Rush Street Interactive (RSI) has announced a new partnership with BurraPay, a provider of cryptocurrency payment solutions.
The agreement will see BurraPay's technology integrated into RSI's BetRivers online gaming platform, giving players the ability to fund their accounts with cryptocurrency. Deployment will proceed on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis, subject to regulatory approvals.
Commenting on the deal, Luke Millanta, CTO and Co-Founder, stated: "We are thrilled to welcome Rush Street Interactive as our first US customer.
"This agreement is a milestone for both companies - and for the industry as a whole - as it proves that cryptocurrency payments can be delivered in a compliant, player-friendly and scalable way.
"Rush Street Interactive has always been an innovator in online gaming, and we couldn't ask for a better partner to showcase what BurraPay can do."
Richard Schwartz, CEO of Rush Street Interactive, added: "BurraPay has demonstrated a compliance-first approach that perfectly aligns with our values and regulatory commitments.
"We are excited to offer our BetRivers players the flexibility to fund their accounts with cryptocurrency - an option that will enhance the overall gaming experience and reinforces our commitment to putting our players first."
The announcement follows BurraPay's recent integration agreement with Bragg Gaming Group in September, which saw cryptocurrency payment solutions added to Bragg's player account management and content delivery platforms for use across global markets and US tribal gaming operations.
