PLAYSUGARHOUSE SPORTSBOOK SOFT LAUNCHES IN CONNECTICUT

Rush Street Interactive, the online sports betting and casino operator, has announced the soft launch of the PlaySugarHouse online sportsbook in Connecticut. 

From 15:00 ET yesterday, 750 of customers were able to register and start placing bets at the sportsbook, on a first-come-first-served basis. Once the limit is reached, as per Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection regulations, customers who pre-register at www.PlaySugarHouse.com will be added to a waiting list and notified as soon as the full launch is authorised, which is expected as soon as 19 October 2021. Waitlisted customers will receive an extra free bet once their PlaySugarHouse accounts can be opened, on top of the $250 first deposit match bonus to which all new players are entitled.

Richard Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer of RSI, commented: “We are thrilled to begin the much-anticipated launch of the PlaySugarHouse online sportsbook with the Connecticut Lottery and bring our award-winning product to players in Connecticut. We are confident that with our huge volume of betting content, wide range of deposit and withdrawal methods, real-time cash-out approvals, and best-in-class customer service, Connecticut players will come to prefer PlaySugarHouse when wagering on their favorite sports.”

In August, Rush Street Interactive signed a 10-year agreement to serve as the Connecticut Lottery Corporation’s (CLC) exclusive provider of a sports betting system for mobile, online and retail channels, and operator of the CLC’s mobile/online sportsbook.
