BetRivers Michigan online casino revenue a big asset for Rush Street
BetRivers Casino MI sits fourth in all-time Michigan online casino revenue at $187.4 million.
The fourth slot is a solid landing spot, as BetMGM is the runaway top operator ($1.1 billion), while FanDuel and DraftKings both approach $500 million.
In January, BetRivers brought in $8.6 million in online casino revenue in Michigan. It marked the seventh consecutive month it brought in at least $8 million in online casino revenue.
Online casino revenue is clearly a big boost for RSI, among other iGaming operators around the country.
RSI reports that Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia combine for 74.6% of the company’s online gaming revenue. All four states have legalized online casinos.
BetRivers online casino is also bringing in a female audience. While its online sports betting demographic is 83% male, the online casino demographic is 53% female.
Player retention a focus for RSI
RSI stressed during their Q4 call that while customer acquisition is important for growth, player retention is the key to profitability.
They believe the way to retain players is through consistent promotion opportunities. That includes regular holiday-based promotions.
BetRivers Casino also has a lot of success through RushArena. It’s a multi-player platform that helps drive Rush Race slot tournaments.
Rush Race slot tournaments are daily 5-minute tournaments that occur at noon, 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. each day.
