New York sports fans can finally enjoy betting on their favorite events, and BetRivers Sports NY is one of five online sportsbooks now operating in the state.
BetRivers — owned by online sports betting and casino company, Rush Street Interactive (RSI) — launched on January 8, 2022, and is offering New Yorkers a fantastic range of products and promotions.
The launch has come just in time for the NFL playoffs, ahead of February’s Super Bowl, traditionally the largest sports betting event on the US sporting calendar. A point not lost on RSI CEO Richard Schwarz.
In a press release announcing the launch, Schwarz noted, “The long-awaited launch of online and mobile sports betting in New York — the largest online sports betting market by population in the United States — is here, and just in time.
“With the college football championship game on January 10th and NFL playoffs approaching, and the NBA and NHL seasons in full swing, in addition to countless other sports and betting options available for play, fans have endless entertainment at their fingertips at BetRivers.”
- Wagering requirements of just 1x
- Generous profit boosts for popular picks
- Variety of sports & betting markets
BetRivers Sports Unrivalled Welcome Offer
BetRivers is well-known for its new player bonus, which received our five-star rating in Michigan.
The operator is offering a 100% first deposit match. Whatever amount you choose to make as your initial deposit, BetRivers NY will match, up to a maximum of $250.
Deposit match offers are pretty standard among sportsbook operators, and $250 is by no means the largest on the market but the BetRivers bonus stands out against the competition due to its nominal playthrough requirement.
Many operators require a playthrough of 15x the original deposit amount, and some stipulate even more before players can get their hands on bonus money. BetRivers playthrough is just 1x, allowing players access to the extra funds in double-quick time. The operator describes it as “the lowest requirement you’ll find anywhere.”
More Reasons to Play at BetRivers
Aside from the market-leading welcome bonus, BetRivers Sports NY prides itself on a number of state-of-the-art features and rewards. These include:
- Multi-Game Same Game Parlays: BetRivers says it is the only NY sportsbook operator to offer this feature — allowing to mix same game parlays from various different events.
- In-Game Live Betting Odds: The operator’s GameCast View allows players to wager during games.
- Online Sportsbook Promotions: Line specials, parlays of the day, odds boosts, and more — offered every day.
- Sports Betting Rewards: Players earn rewards with every wager they make — climbing through loyalty levels and increasing bonuses as they do.
- Bonus Bank: Players can put aside bonuses to spend at a later date.
- Live Sports Streaming: A plethora of global sporting events can be conveniently streamed at BetRivers NY.
RSI’s sportsbook was recently rated in the top 3 of 35 apps, as reviewed by independent gaming researchers Eilers & Krejcik. So players signing up to Bet Rivers NY can expect one of the very best user experiences available.
According to Richard Schwarz, “Simply put, we focus on the player, so the player can focus on the game. This means delivering an innovative yet simple website and app experience, more and quicker ways to deposit and withdraw funds, all supported by best-in-class customer service that works hard every day to earn and retain player trust.
He concluded: “We encourage New Yorkers to see for themselves why RSI and BetRivers have received numerous recognitions from the industry for the quality of our product and player experience.”
