Rush Street may be the next sportsbook to join the Arizona market.

It appears probable that Rush Street Interactive, a sportsbook operator, has established a partnership with a sports team and/or casino in Arizona.

CEO Richard Schwartz conveyed his optimism regarding the company’s growth strategies in states such as Arizona and New York during the earnings call on Thursday. RSI has already filed an application for betting apps in Arizona.

The company is the fourteenth operator applying for an Arizona sports betting license.

Schwartz highlighted that aside from boosting revenues in existing markets, the company has been successful in penetrating new markets. He stressed the importance of expanding into new markets for growth, as well as improving their sports betting and casino game offerings through collaborations with GTG Network and Boom Entertainment.

As the year progressed, Schwartz’s position gained traction following RSI’s agreement to become the official partner of the Connecticut Lottery.

There are numerous interested parties in Arizona.

The Arizona Department of Gaming is on schedule to choose 20 sportsbook operators, including 10 professional teams/venues and 10 tribes, for the launch of legalized sports betting on Sept. 9, coinciding with the start of the 2021 NFL season.
