On Thursday, Rush Steet Interactive announced that it was selected by the Delaware Lottery to serve as its new online gaming partner.

As a result of this partnership, Rush Street Interactive will provide lottery online gaming services for five years. The deal also has additional one-year renewals available.

Following the announcement, Rush Steet Interactive CEO Richard Schwartz commented saying the following:

“This partnership is yet another significant milestone for RSI, as the confidence of a state-backed organization, such as the Delaware Lottery, further validates the trust that lottery officials have in our award-winning online platform and customer service. Building on our proven track record of success in the tri-state area of Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, where RSI was an early entrant in the first online market in the U.S., we are honoured to collaborate with the Delaware Lottery team and the state’s three casinos to offer consumers who are geo-located in Delaware with safe, convenient, and innovative online gaming experiences.”

Also, it’s unclear if Rush Street brands, such as BetRivers, PlaySugarHouse, or RushBet, will appear in the state.

The Delaware Lottery director Helene Keeley was impressed with Rush Street’s success, including neighbouring New Jersey and Pennsylvania states.

“Rush Street Interactive has established itself as a leading innovator in the industry and is a respected iGaming and sports betting company,” Keeley said.

Keeley also referenced Rush Street’s commitment to responsible gaming as part of the decision.

“We reviewed proposed bids from other online gaming companies and suppliers, and the combination of experience and commitment to quality products, customer service, and responsible gaming is why we selected RSI. We’re delighted to begin this partnership and have no doubt that Delawareans and the customers of Delaware’s three casinos will be thrilled with RSI’s exciting library of offerings and industry-leading customer service.”

In June, Delaware brought over $41 million in revenue from in-person casino play. With Rush Street on board, they’ll look to add to that total online.
