CHICAGO, May 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rush Street Interactive, Inc. (NYSE: RSI) ("RSI"), which operates the BetRivers brand, has been named Customer Services Operator of the Year at the EGR North America Awards 2023. Since the inception of this prestigious customer services category, RSI has claimed the top spot every year four years running. The EGR Awards are regarded as the gold standard in the online gaming industry, recognizing and rewarding the top operators who have shown outstanding performance in the past year.

“It is an honor for RSI to be selected as Customer Services Operator of the Year every year since EGR started presenting this important award category,” said Richard Schwartz, CEO of RSI. “This award is a validation of our strategy to build deeper long-term relationships with our players. We understand that trust is one of the biggest drivers for consumers in choosing an online gaming and sports betting company and that’s why we automate our platform functionality and empower our customer service teams to find ways to quickly resolve tension points for any player in need of support.”

RSI was once again saluted for its collaborative and communicative culture as well as continual training and development. The judges, made up of the gaming industry’s top leaders, considered innovation, customer satisfaction and impact on retention in awarding RSI Customer Services Operator of the Year for its unwavering commitment to excellence in service.

“We recognize that as the level of promotional aggressiveness declines in the industry, operators such as RSI who from the start and continue to prioritize customer service can be a significant differentiator for our BetRivers brand that will give us a competitive advantage in player retention,” Schwartz added. “We are proud that our BetRivers customer service teams consistently reinforce our brand promise to create a trustworthy, transparent and frictionless player experience when interacting with our valued players.”
