Rush Street Interactive, a Chicago-based igaming, and sports betting operator, announced on Friday, September 24, its team-up with American Gaming Association for its latest responsible gaming initiative. 

Rush Street Interaction: Responsible Gaming at its core

The operator has become one of the stakeholders of AGA’s ‘Have A Game Plan. Bet Responsibly’ public service campaign, per Casino Beat.

The said initiative zeroes in on the fundamentals of responsible sports betting, aiming to educate bettors on several guidelines and best practices that would help attain a healthy betting lifestyle. 

Some of these helpful tips pertain to allotting a strict budget for gaming, keeping betting transactions social, getting up-to-date with the odds, and wagering with only the legit, regulated operators.  

For its part in the campaign, RSI intends to fully embrace the message of AGA’s Have A Game Plan initiative. The operator has directed some of its departments to incorporate responsible gaming-related content into their operations, including customer marketing, employee training, and overall gaming strategy. 

RSI has been advocating responsible gaming in compliance with its social responsibility function. 

The company has remained steadfast in promoting a healthy gaming environment by integrating its products with innovative gaming tools that facilitate safe and seamless transactions for its customers. 

One of the game-enhancing solutions that RSI recently introduced is the Rushpay tool, which has gained positive reviews for its fast, transparent, and non-cancellable withdrawal and refund capability.

American Gaming Association launches the Have A Game Plan campaign, looking to channel the support from industry stakeholders to promote the message of responsible gaming across different platforms. 

AGA has enlisted a host of established and influential entities for its campaign, including Monumental Sports and Entertainment, NASCAR, New York Jets, NHL, PGA TOUR, SeventySix Capital, Sinclair Broadcast Group, UFC, Vegas Golden Knights, and Washington Football Team, along with gaming operators and suppliers.
