Rush Street Interactive has announced that its sportsbook has become a partner of the NBA team.
US.- Rush Street Interactive (RSI) has announced that its BetRivers Sportsbook has become an official partner of the New Orleans Pelicans NBA team. BetRivers signage now appears throughout the Smoothie King Center including the front row of courtside seats.
RSI has also rebranded the Chairman’s Club, now called the BetRivers Chairman Lounge, and has updated live odds boards. BetRivers has also named former NFL wide receiver and winner of two Super Bowls, Brandon Stokley, and Louisiana media veteran, Jimmy Ott, as brand ambassadors.
Richard Schwartz, chief executive officer of RSI, said: “The Pelicans partnership and BetRivers Chairman Lounge is an RSI investment to enhance fans’ watching and wagering experiences inside the Smoothie King Center, as well as emphasize our commitment to Louisiana sports throughout the state.
“We are thrilled to have our BetRivers sportsbook in the Bayou State and are proud to be the official partner of the New Orleans Pelicans, with its core of young, talented players and exciting future.”
Dennis Lauscha, president of the New Orleans Pelicans, added: “New Orleans and Louisiana are home to some of the most passionate sports fans in the country, and it was important for us to partner with an online sportsbook such as BetRivers that delivers the high-quality experience that these fans expect and deserve.
“We appreciate the support of RSI and BetRivers and look forward to their increased presence in the Smoothie King Center.”
In January, RSI announced a 10-year deal to operate a sportsbook at the Pro Football Hall of Fame Village in Canton, Ohio.
The Hall of Fame Village is currently under construction, connecting the Pro Football Hall of Fame as well as the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. It is adjacent to the Hall of Fame Village Sports Complex.
