Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, and all entities in which the Company has a controlling interest. For consolidated entities that are less than wholly owned, third-party holdings of equity interests are presented as non-controlling interests in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity. The portion of net income (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interests is presented as net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, while the portion of comprehensive income (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interests is reported as comprehensive income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The assets and liabilities of RSILP represent substantially all of the Company’s consolidated assets and liabilities, except for certain deferred taxes and liabilities under the Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”). The Company’s equity interests in RSILP, comprised of Class A Units of RSILP (the “RSILP Units”) and General Partnership Interests of RSILP, are held indirectly through wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company – RSI ASLP, Inc. (the “Special Limited Partner”) and RSI GP, LLC (“RSI GP”), respectively. RSI is deemed to have a controlling interest of RSILP through RSI GP, which is the sole general partner of RSILP. As a result, the Company consolidates the financial results of RSILP and reports a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest in RSILP held by the other members of RSILP. As of December 31, 2025, the Company owned 43.54% of the RSILP Units and the holders of the non-controlling interest 56.46% of the RSILP Units.
Neil G. Bluhm and Richard Schwartz and their respective trusts and entities controlled or beneficially owned by them (collectively, the “Controlling Holders”) together as a group control a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock. As a result, RSI is a “controlled company” under the New York Stock Exchange’s corporate governance standards.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s reported total revenues, expenses, net loss, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, total liabilities, stockholders’ equity, non-controlling interests or cash flows. No reclassifications of prior period balances were material to the consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company currently expects that its cash and positive operating cash flows will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least 12 months from the date of issuance of this report based on future spend assumptions. The Company generated cash inflows from operations of $165.0 million and $106.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and experienced cash outflows from operations of $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The Company had working capital totaling $196.5 million as of December 31, 2025.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the consolidated financial statements relate to and include, but are not limited to, the valuation of share-based awards and acquired intangibles; internally developed software; long-lived assets and investments in equity; the estimated useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets; redemption rate assumptions associated with the loyalty program and
other discretionary player bonuses; accrued expenses; determination of the incremental borrowing rate to calculate certain operating lease liabilities and finance lease liabilities; and deferred taxes and amounts associated with the TRA entered into in connection with the closing on December 29, 2020 of the Business Combination (the “Closing”).
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one operating segment.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid, unrestricted savings, checking, instant access internet banking accounts, money market funds and certificates of deposits with original maturities of 90 days or less at acquisition.
Restricted cash includes any cash and cash equivalents held by the Company that are legally restricted as to withdrawals or usage. This consists of certain deposits that are restricted under regulatory requirements. Regardless of whether customer deposits are legally restricted, the Company maintains separate bank accounts to segregate cash that resides in customers’ accounts from operational funds.
The following table reconciles cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets to the totals shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows:
December 31,
($ in thousands)20252024

Restricted cash4,248 3,585 
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$340,504 $232,756 
(1) The Company had cash equivalents of $157.5 million and $117.7 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Cash equivalents are composed of money market funds and certificates of deposits with original maturities of 90 days or less. Money market funds of $113.2 million and $107.5 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, are valued using quoted market prices at period-end.
Players’ Receivables
Players’ receivables consist of cash deposits from customers that the Company has not yet received. Players’ receivables are reported at the amount that the Company expects to collect from customers, generally via third-party payment processors. These receivables arise due to the timing difference between a customer’s deposit and the Company’s receipt of that deposit from the payment processor. The amounts are generally outstanding for a short period of time. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its players’ receivables and establishes an allowance for credit losses based on a specific review of the accounts as well as historical collection experience and current economic conditions. No allowance for credit losses was recorded for the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.
