Rush Street bet on casino over sportsbook, and the slowdown is proving it right.
While sportsbook-led operators slow down, Rush Street’s casino-first model keeps building. The players it keeps are worth more than the betting volume it chases. Rush Street Interactive built its business around online casino and keeping its players, and put less weight on the total amount bet on sports (sportsbook handle). That choice is showing. Its most recent quarter posted revenue up 41% to $370.4M and adjusted profit up 81% to $60.2M. It raised its full-year forecast while several sportsbook-led rivals were forecasting lower.

World Cup betting is 9× Qatar. Keeping those players is where the money is made.
US betting volume is tracking $2.8 to 4.3B, nine times Qatar. Volume is a flow number; the players who stay are where value is made or lost. US sportsbooks are on track for $2.8B to $4.3B in World Cup bets across 104 matches. That is about 9× the ~$490M on Qatar 2022. Worldwide betting is projected above $50B (+43%). The 48-team format, legal mobile betting in 39 states and a strong home-team run are pushing volume past plan. Operators have shifted the talk from signing players up to keeping them. They are using game-like features built to hold new bettors past the knockout rounds.
