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 compounding. The players it keeps are worth more than the handle it chases. Rush Street Interactive built its business around online casino and player retention, and put less weight on 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, and it raised full-year guidance while several sportsbook-led rivals were guiding down.

World Cup betting is 9× Qatar. Keeping those players is where the money is made.
US handle is tracking $2.8 to 4.3B, nine times Qatar. Handle is a flow number; the retained cohort is where value is made or lost. US sportsbooks are on track for $2.8B to $4.3B in World Cup bets across 104 matches, 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: game-like features built to hold new bettors past the knockout rounds.