Due from Affiliates
Due from affiliates consists of amounts that are expected to be collected from certain affiliated land-based casino partners. In certain cases, the affiliate casino maintains the bank account that processes cash deposits and withdrawals for RSI customers. Accordingly, at any point in time, the Company will record a receivable from the affiliate, representing the Company’s total revenue (with RSI customers) that was collected by the affiliate, less consideration payable to the affiliate for use of its license, which is offset by any consideration received from the affiliate based on the terms of the applicable agreement. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates the collectability of amounts due from affiliates and establishes an allowance for amounts not expected to be collected. No allowance was recorded for the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. See Note 12 for disclosure on related parties.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist primarily of prepaid expenses and short-term investments. Prepaid expenses consist of various advance payments for goods or services to be received in the future. These costs include insurance, subscriptions, marketing, other contracted services and deposits paid in advance. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had prepaid expenses of $9.5 million and $5.5 million, respectively.
Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposits with original maturities greater than three months but not greater than one year. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had short-term investments of $6.2 million and $4.3 million, respectively.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. Leasehold improvements depreciation is computed over the shorter of the remaining lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Additions and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Useful lives of each asset class are as follows:
AssetUseful Life
Computers, software and related equipment
3 years
Furniture and fixtures
4 years
Operating equipment and servers
5 years
Leasehold improvements
Lesser of the lease terms or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, generally 1–10 years
Intangible Assets, Net
License Fees, Net
The Company incurs costs in connection with operating in certain jurisdictions, including license applications fees, upfront or fixed market access payments to strategic partners and related renewals or extensions. These costs are capitalized as an intangible asset and amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset using the straight-line method. In certain markets, the Company agrees to pay minimum market access royalties to its partner, which is considered an integral cost in connection with operating in certain jurisdictions. The Company records fixed minimum royalty payments as intangible assets with an offset to deferred royalty liabilities, both of which are included on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s access to operate in a particular market is often dependent upon the continued viability of its strategic partner in that market. The useful life is the period over which the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the Company’s cash flows. The remaining useful life of license fee intangible assets is evaluated at least annually.
Internally Developed Software
Software that is developed for internal use is accounted for pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software. Qualifying costs incurred to develop internal-use software are capitalized when (i) the preliminary project stage is completed, (ii) management has authorized further funding for the completion of the project and (iii) it is probable that the project will be completed and perform as intended. These capitalized costs include compensation for employees who develop internal-use software and external costs related to development and implementation of internal-use software. Capitalization of these costs ceases once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended purpose. Internally developed software is amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of three years. All other expenditures, including those incurred to maintain an intangible asset’s current level of performance, are expensed as incurred.
Developed Technology
The Company capitalizes acquired intellectual property as developed technology intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350-30, General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill. The assets are recognized in Intangible assets, net, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the estimated useful life of four to eight years using the straight-line method.
Other Intangibles
The Company capitalizes costs associated with the purchases of trademarks, software licenses and customer lists, and the development and production of media content in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. The assets are included in Intangible assets, net, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and are amortized over the estimated useful life of one to five years using the straight-line method.
Investments in Equity
The Company accounts for investments in equity that are within the scope of ASC 321-10, Investments - Equity Securities (“ASC 321-10”), as either (1) investments with a readily determinable fair value, which are recorded at fair value or (2) investments without a readily determinable fair value, which are recorded at cost less any impairment. Equity investments that are initially concluded to not have a readily determinable fair value are reassessed at each reporting period. If the Company identifies observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer, it measures the equity security at fair value as of the date that the observable transaction occurred using valuation techniques that are permitted under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had investments in equity of $2.0 million. The equity investments are accounted for in accordance with ASC 321-10, and the Company accounts for the equity investments at cost less impairment because there are no readily determinable fair values for these investments as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. No impairment was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The investments are recognized in Other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company’s long-lived assets primarily consist of property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, finance lease right-of-use assets and finite-lived intangible assets (i.e., license fees, internally developed software, developed technology and other intangibles).
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for indicators of impairment quarterly or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The factors that would be considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the long-lived asset is used and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. If indicators of impairment are identified, the Company performs an undiscounted cash flow analysis of the long-lived assets. Asset groups are written down only to the extent that their carrying value is lower than their respective fair value. Fair values of the asset group are determined by discounting the cash flows at a rate that approximates the cost of capital of a market participant.
