The second quarter of 2026 saw Rush Street Interactive’s (RSI) fastest revenue growth in over four years. That was according to CEO Richard Schwartz, leading off a July 29 earnings call.
Schwartz lauded the recent World Cup, saying it was something “long-planned and strongly received” for RSI. It was characterized by “very successful outcomes,” Schwartz said, with 25% cross sell into igaming by first-time Latin American customers. “Handle and hold came in very nicely,” including a best-ever performance in Colombia, noted the CEO.
Pressed for analogies, Sauers responded that “It’s challenging to have a great comparable to this event. ” In North America, he said, RSI used the World Cup to get players engaged across its platform, whereas in Latin America it was more of a player-acquisition opportunity.
