Rush Street Interactive: Latest News

RIO Poker, the innovative online poker room, is prepping for a relaunch in the US market. Learn about the features that made it stand out & what to expect.

A weekend tweet from poker pro Phil Galfond suggests that RSI, which purchased the RIO platform last year, will keep the Run It Once name in its future rollout of US online poker.

The new US online poker platform has launched in Pennsylvania for real money online poker!

Rush Street Interactive (RSI) acquired Phil Galfond’s Run It Once Poker (RIO) platform in March. It could potentially launch BetRivers Poker in several jurisdictions in North America — though the company’s plans remain unclear.

Coupled with the Run It Once Poker team, the acquisition puts Rush Street Interactive in a strong position to launch online poker.

BetRivers Casino Ontario is live with 229 games, including 35 live dealer and 36 table games, most of them powered by Evolution. BetRivers Sportsbook Ontario also launched with Canadian-centric “hometown favorites” on offer.

Poker fans have reason for (cautious) celebration as both Unibet & BetRivers have online poker platforms that could someday be deployed in Ontario.

Rush Street Interactive, one of the leading iGaming operators in the US, acquires Galfond’s Run It Once Poker Room for $5.8 million in cash and stock.
