Company History

RSI was founded in 2012 as a subsidiary of Rush Street Gaming. The company launched PlaySugarHouse in New Jersey in 2016. This made RSI one of the first regulated online casino operators in the U.S. In 2018, RSI became the first U.S. gaming company to launch regulated operations in Latin America through its RushBet brand in Colombia. The company pioneered Pennsylvania’s online sportsbook market in 2019. RSI completed its public listing on the NYSE in December 2020. Today the company employs over 800 people across offices in Chicago, Bogota, Medellin, and Tartu.

CEO Profile

Richard Schwartz became CEO in August 2021 after co-founding RSI and serving as President since 2012. He holds degrees from UC Berkeley and UC Hastings College of the Law.
