Sightline Payments^® and Rush Street Interactive announced the launch of the gaming industry’s first integrated debit payments solution, debuting on the RSI’s BetRivers^® platform.

Rush Street Interactive (RSI) partnered with Sightline to design and launch a groundbreaking program that enhances the way BetRivers customers interact with its proprietary online gaming platform. The collaboration with Sightline underscores RSI’s commitment to putting players first by introducing a first-of-its-kind functionality that delivers secure, seamless, and convenient access to player account balances, setting a new standard for user experience in the gaming industry. Branded as BetRivers Debit, this white-labeled version of Sightline Debit transforms how customers access and use their funds. With this frictionless and customer-centric solution, BetRivers customers gain instant access to their available wagering balance anytime, anywhere and anyway, eliminating the need to repeatedly withdraw and redeposit. RSI anticipates the innovation will help reduce churn and the high payment costs that accompany it.

Beyond convenience, BetRivers Debit includes enhanced protections for patrons: FDIC insurance coverage, advanced fraud security features, and tools that support responsible gaming by promoting financial transparency and sustainable play.

“Rush Street Interactive is an industry leader that strives to be first-to-market with innovations. That’s why it makes so much sense for us to launch our revolutionary integrated payments solution, Sightline Debit, with BetRivers,” said Omer Sattar, Co-Founder & CEO of Sightline Payments. “Backed by our partnerships with Cross River Bank, this solution gives customers freedom and flexibility to use their funds when they want, where they want, all while dramatically reducing the cost of payments.”

“We remain deeply committed to putting our players first, and the launch of the online gaming industry’s first integrated debit payments solution marks a major step forward in enhancing the BetRivers experience,” said Richard Schwartz, CEO of RSI. “We’re proud that our team helped shape this innovative payment solution in close collaboration with Sightline, further underscoring RSI’s leadership in delivering cutting-edge technologies that elevate the player experience. Our collaboration with Sightline Debit demonstrates our commitment to integrity, innovation, and delivering exceptional player experiences. Being first-to-market with revolutionary new technologies benefits the entire RSI operation – from our team to our players to our investors.”

BetRiver’s initial rollout in New York marks the first step in a broader expansion. Sightline and RSI look forward to bringing this innovative solution to additional jurisdictions across the U.S. in the coming months.

The Skagit Casino Resort has made a series of upgrades across the property, with JCM Global (JCM) contributing to the project.

JCM Global upgraded 720 games from its pioneering UBA bill validator to its innovative and award-winning iVIZION bill validator. JCM also upgraded the existing ICB Intelligent Cash Box system to the advanced, web-based ICB 3.0 system.

Additionally, JCM installed a vibrant Digital Signage Solution (DSS) 1.875mm LED video wall near the casino’s entrance. This dynamic display will be used in various ways to enhance the guest experience, including showcasing live TV feeds, promotional property content, and recent jackpot announcements.

Dave Kubajak, SVP of Sales, Marketing & Operations at JCM, said: “At JCM Global, we build meaningful, long-term partnerships with our customers. A key part of that relationship is developing a customized technology road map that ensures the casino floor operates at the highest levels of security and efficiency. We are honored that The Skagit Casino Resort continues to place its trust in JCM and our innovative solutions.”

JCM’s iVIZION is the leading bill validator in its class, unmatched in both security and performance. Its advanced Contact Image Sensor (CIS) technology enhances security by scanning 75 times more data points than any bill validator, capturing the full image of both sides of a banknote or ticket, all while maintaining the fastest and highest acceptance rate.

JCM’s ICB Intelligent Cash Box system streamlines the entire drop process, eliminating human error, enhancing accuracy, and boosting compliance. The ICB system offers customizable web-based reporting for intelligence-driven floor drops and decision-making.
