choose from. Casino bonus features and a reward program are also available. People may make single-game and parlay bets on worldwide sporting events via the sportsbook.
CASINO4FUN will be a means for RSI to develop its player database and brand in Canada before it is able to introduce real-money services. Users of social gaming sites may be led to the real money offering once the real money platforms are launched.
- Great variety in bonuses
- A large selection of slots
- Withdrawal and deposit limits
Canadian expansion
Richard Schwartz, CEO of RSI, discussed how entering the Canadian market is exciting and represents a new frontier for the company: “CASINO4FUN® delivers the same high quality of entertainment and customer support to our community of players as RSI’s real-money gaming platform, presented in a casual and free-to-play environment,” he added.
Canada is the third country that RSI offers either social or real money gambling in. According to the news release announcing the Canadian expansion, as of July 2021, RSI was the fourth largest provider of sports betting and online casino in the United States. It’s also popular in Colombia, where it’s been nominated for prizes in betting and online gambling.
Major changes
The Canadian gaming industry is undergoing major changes, following the lead of the United States. Single-event betting became allowed in August of this year. Each province must determine whether or not to allow single-event betting inside their borders; it seems that the majority, if not all, will. The betting format is already in use by certain provincial providers.
Independent providers are unlikely to join the market until at least next year. DraftKings and PointsBet, for example, have been attempting to establish a number of agreements throughout the nation in preparation for the launch of their own platforms. Legalizing single-event betting could boost Canada’s GDP by $425 million and generate 2,500 jobs, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers.