Players’ Liabilities
The Company’s players’ liabilities include liabilities for customer account balances, incremental progressive jackpot reserves, and expected future payouts relating to customers’ unredeemed bonus store points and unused discretionary bonus incentives. Customer cash account balances consist of customer deposits, cash winnings and pending cash wagers, less customer cash losses, withdrawals and tax withholdings. The Company’s restricted cash balance, players’ receivables balance and the value of surety bonds held for the benefit of customers will equal or exceed the customer cash account balances.
Deferred Royalty
The Company records liabilities for minimum royalty payments related to licensing and market access agreements. These liabilities are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at the present value of future payments discounted using a rate that reflects the duration of the applicable agreement. The deferred royalty liability is accreted through interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company classifies deferred royalty liabilities as either current or non-current liabilities based on the timing of future payments, and amounts are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets under Other current liabilities or Other non-current liabilities, depending on their classification.
Surety Bonds
The Company had been issued $31.3 million and $31.1 million in surety bonds as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, that are used to satisfy regulatory requirements related to securing cash held for the benefit of customers. Additionally, the Company had also been issued $6.4 million and $6.1 million in surety bonds as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, to satisfy regulatory requirements necessary to operate in certain jurisdictions.
There have been no claims against any of the Company’s surety bonds and the likelihood of future claims is remote.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of operating cash, restricted cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. The Company maintains cash, restricted cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments within separate bank accounts across multiple financial institutions. Any loss incurred, or a lack of access, to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Although the Company maintains balances with certain institutions in excess of the federally insured limits, the Company is not subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts.
Leases
The Company determines whether an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception. The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, under which arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or finance leases and are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as both a right-of-use asset and a lease liability.
The Company elects to apply the practical expedient that allows for the combination of lease and non-lease components for all asset classes. The lease classification evaluation begins at the lease commencement date. The lease term used in the evaluation includes the non-cancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset, together with renewal option periods when the exercise of the renewal option is reasonably certain.
For leases with an initial term greater than 12 months, a related lease liability is recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at the present value of future payments discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease and if not determinable, the estimated fully collateralized incremental borrowing rate (discount rate) corresponding with the lease term. In addition, a right-of-use asset is recorded as the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any lease payments made to the lessor before or at the lease commencement date and any initial direct costs incurred, less any tenant improvement allowance incentives received. Tenant incentives are amortized through the right-of-use asset as a reduction of lease expense over the lease term. The difference between the minimum rents paid and the straight-line rent is reflected within the associated right-of-use asset. Certain leases contain provisions that require variable payments consisting of common area maintenance costs (i.e., variable lease cost). Variable lease costs are expensed as incurred. The Company made an accounting policy election to exclude any short-term lease (i.e., leases with a term of twelve months or less) from the balance sheets. Short-term lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
When the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate corresponding with the lease term. As the Company does not have any outstanding debt, this rate is determined based on prevailing market conditions and comparable company and credit analysis. The discount rate is reassessed upon a modification that is not accounted for as a separate contract.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
Identify the contract with the customer
Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Determine the transaction price
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation
The Company’s revenue from contracts with customers consists of online casino, online sports betting, retail sports betting and social gaming.
Online casino and online sports betting
Online casino offerings typically include the full suite of games available in land-based casinos, such as table games (i.e., blackjack and roulette), slot machines and poker games. The Company generates revenue from these offerings (other than online poker) through hold, or gross winnings, as customers play against the house. Online casino revenue other than from online poker is generated based on total customer bets less amounts paid to customers for winning bets, less other incentives awarded to customers, plus or minus the change in the progressive jackpot liability. Online casino revenue from online poker is recognized as rake (i.e., percentage of a game’s wagers earned by the Company for satisfying the performance obligation) less any value given back to players, which could be in the form of cash, tournament tickets or other form of bonuses.
