Rush Street Interactive is getting its “Stink” on.

The Chicago-based gaming and betting company Thursday announced the signing of three-time Super Bowl champion Mark Schlereth as a brand ambassador with BetRivers.com. Nicknamed “Stink” due to his sometimes unsanitary habits on the football field, Schlereth will be an exclusive sports betting endorser for the company’s “Bet with a Winner” campaign.

“I’m really looking forward to interacting with BetRivers players,” Schlereth said in a statement.  “It’s one thing to offer my insights and analysis on television and radio broadcasts, but it’s really exciting to share my experience with bettors during call-ins and through other BetRivers Network platforms to help them make educated betting decisions.”

Twice a Pro Bowl guard, Schlereth worked for ESPN as a studio analyst for 16 years and was a regular contributor to the ESPN radio program Mike & Mike in the Morning. Currently a color commentator on FOX NFL broadcasts, Schlereth also works as an analyst for FSI television programs.

Schlereth will be active on BetRivers Network social media, podcasts, digital and traditional media platforms. He also will create content for Denver Broncos fans in Colorado and NFL fans across the country on Bet Rivers and PlaySugarHouse platforms.

“Mark Schlereth is respected as one of the top NFL analysts with two decades of covering the pro games on sports networks under his belt,” said RSI CEO Richard Schwartz in a statement. “Adding Mark and his vast experience as a champion player and NFL analyst will bolster our football coverage and give our bettors key NFL insights and analysis as they make their sports wagering decisions.”
