This partnership also reinforces our commitment to hometown teams in states where we have our online and land-based sportsbooks.” “We look forward to expanding our relationship with the Bears and their dedicated fan base, and offering innovative products and promotions as we remain committed to delivering a first-rate customer experience. “As a lifelong Bears fan, I am thrilled to have BetRivers and Rivers Casino partner with our hometown NFL team, the Chicago Bears, as the organization’s only Official Sportsbook and Casino Partner,” said Neil Bluhm, executive chairman & co-Founder of Rush Street Interactive and Rush Street Gaming, in a statement. BetRivers was the first to launch both retail and mobile sports betting in Illinois last year, while Rivers is the biggest revenue generator among the 10 casinos in the state. The storied NFL franchise announced Tuesday it has reached an exclusive multiyear agreement with Chicago-based Rush Street Interactive that makes BetRivers the team’s official sportsbook partner and Des Plaines-based Rivers Casino its official casino partner.
The Chicago Bears may be on the lookout for places to potentially build a new stadium, but they are staying local when it comes to gaming partners.
