BetRivers Sportsbook Launches in West Virginia

What It Means for West Virginia

When it officially launches, those in the Mountain State ages 21 and over who participate in West Virginia online sports betting, can wager on the BetRivers iOS and Android mobile apps and website. 

Rush Street Interactive also confirmed that the two platforms would have a shared wallet. 

With BetRivers launching in West Virginia, the product “offers customers a wide breadth and scope of betting markets and content across various sports leagues” as well as an “intuitive, innovative user interface, strong transactional performance, speed and reliability for in-play and pre-game bets, a leading catalog of betting markets, live-streamed sports events, and popular bet types such as instant bets and single-game parlays, as well as a proprietary and automated bonusing and withdrawal approval system, all backed by professional and award-winning customer service.”

More on BetRivers

BetRivers offers a loyalty program with an integrated Bonus Bank, Bonus Store, and Refer a Friend program. 

As part of the Refer a Friend system, you will receive a scratch card with a guaranteed payout of $50 to $500 when your friend signs up and places their first bet. 

This past April, BetRivers was ranked the fourth-best mobile sportsbook app among 41 competitors in the United States by Eilers & Krejcik, a gaming research firm. 

"We expect our BetRivers sportsbook app to be well received as many West Virginians are now familiar with the BetRivers brand and have come to appreciate and trust our high-quality products and responsive customer service," Richard Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer of RSI, said in a news release. "We are pleased that our integrated app will provide one convenient location for players in West Virginia to switch effortlessly between the casino and sportsbook using phones, tablets and computers to experience all that we have to offer, from spreads, moneylines, parlays, single-game parlays, and player props to slots, tables games, and live dealer experiences."

Since launching in April 2021, the online casino has seen a share “in the low teens” of the WV online casino market share, per the West Virginia Lottery Commission and Rush Street Interactive’s estimates. 

"We are excited to expand our presence in West Virginia and offer residents more ways to win with the launch of our popular BetRivers sportsbook,” Schwartz said. Our experience in other markets has validated that online sportsbook players also enjoy the full services of our online casinos, especially the table games. Along with offering a more enjoyable experience through our platform, at RSI, we are constantly striving to provide a more trusted betting experience by emphasizing usability, responsibility, and transparency."

As with the online casino, the land-based partner for the mobile and online sportsbook will be through partnerships with Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack & Resort.
