BetRivers Sportsbook

Overview

BetRivers is operated by Rush Street Interactive (RSI), the online gaming arm of Rush Street Gaming — owner and operator of Rivers Casino properties across the US. Licensed in 15+ US states, BetRivers benefits from the Rivers Casino brand's physical presence and trusted reputation in brick-and-mortar gaming markets. RSI launched BetRivers in 2019 and has grown steadily by focusing on customer retention through the industry's most rewarding loyalty programme rather than competing on headline bonus offers.

iRush Rewards: 10/10

BetRivers' iRush Rewards programme is the strongest ongoing loyalty system in US sports betting. Every dollar wagered on any sport earns Loyalty Points, which accumulate to unlock Reward Credits redeemable as cash (1,000 points = $1 in Reward Credits, effectively 0.1% cashback on all wagers). Tier progression — Bronze through Diamond — unlocks escalating benefits including accelerated earning rates, priority customer support, and exclusive promotions. No competing US sportsbook returns comparable ongoing value on straight wagers; DraftKings' Dynasty Rewards and FanDuel's loyalty programme return significantly less per dollar wagered at base tiers.

Markets & In-Play: 7/10

BetRivers covers all major US sports — NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NCAA — with competitive same-game parlay markets and live in-play betting. The market depth is adequate for mainstream US sports but less comprehensive than DraftKings on player props and alternate lines. BetRivers' live betting interface has improved significantly and now supports real-time cash-out on most markets. International sports coverage includes Premier League, Champions League, and tennis majors.

Verdict

BetRivers is the recommendation for US bettors who prioritise long-term value over headline bonuses. The iRush Rewards programme's math is straightforwardly superior to competitors — if you bet regularly, BetRivers returns more money over 12 months than any alternative. For the sharpest odds and broadest markets, DraftKings and FanDuel edge BetRivers; for rewards-focused recreational betting, BetRivers leads the US market.