Online sports betting involves a user placing a bet on the outcome of a sporting event, sports-related activity, or a series of the same, with the chance to win a pre-determined amount, often referred to as fixed odds. Online sports betting revenue is generated by setting odds such that there is a built-in theoretical margin in each bet offered to customers. Online sports betting revenue is generated based on total customer bets less amounts paid to customers for winning bets, less other incentives awarded to customers, plus or minus the change in unsettled bets.
The Company provides various incentives to promote customer engagement, many of which allow customers to place bets without using their own funds. For some incentive programs, benefits are provided to customers based only on past play and represent an option that grants the customer a material right. Other benefits that are provided to customers are more discretionary in nature and may not be related to the customer’s level of play.
Performance obligations related to online gaming (other than from online poker) and sports betting transactions include (1) servicing the customer’s bet, which is fulfilled when the outcome of the bet is known and (2) transferring additional goods or services to a player for which the Company has received consideration, such as bonus store points or other discretionary bonus incentives. The Company’s performance obligations related to online poker include operating games and tournaments in compliance with established rules, calculating results, and distributing payouts based on those results.
Bonus store points as well as discretionary bonus incentives, such as bonus money and bonus bets (collectively referred to herein as “customer bonuses”) are recognized as a reduction to revenue upon issuance of the incentive and as revenue upon redemption by the customer. Reductions to revenue include estimates for the stand-alone selling price of customer bonuses and the percentage of customer bonuses that are expected to be redeemed. The expected redemption percentage is based on historical redemption patterns and considers current information or trends. The estimated redemption rate is evaluated each reporting period. The Company does not believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions used to calculate the estimated redemption rate. Adjustments to earnings resulting from revisions to management’s estimates of the redemption rates have not been material during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Progressive jackpots related to online casino jackpot games are accrued and charged to revenue at the time the obligation to pay the jackpot is established. The progressive jackpot liability is recorded in Players’ liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
Retail sports betting
The Company provides retail sports services to land-based partners in exchange for a monthly commission based on that partner’s retail sportsbook revenue. Services generally include ongoing management and oversight of the retail sportsbook, technical support for the partner’s customers, risk management, advertising and promotion, and support for third-party vendors’ sports betting equipment. The Company has a single performance obligation to provide retail sports services and records the revenue as services are performed and when the commission amounts are no longer constrained (i.e., the amount is known).
Certain relationships with business partners provide the Company the ability to operate the retail sportsbook. In this scenario, revenue is generated based on total customer bets less amounts paid to customers for winning bets, less other incentives awarded to customers, plus or minus the change in unsettled retail sports bets and unclaimed retail tickets for settled retail bets.
Social gaming
The Company provides a social gaming platform for users to enjoy free-to-play games that use virtual credits. While virtual credits are issued to users for free, some users may choose, where permitted, to purchase additional virtual credits through the Company’s virtual cashier. The Company has a single performance obligation associated with social gaming services, to provide social gaming services to users upon the redemption of virtual credits. Deferred revenue is recorded when users purchase virtual credits and revenue is recognized when the virtual credits are redeemed, and the Company’s performance obligation has been fulfilled.
Certain costs to obtain or fulfill contracts
Pursuant to the accounting guidance, certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer must be capitalized to the extent recoverable from the associated contract margin, and subsequently amortized as the products or services are delivered to the customer. These costs are capitalized as contract acquisition costs and are amortized over the period of benefit to the customer. For the Company, the period of benefit has been determined to be less than or equal to one year. As such, the Company applied the practical expedient and contract acquisition costs are expensed immediately. Customer contract costs that do not qualify for capitalization as contract fulfillment costs are expensed as incurred.
Contract balances
Contract assets and liabilities represent the differences in timing between the fulfillment of the Company's performance obligations and the receipt of cash from the Company’s customers. The Company does not have material contract assets. The Company’s contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue.
