RSI announces the launch of BetRivers Poker in four US states

The platform is now available in Delaware, Michigan, West Virginia and Pennsylvania.

Rush Street Interactive (RSI) has announced the launch of its online poker platform, BetRivers Poker, into four US states, following the successful debut in Pennsylvania last November. 

Delaware, Michigan and West Virginia players are now able to access the platform, aiming to merge player pools across four states to create a larger, more competitive network. Now, players can compete across state lines, resulting in bigger tournament prize pools, deeper cash-game fields and more consistent action.

Richard Schwartz, RSI CEO, said: “The launch of a unified cross-state player pool significantly enhances the BetRivers Poker experience. By expanding the network, we’ll bring more players to our tables, offer a wider variety of games, and raise the stakes with larger tournament prize pools. We’re thrilled to strengthen our poker footprint and deliver best-in-class competition and community-driven play across multiple states.”

A fifth state is planned to join later this year: RSI plans to launch BetRivers Poker in New Jersey. 

The platform was developed with direct input from the poker community, led by Phil Galfond, who helped design the platform’s gameplay, features, and rewards.

He said: “As poker players, we built this platform for the players – all of them. From brand-new poker players to seasoned pros, we focused on fairness, fun, unique features and meaningful player rewards. I’ve been involved from day one to help shape BetRivers Poker into a platform that delivers the best possible player experience.”

Good to know: Phil Hellmuth was appointed as a brand ambassador at RSI earlier this year

Alongside Galfond is Phil Hellmuth, who has shared his competitive insight with the brand, amplifying reach and player engagement through media, live events, and digital content. 

He said: “I’ve won more bracelets than anyone in history because I know how poker players think and BetRivers delivers what they want: real competition, big moments, and a championship experience.”

Odds tell a story long before the result does. When bettors learn to read that story properly, betting becomes a matter of discipline and value rather than emotion or guesswork.
