BetRivers celebrates landmark sponsorship of
Frisco Fighters as team seeks the IFL championship crown
CHICAGO, July 22,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Rush Street Interactive, Inc.
(NYSE: RSI) ("RSI" or the "Company"), a leading sports betting and
online casino company in the United
States that operates the BetRivers brand, congratulates the
Frisco Fighters on advancing to the Indoor Football League (IFL)
playoffs in only their second season on the field. RSI became a
flagship sponsor of the Fighters at the beginning of the 2022
season.
The IFL, launched in 2009, is the oldest continuously operating
indoor football league in the country. Frisco was awarded a franchise in late 2019
and, although the following season was canceled due to COVID-19,
the Fighters made a successful debut by going 11-4 and advancing to
the second round of the playoffs. This year, the Fighters achieved
a league-best 14-2 record entering the IFL playoffs this
Friday.
"We are thrilled to partner with the Frisco Fighters and
introduce our BetRivers brand to Texas," said Richard
Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer of RSI. "The
Fighters care about its fans and invests in the state. This mirrors
RSI's commitment to investing in teams that support and provide
entertainment to fans in their local markets."
RSI's sponsorship includes placement of signage for BetRivers,
sponsorship of pre-game, in-game segments and a presence on the
team's digital media.
"As we explore new ways to engage with our fans, the Frisco
Fighters are proud to team up with RSI, a true pioneer in the
online sports betting industry," said Steve
Germain, owner of the Frisco Fighters. "This partnership
proves our dedication to finding new moments for fans to get
excited on game day and share in all the adrenaline that this
league has to offer."
The sponsorship comes on the heels of a partnership RSI struck
last year with another IFL member, the Arizona Rattlers. RSI
operates its online sportsbook in Arizona via the license held by the Rattlers,
who were granted one of the ten licenses granted to professional
teams in Arizona.
RSI continues to increase its footprint. In the past month
the company launched its online sportsbook and casino in
Mexico, under the RushBet brand,
with its Latin American operations catering to the Spanish-speaking
market. Earlier this year, RSI was awarded the 2022 EGR North
American Operator of the Year, regarded as the most prestigious
award in the U.S. online sports betting industry.