Deferred revenue represents wagered amounts that relate to unsettled or pending outcomes, such as a future sports bet. The Company recognizes revenue once the outcome of the bet is settled and fixed. Deferred revenue also includes contract liabilities for the Company’s obligation to transfer additional goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration, such as bonus store points. The Company recognizes breakage on these liabilities proportionately as redemption occurs. Revenue recognized relating to breakage during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was not material to the consolidated financial statements.
Deferred revenue relating to unsettled customer bets and unredeemed customer incentives is recorded in Players’ liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
Deferred revenue relating to the Company’s social gaming services includes virtual credits purchased by users but not yet redeemed and is recorded in Other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
Principal versus agent considerations
The Company evaluates the criteria outlined in ASC 606-10-55, Principal versus Agent Considerations, in determining whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of revenues and related costs, or the net amount earned as commissions. When the Company is the principal in a transaction and controls the specific good or service before it is transferred to the customer, revenue is recorded gross; otherwise, revenue is recorded on a net basis. The Company controls
the promised goods or services for online casino and sports betting transactions, retail sports betting transactions and social gaming services, and as a result records related revenue on a gross basis. For retail sports service arrangements, the Company does not control the promised goods or services and, therefore, records the net amount of revenue earned as a commission.
Costs of Revenue
Costs of revenue consist primarily of (i) revenue share and market access fees, which is reduced by any consideration received from the vendor, (ii) third-party platform and content fees, (iii) gaming taxes, (iv) payment processing fees and chargebacks and (v) salaries, bonuses, benefits and share-based compensation for dedicated personnel. These costs are primarily variable in nature and should, in large part, correlate with the change in revenue. Revenue share and market access fees consist primarily of variable amounts paid to local land-based partners that hold the applicable gaming license, providing the Company the ability to offer real-money online offerings in the respective jurisdictions. The Company’s third-party platform and content fees are primarily driven by costs associated with third-party casino content, data and streaming, sports betting trading services, geolocation, know-your-customer and platform hosting. Gaming taxes include jurisdictional taxes that are determined based on a percentage of revenue (or similar metrics) or excise taxes that are determined based on a percentage of bets placed. The Company incurs payment processing costs on player deposits, withdrawals and occasionally chargebacks (i.e., when a payment processor contractually disallows customer deposits in the normal course of business).
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing costs consist primarily of marketing the Company’s products and services via different channels, promotional activities and the related costs incurred to acquire new customers. These costs also include salaries, bonuses, benefits and share-based compensation for dedicated personnel and are expensed as incurred.
General and Administrative
General and administrative costs consist primarily of administrative personnel costs (including salaries, bonuses, benefits and share-based compensation), professional service fees related to legal, compliance, accounting and consulting, indirect technology costs, rent expense, insurance costs, indirect taxes in foreign jurisdictions, and foreign exchange gains or losses.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company records share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, and recognizes share-based compensation expense in the period in which a grantee is required to provide service, which is generally over the vesting period of the individual share-based payment award. Compensation expense for awards with performance conditions is not recognized until it is probable that the performance target will be achieved. Compensation expense for awards is recognized over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
The Company classifies unit awards as either an equity award or a liability award depending on whether the award contains certain repurchase provisions. Equity-classified awards are valued as of the grant date based upon the price of the underlying unit or share and a number of assumptions, including volatility, performance period, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Liability-classified awards are valued at fair value at each reporting date.
Income Taxes
Rush Street Interactive, Inc. is a corporation and, as a result, is subject to U.S. federal, state and foreign income taxes.
RSILP is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore does not pay U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income. Instead, the RSILP unitholders, including the Company, are liable for U.S. federal income tax on their respective shares of RSILP’s taxable income reported on the unitholders’ U.S. federal income tax returns. RSILP is liable for income taxes in those states not recognizing its status as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated by applying existing tax laws and the rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the year of the enacted rate change.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent it believes these assets are more-likely-than-not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations.
