The Business Combination creates a leading online gaming company with U.S. market share in online casino that is currently among the highest in the industry and a top online sports betting offering. RSI provides customers an array of offerings, including real-money online casino wagering, online and retail sports wagering, and social gaming. RSI currently operates in six states – New Jersey, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa – as well as Colombia, and it has secured market access in three additional states, including New York, with plans to target other jurisdictions. RSI is growing quickly and has experienced a revenue increase of nearly five times from the first nine months of 2019 to the first nine months of 2020.
“Today marks a momentous milestone for RSI as we enter the public markets with a tremendous opportunity ahead of us,” said Greg Carlin, Chief Executive Officer of RSI. “With online casino and online sports betting still in the early stages in the United States, we believe there is significant growth potential for our business in both existing and new markets. Eilers & Krejcik estimates the total U.S. online casino market to be approximately $20 billion at maturity, and projects $15 billion for online sports betting. Our steadfast focus on customer experience and broad demographic reach, combined with our proprietary technology platform, provide us with what we believe are material advantages to further our leadership position as online gaming continues to mature.”
“In a finite competitive landscape with high barriers to entry and strong secular growth trends, we were impressed with what RSI has been building since 2012 and are excited to partner with Greg Carlin, Richard Schwartz and their talented team as they continue to expand their market-leading platform,” said Niccolo de Masi, Chief Executive Officer of dMY Technology Group. “Through RSI’s differentiated offerings and loyal user base driven by strong player trust and engagement, we believe RSI is ideally positioned to capitalize on the rapid growth in online casino and online sports betting. RSI is firmly committed to operational excellence, and we believe it has the best product, the best tech platform and the best customer service in the market.”
