Rush Street Interactive Partners with BurraPay to Bring Cryptocurrency Payments to BetRivers Platform
Rush Street Interactive (RSI) has partnered with BurraPay, a leading provider of compliant cryptocurrency payment solutions for regulated gaming, to integrate digital currency funding directly into the BetRivers platform. The agreement marks BurraPay’s first U.S. customer and represents a significant step toward mainstream crypto adoption in regulated online gaming. Players will soon be able to fund their sportsbook and casino accounts using cryptocurrencies, with rollout occurring jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction as regulatory approvals are secured.
Landmark Deal Brings Compliant Crypto Payments to BetRivers
The partnership between Rush Street Interactive and BurraPay represents a milestone for both companies and the broader iGaming industry. BurraPay will integrate its cryptocurrency payment solution directly into the BetRivers gaming platform, enabling seamless account funding through digital currencies. According to the agreement, the solution will roll out on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis as necessary regulatory approvals are obtained.
Luke Millanta, CTO and co-founder of BurraPay, emphasized the significance of the collaboration: “This agreement is a milestone for both companies – and for the industry as a whole – as it proves that cryptocurrency payments can be delivered in a compliant, player-friendly, and scalable way.” Richard Schwartz, CEO of Rush Street Interactive, added that the company remains committed to innovation and player choice, stating the partnership demonstrates RSI’s dedication to offering flexible funding options while maintaining strict regulatory compliance.
Part of Broader Payment Flexibility Strategy
The BurraPay integration is the second major payment innovation RSI has announced recently. Earlier in March 2026, the company unveiled the gambling industry’s first integrated payments debit solution in partnership with Sightline, designed to enhance how BetRivers customers interact with the platform. These developments reflect RSI’s strategic focus on providing diverse payment methods to accommodate player preferences while adhering to regulatory requirements.
The cryptocurrency payment option addresses growing player demand for alternative funding methods in online gaming. By partnering with a compliance-focused provider like BurraPay, RSI ensures that crypto payments meet all regulatory standards before deployment in each jurisdiction. This measured approach prioritizes player protection and regulatory adherence over rapid rollout.
What This Means for BetRivers Players
BetRivers players will gain access to cryptocurrency as a funding method, joining a growing segment of online casinos that accept digital currencies. This addition provides flexibility for players who hold cryptocurrencies and prefer to use them for gaming deposits. The phased rollout ensures that each jurisdiction receives the solution only after securing appropriate regulatory clearance, protecting players through compliance oversight.
The integration maintains BetRivers’ commitment to secure, regulated gaming. BurraPay’s compliance-first approach aligns with RSI’s regulatory commitments, ensuring that cryptocurrency payments function within established legal frameworks rather than circumventing them. Players can expect the same security standards and player protections they currently receive through traditional payment methods.