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a recognition and measurement threshold for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, which are subject to examination by applicable taxing authorities. The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on technical merits of the position. The amount of the tax benefit recognized is the largest amount of the benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The effective tax rate and the tax basis of assets and liabilities reflect management’s estimates of the ultimate outcome of various tax uncertainties. The Company recognizes penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions within Income tax (benefit) expense line in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Tax Receivable Agreement
In connection with the Business Combination, the Special Limited Partner entered into the TRA, which generally provides for the payment by it of 85% of certain net tax benefits, if any, that the Company (including the Special Limited Partner) realize (or in certain cases is deemed to realize) as a result of these increases in tax basis and tax benefits related to the transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement and the exchange of Retained RSILP Units for Class A Common Stock (or cash at the Company’s option) pursuant to the RSILP A&R LPA and tax benefits related to entering into the TRA, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the TRA. These payments are the obligation of the Special Limited Partner and not of RSILP. The actual increase in the Special Limited Partner’s allocable share of RSILP’s tax basis in its assets, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the TRA, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of exchanges, the market price of the Class A Common Stock at the time of the exchange and the amount and timing of the recognition of the Company’s and its consolidated subsidiaries’ (including the Special Limited Partner’s) income. While many of the factors that will determine the amount of payments that the Special Limited Partner will make under the TRA are outside of the Company’s control, the Company expects that the payments the Special Limited Partner will make under the TRA will be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.
The Company evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets resulting from the exchange of RSILP Units for Class A Common Stock. If the deferred tax assets are determined to be realizable, the Company then assesses whether payment of amounts under the TRA have become probable. If so, the Company records a TRA liability, generally equal to 85% of such deferred tax assets. In subsequent periods, the Company assesses the realizability of all of its deferred tax assets subject to the TRA. Should it be determined that a deferred tax asset with a valuation allowance is realizable in a subsequent period, the related valuation allowance will be released and consideration of a corresponding TRA liability will be assessed. The realizability of deferred tax assets, including those subject to the TRA, is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those deferred tax assets become deductible and consideration of prudent and feasible tax-planning strategies.
The measurement of the TRA liability is accounted for as a contingent liability. Therefore, once the Company determines that a payment becomes probable and can be estimated, the estimate of the payment are accrued. The Company classifies recognized TRA liability as either current or non-current liabilities based on the timing of future payments, and amounts are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets under Other current liabilities or Tax receivable agreement liability, non-current, depending on their classification.
The costs or adjustment to costs associated with the recognition of the TRA liability is recorded in Change in tax receivable agreement liability on the consolidated statements of operations. This cost or adjustment reflects changes in the estimated future payments under the TRA attributable to RSILP Unit exchanges completed prior to June 30, 2025. These
prior exchanges increased the Company’s tax basis in its share of RSILP’s underlying assets, giving rise to expected tax savings and corresponding TRA liability. RSILP Unit exchanges occurring after June 30, 2025 will not result in change in tax receivable agreement liability, as the associated increase in tax basis and the resulting TRA liability will be accounted for as equity transactions.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to RSI by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the same period.
Diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to RSI, adjusted for the assumed exchange of all potentially dilutive securities, by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive shares. The dilutive effect of outstanding awards or financial instruments, if any, is reflected in diluted earnings (loss) per share by application of the treasury stock method or if-converted method, as applicable.
Foreign Currency
The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar while the functional currency of subsidiaries not deemed to be the U.S. dollar includes the Colombian Peso, Mexican Peso, Canadian Dollar and Peruvian Soles. The financial statements of non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, using period-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities, and average exchange rates for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses and historical exchange rates for equity. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining other comprehensive income (loss).
If transactions are recorded in a currency other than the subsidiary’s functional currency, remeasurement into the functional currency is required and may result in transaction gains or losses. Transaction (losses) gains were $(0.9) million, $(3.8) million and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Amounts are recorded in General and administrative on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements are based on the premise that fair value is an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the following three-tier fair value hierarchy has been used in determining the inputs used in measuring fair value:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities on the reporting date.
