PlaySugarHouse.com Celebrates Win at the EGR North America Awards 2019 and March’s Record Breaking Numbers

Rush Street Interactive (RSI) has been crowned ‘Mobile Operator of the Year’ at the EGR North America Awards 2019. The EGR Awards celebrate the best of the best in iGaming in North America and is one of the most prestigious recognitions in the online gaming and sports betting industry.

A panel of independent judges applauded RSI for clearly demonstrating market penetration and growth of its mobile user audience.  The judges commented that: “By owning, operating and creating the technology needed to make mobile gaming seamless, Rush Street Interactive (PlaySugarHouse.com) has designed a company and a strategy that will undoubtedly create further growth.”

“This award is one of the most respected in the industry,” said Richard Schwartz, President of Rush Street Interactive. “We’ve taken a differentiated and innovative approach at PlaySugarHouse.com to deliver a totally unique mobile user experience.   The fact that we ended 2018 with a mobile penetration rate over 90% validates that our mobile strategy is working.”

Since launching less than three years ago, PlaySugarHouse.com Sportsbook & Online Casino has achieved exceptional revenue growth and is a significant contributor to March’s record breaking numbers, released earlier today by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement.

“Despite the New Jersey online casino and sportsbook market growing by a staggering 43.7% month over month, PlaySugarHouse.com still exceeded this market’s growth rate in March,” Schwartz added.

“The mobile operator of the year win, along with our record breaking financial performance in March, are testaments that our interactive teams, who deserve all the credit, are driving iGaming innovation and making us a respected leader in the emerging regulated industry in the Americas,” said Schwartz.  “Our strategy from the start has been to be the first and the best to offer a large variety of exciting and engaging sports betting and casino experiences.”

PlaySugarHouse.com’s sportsbook mobile platform is deeply integrated and operationalized to work seamlessly with Kambi’s sportsbook, which also was recognized by being named the Sportsbook Platform Provider of the year. The combination of Rush Street Interactive’s in-house mobile product & iGaming platform, leveraging the Kambi sports solution, makes for a winning combination as being proven in the New Jersey market.

The EGR North America Awards 2019 were announced at a reception in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
