Rivers Casino is the third Pennsylvania casino in the state to go live with online sports betting. It’s the first casino in Western Pennsylvania to do so.

“More and more transactions are being done online, whether it’s buying something, whether it’s making reservations, and now it’s gambling,” said Doug Harbach with the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.

Bettors can place a wager on BetRivers.com on a mobile device, laptop or desktop computer as long as you are physically located within the state.

BetRivers.com will kick off its two-day test period starting Tuesday, June 25, from 4 p.m. to midnight, and Wednesday, June 26, from 2 p.m. to midnight. All bets placed during the test are real-money wagers, with complete features and options available—the only difference being limited hours of operation. Pending review and approval from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, 24/7 online and mobile wagering at BetRivers.com will commence immediately thereafter.

“In about the first hour and a half we had over 300 accounts set up and we had at least a hundred people place a wager so far in the first hour and a half,” said Andre Barnabei, Vice President of Gaming at Rivers Casino.

David Ferrero, an avid sports bettor, says this new online feature is a long time coming.

“I’ve been waiting for a sportsbook to come to the U.S. my whole life, I’ve been betting my whole life. I love the option because, well, with this casino everything is on shore, you don’t have to pay fees.”

For other sports bettors, they say they will stick to wagering sports at the casino.

“I don’t like my bets to be tracked by the U.S. Government so for me, no, but for the betting public and for the young people, I think it’s good because sometimes you can’t always get down here,” said Richard Dissinger, sports bettor.

BetRivers online sportsbook loyalty program

BetRivers features the same iRush Rewards program other Rush Street online sportsbooks do.

It’s an 11-tier-based loyalty program that provides an array of prizes and benefits based on the amount of money a player wagers.

The number of points you earn during a 60-day rolling period determines your tier. Players earn one point for every straight $10 sports bet.

The amount required to earn a point drops $1 each time you add a bet, down to $1 for every 10 to 12 bet combination.

BetRivers promotions

BetRivers online sportsbook offers promotions similar to Rush Street’s other sports betting shops.

One such promo carried over from New Jersey to both PlaySugarHouse and BetRivers is the JackpotParlay. Participants in the Jackpot Parlay can earn more than $100,000 through a series of bets placed in a specific period.

BetRivers Online Sportsbook also offers a buy out feature expected to make the transition to BetRivers. This works like insurance, giving players the option to cash out a bet before a game ends.

For example, players in New Jersey earn an entry in the Big Game Getaway Sweepstakes with each $100 wagered. The contest prizes are topped by an all-expense paid trip for two to the Super Bowl and also include other cash rewards.

You can always find Odds Boosts on BetRivers online sportsbook. They do rotate regularly but are often really good bargains. Currently you’ll find an odds boost of +200 (to +1250) for both the Bucks and Raptors to win by 5 points. That means a $100 wager will earn you a payout of $1150.