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Pricing inputs are generally unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require management’s judgment or estimation of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. The fair values are therefore determined using factors that involve considerable judgment and interpretations, including but not limited to private and public comparables, third-party appraisals, discounted cash flow model and fund manager estimates.
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair values. Accordingly,
the fair value estimates disclosed or initial amounts recorded may not be indicative of the amount that the Company or holders of the instruments could realize in a current market exchange.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the recorded values of current assets and current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance the transparency, decision usefulness and effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require a public entity to disclose a tabular tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and currency, with specific categories. A public entity is also required to provide a qualitative description of the states and local jurisdictions that make up the majority of the effect of the state and local income tax category and the net amount of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and also disaggregated by individual jurisdictions. The amendments also remove certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial. This ASU is effective for the Company in calendar year 2025. See Note 9, “Income Taxes” for additional information on the Company’s adoption of ASU 2023-09.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, to modernize the accounting guidance for the costs to develop software for internal use. ASU 2025-06 amends the existing standard that refers to various stages of a software development project to align better with current software development methods, such as agile programming. Under the new standard, entities will commence capitalizing eligible costs when (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the intended function. The new standard also supersedes the guidance related to costs incurred to develop a website. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update permit an entity to apply the new guidance using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. The Company early adopted ASU 2025-06 on a prospective basis effective for fiscal year beginning January 1, 2026 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The ASU requires the disclosure of additional information related to certain costs and expenses, including amounts of inventory purchases, employee compensation, and depreciation and amortization included in each income statement line item. The ASU also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and definition of selling expenses. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which provides clarifications intended to improve the consistency and usability of interim disclosure requirements, including a comprehensive listing of required interim disclosures and a new disclosure principle for reporting material events occurring after the most recent annual period. The amendments do not change the underlying objectives of interim reporting but are designed to enhance clarity in application. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its interim consolidated financial statements and does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on its interim consolidated financial statements.

The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has the authority to issue shares of preferred stock at any time and from time to time, to provide, out of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock, for one or more series of Preferred Stock and, with respect to each such series, to fix the number of shares constituting such series and the designation of such series, the voting powers (if any) of the shares of such series, and the powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the shares of such series and to cause to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of designations with respect thereto. The powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding.

Each holder of record of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote or holders of Common Stock as a separate class are entitled to vote, including the election or removal of directors (whether voting separately as a class or together with one or more classes of the Company’s capital stock); provided, however, that to the fullest extent permitted by law, holders of Common Stock shall have no voting power with respect to, and shall not be entitled to vote on, any amendment to the Company’s Second A&R Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Company’s Second A&R Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law. The holders
of Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock having the right to vote in respect of such Common Stock shall vote together as a single class (or if the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of Common Stock having the right to vote in respect of such Common Stock, as a single class with the holders of such other series of Preferred Stock) on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders having voting rights generally.
Dividend Rights
Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock or any class or series of stock having a preference over or the right to participate with the Class A Common Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and other distributions in cash, stock of any corporation or property of the Company, the holders of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive ratably such dividends and other distributions as may from time to time be declared by the Board in its discretion out of the assets of the Company that are by law available therefor at such times and in such amounts as the Board in its discretion shall determine.
Dividends and other distributions shall not be declared or paid on the Class V Common Stock.
Rights Upon Liquidation
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Company and of the preferential and other amounts, if any, to which the holders of Preferred Stock or any class or series of stock having a preference over the Class A Common Stock as to distributions upon dissolution or liquidation or winding up shall be entitled, the holders of all outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution ratably in proportion to the number of shares held by each such stockholder. The holders of shares of Class V Common Stock shall not be entitled to receive any assets of the Company in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company.
Cancellation of Class V Common Stock
In the event that any outstanding share of Class V Common Stock shall cease to be held directly or indirectly by the holder of the corresponding RSILP Unit, as set forth in the books and records of RSILP, including by virtue of any divestiture by such holder of such corresponding RSILP Unit, such share of Class V Common Stock shall automatically and without further action on the part of the Company or any holder of Class V Common Stock be transferred to the Company and canceled for no consideration. The Company shall not issue additional shares of Class V Common Stock after the Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination, other than in connection with the valid issuance of RSILP Units in accordance with the RSILP A&R LPA.
