Rush Street Interactive growth playbook

Diagnosis

RSI is growing fast (revenue up 46%, about 949,000 monthly players, two-thirds in Latin America) and its hiring shows where growth comes next: a Director of Affiliate Marketing for one of its largest acquisition channels, a Latin American marketing team in Bogota and Mexico (community, paid media, copy and project management), a Mexico market intelligence and partnerships director, and product managers for registration, payments and activation.

The corporate site has not caught up: no partner page, no market list, Mexico not named, generic page titles. This playbook gives affiliates a front door and Mexico a presence first, then builds deep links, value-based commissions, compliant real-time social, clean tracking and a better activation funnel.

Growth Score

7/10

Biggest Opportunity

Make RSI easy to partner with: a clear front door and app-first deep links for affiliates in every market, while Latin America's large player base gets more value per player.

Biggest Risk

Regulation and tax change by market, and strong local rivals such as Caliente and Codere in Mexico, can squeeze acquisition returns.

Quick wins with a clear first action.

  • 01

    RSI is hiring a Director of Affiliate Marketing for "one of RSI's largest and fastest-growing acquisition channels", with a brief to recruit new publishers at G2E, SBC Summit, ICE and iGB, and to lead affiliates into every new market. But a publisher who looks RSI up after a conference finds no affiliate or partner page on rushstreetinteractive.com, no list of markets (Mexico and Colombia are never named, Alberta appears only in a headline), and only an email link to the Chicago office.

    Smallest test

    Publish a one-screen partner page with the market list and an application form.

    Why it works

    Add a /partners page: one card per brand and market (BetRivers by state and province, PlaySugarHouse, RushBet Colombia, RushBet Mexico), the commission models on offer (CPA, revenue share, hybrid), the app-first deep links affiliates should use, a link to the asset library and one application form routed to the affiliate team. Link it from the top navigation and the footer, and put the URL on every conference badge and deck.

    Publishers judge an operator by how easy it is to start; a clear front door turns conference conversations and new-market launches into signed partners within days instead of weeks of email.

    Evidence

    • HiringDirector, Affiliate Marketing (remote US, posted August 24, 2026): affiliate marketing is "one of RSI's largest and fastest-growing acquisition channels" and "a critical driver of new customer acquisition". The director will "recruit new publishers", "Represent RSI at G2E, SBC Summit, ICE Barcelona, and iGB L!VE", "Lead affiliate strategy for new market launches", "optimize CPA structures using LTV and ROI", "operationalize partner-level LTV reporting" and "ensure affiliates have access to current, high-performing marketing assets". RSI is "a mobile-first business where a majority of revenue is generated through the app", so the role drives "app installs, deep linking, app-to-registration conversion, and mobile attribution".Source

The only contact is a "Get in Touch" email link to the Chicago office. The site has no affiliate or partner page, never names Mexico or Colombia, and mentions Alberta only in a news headline.Source

    The homepage "By the Numbers" block shows US market rank and game count, but the "Active Users" tile is a chart image with no number. The latest results give strong figures: about 949,000 monthly active users across both regions, revenue up 46% and guidance raised.

    Swap the image for text figures this week.

    Why it works

    Replace the image with live text figures (MAUs, revenue growth, markets, employees), dated by quarter and linked to the results release. Update them each quarter with the earnings release.

    Partners, recruits and investors read the homepage first; current, dated numbers make the company look as big as it is and are readable by search and AI assistants.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Figures go stale

      Tie the update to the earnings checklist.

    RSI is hiring a Mexico community manager and a Mexico market intelligence and partnerships director, and Latin American MAUs (including Mexico) are about 653,000, two-thirds of the total. Yet the corporate site links only RushBet.co, and every job post lists the brands as "BetRivers.com, PlaySugarHouse.com, and RushBet.co". Mexico, its own authorized site, does not appear.

    Update the job post template today.

    Why it works

    Add RushBet Mexico to the brands section and the markets list, update the brand line in the job post template, and add a short Latin America section with the EGR "Operator of the Year-North LatAm" award and Bogota and Mexico City teams.

    Partners, publishers and recruits in Mexico look for proof that RSI is committed there; a corporate site that omits the market weakens every conversation the new Mexico hires start.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Market-specific advertising limits

      Keep the corporate card factual, with no bonus offers.

    Why it works

    Give every affiliate a deep-link format per brand and market that opens the installed app on the promoted offer or the store page if not installed, with attribution kept through install. Report app-to-registration rate per partner.

    Fewer steps between click and registration lift conversion and make partner economics clearer.

    Build 90-day and 12-month value per partner, review the top 30 partners quarterly, move high-value partners to hybrid deals and cut CPA where value is low.

    Why it works

    Run a recurring match-day format: pre-match creator predictions (no odds or offers where rules forbid), live reactions, and a post-match recap clip. Measure follows, saves and site visits per match.

    A recurring format builds habit and audience faster than one-off posts, and it gives creators a clear role.

    Why it works

    Track each rival's homepage offers, sponsorships, app ratings and social growth weekly in one dashboard, with a short note on what RSI should answer.

    Fast, structured intelligence lets marketing and partnerships respond in days rather than quarters.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Data without action

      Require one decision per review.

    Evidence

    • HiringDirector, Market Intelligence and Partnerships, LatAm (Mexico, posted September 10, 2026): will "monitor and analyze market data and competitive intelligence" across RSI's Latin American markets, "Lead and manage the strategic relationship with our local partner in Mexico" and "Co-build business-centric dashboards".Source
    • Competitor researchRivals' own homepages: Caliente.mx, "Apuesta En Vivo en Liga MX, La Liga, Champions League, MLB, NFL y NBA" with streaming of "150,000 eventos"; Codere Mexico, "Bono hasta 7,000" and "Patrocinador oficial de la NFL"; BetPlay in Colombia; DraftKings in the US now sells "sports betting, prediction markets, daily fantasy sports, casino games".Source
    • HiringRSI's Greenhouse board lists 23 open roles (checked October 21, 2026), 9 of them in Bogota. Every post describes RSI's brands as "BetRivers.com, PlaySugarHouse.com, and RushBet.co". A Product Marketing intern will "Research competitor promotions" and support the Product Marketing Manager on go-to-market plans.Source

    Why it works

    Instrument each step from registration to first deposit per market and brand, find the worst drop, and fix it first (document upload, payment method, bonus opt-in).

    Every point of activation multiplies the return on affiliate and paid spend.

    Risks and how to handle them

      Improve clarity and speed, not the checks.

    Evidence

    • HiringSenior Product Manager, Technology (Colombia, and Estonia or Malta, posted October 19, 2026): sets up a solution management function across "a unified gaming platform that powers millions of player experiences", writing requirements for "registration, identity, payments, promotions, and player engagement systems" and tracking outcomes "such as activation and retention".Source
    • HiringDirector, Affiliate Marketing (remote US, posted August 24, 2026): affiliate marketing is "one of RSI's largest and fastest-growing acquisition channels" and "a critical driver of new customer acquisition".

RSI is "a mobile-first business where a majority of revenue is generated through the app", so the role drives "app installs, deep linking, app-to-registration conversion, and mobile attribution".Source

    Run the social product in one state for a quarter.

    Why it works

    Pick the two most likely next online casino states, launch the social product there with a casino partner, collect opted-in players, and convert them on launch day.

    Launch day share is won before launch; a warm list cuts acquisition cost when the market opens.

    Risks and how to handle them
