On the strength of record-level numbers for their company, Rush Street Interactive executives were in an upbeat mood during their first-quarter earnings call on 28 April.
“Our continued momentum demonstrates the success of our casino-first strategy,” said CEO Richard Schwartz. He called that focus “the fundamental differentiator of our business model. ”
“We’re filling the top of the funnel faster,” Schwartz said, referring to a record number of first-time RSI depositors. “We’re doing it more efficiently than ever. ”
Not even a new, 16% “emergency” tax on gross gambling revenue in Colombia could dampen the moods of Schwartz and Chief Financial Officer Kyle Sauers.
