Rush Street Interactive Celebrates 11 Top Prize
Winners of $10,000 Since Launching
Squares Last Month
CHICAGO, Jan. 27,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Playing Squares is one of the
easiest ways to win at BetRivers and PlaySugarHouse sportsbooks
with a potential payout of up to $10,000. Already, 11 bettors have collected the
maximum amount since the format was introduced on NFL regular
season and college bowl games in mid-December.
"I was ecstatic when I hit Squares for $10,000 and I've even won two more times on the
game for smaller wins," said Frank, who asked not to use his last
name. The 27-year-old, who hit first at PlaySugarHouse Connecticut
and the later wins at BetRivers New York, continued: "Squares not
only gives you a better chance at winning more money, at no extra
cost to me, but it allows you to have even more fun watching the
games. It's a thrill I haven't felt since I was a quarterback in
high school and college."
The executives at Rush Street Interactive, Inc. (NYSE: RSI)
("RSI") call Squares a game changer and are excited to see how
players are enjoying it.
"Squares gives our bettors an additional thrill by offering
extra bonus opportunities on their existing football bets," said
Richard Schwartz, CEO at RSI. "The
game makes watching the action even more exciting by offering our
customers more ways to win from existing bets. It has quickly
become one of our most popular promotions for players at all
levels, from first time bettors to experienced sports
wagerers."
Now the RSI online sportsbooks are offering Squares promotions
on the NFL conference championship games and Super Bowl LVII and
RSI expects to see more winners like Frank: "It's really awesome.
When I won the $10K it was my first
time playing Squares at an online sportsbook and I was expecting
maybe to win and get a double return on my bet. And it was right
before my birthday! My grandmas usually give me a nice cash
birthday gift but no one has ever given me $10,000! I celebrated
with a steak dinner, put a little away in savings and kept a little
out to get more Squares to play at PlaySugarHouse and
BetRivers."
Squares is a longtime popular wagering option for the Super
Bowl, and it has been expanded at RSI-operated sportsbooks to other
NFL and college games.
A Squares grid consists of 10 horizontal rows and 10 vertical
columns. Each of the 100 spaces in the grid contains two
single-digit numbers. The number on the left represents the final
score of the visiting team. The other number represents the final
score of the home team. The numbers are matched with the second
digit of each team's ultimate score.
If the numbers are an exact match, the square is a winner. For
example, if the square contains the numbers 1 and 7, it wins
provided the visiting team winds up with a points total ending in
one and the home team with a points total ending in seven.
Here's how it works at the BetRivers &
PlaySugarHouse sportsbooks
A square — at no extra charge — is earned and issued through the
RSI platform when a $10+ bet is placed on any applicable game. A
second free square can be obtained with $50+ wagered on the same
game and a third with $100+ risked.
Bettors are assigned each square at random and are informed
which numbers they have received.
Winning squares typically award $20, $50 or
$100. However, anyone who places a
Same Game Parlay for at least $5 can
boost the possible payout to as much as $10,000. (Winners will be informed of the amounts
after the game.)
This winner at PlaySugarHouse in Connecticut couldn't believe he collected the
largest potential prize of $10,000
for a bet of $100.
"We are thrilled to see these bettors bet a small amount and get
a big win," added Schwartz. "Our customers tell us they love the
game! As we are always looking for new and exclusive ways to add
excitement and make our customers happy, we are now planning to
extend Squares to basketball."