Other Rights
If the Company at any time combines or subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, amendment of the Company’s Second A&R Certificate of Incorporation, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, the shares of Class V Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately similarly combined or subdivided such that the ratio of shares of outstanding Class V Common Stock to shares of outstanding Class A Common Stock immediately prior to such subdivision shall be maintained immediately after such combination or subdivision. Any such adjustment shall become effective at the close of business on the date the combination or subdivision becomes effective.
Non-Controlling Interest
The non-controlling interest represents the RSILP Units held by holders other than the Company. The non-controlling interests’ ownership percentage can fluctuate over time as the holders of the RSILP Units elect to exchange for Class A Common Stock. The Company consolidates the financial position and results of operations of RSILP and reflects the proportionate interest held by the holders of RSILP Units other than the Company as non-controlling interest.
The non-controlling interests owned 56.46% and 60.00% of the RSILP Units outstanding as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The following table summarizes the changes in non-controlling interests owned:

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities
The Company’s deferred tax position reflects the net tax effects of the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting. Significant components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

Deferred tax liabilities:
Investment in subsidiaries(704)(369)
Total gross deferred tax liabilities(704)(369)
Net deferred tax assets$157,158 $153 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities have been offset to the extent they relate to the same tax jurisdiction. Deferred tax liabilities of $0.7 million and $0.4 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, are included in Other non-current liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $64.7 million and $76.1 million of federal and state net operating loss carryovers, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $92.1 million and $81.1 million of federal and state net operating loss carryovers, respectively. If not utilized, the entire federal net operating loss carryforward can be carried forward indefinitely. State net operating loss carryovers will expire in varying amounts beginning in 2032. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has foreign net operating losses of nil and approximately $5.6 million, respectively. Additionally, the Company has foreign tax credits of $14.6 million which will begin expiring in 2034.
On a quarterly basis, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of its deferred tax asset and adjusts the valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset may not be realized. As of December 31, 2025, management determined that there is sufficient positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets of $157.9 million, primarily in the U.S., are realizable. For purposes of forecasting taxable income, the Company relied on historical pre-tax earnings trends and incorporated assumptions about future performance that are expected to impact pre-tax results. These historical results support the expectation that the Company will generate taxable income in future periods. The Company did not recognize all U.S. deferred tax assets because the Company determined that a portion of excess income tax basis in RSILP will only reverse upon the occurrence of certain events, such as a sale of the Company’s interest in RSILP, none of which are expected to occur in the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2025, the valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets is $82.0 million.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. Congress passed budget reconciliation bill H.R. 1, referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill (“OBBB”). The OBBB contains several changes to corporate taxation including modifications to capitalization of research and development expenses, limitations on deductions for interest expense and accelerated fixed asset depreciation. The Company has evaluated OBBB and determined that it does not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (the “OECD”) established an Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting and agreed on a two-pillar solution (“Pillar Two”) to global taxation,
focusing on global profit allocation and a 15% global minimum effective tax rate. On December 15, 2022, the European Union member states agreed to implement the OECD’s global minimum tax rate of 15%. The OECD issued Pillar Two model rules and continues to release guidance on these rules. The Inclusive Framework called for tax law changes by participating countries to take effect in 2024 and 2025. In response, a number of countries enacted tax laws to implement the global minimum tax. On January 5, 2026 the OECD issued a Side-by-Side package on Pillar Two which provides additional safe harbors and simplifications which may be adopted by participating countries. The Company evaluated Pillar Two in the relevant countries, and there is no impact to the tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of these tax law changes on future reporting periods.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company evaluates its tax positions and recognizes tax benefits that, more-likely-than-not, will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025 or 2024. The Company filed an initial year federal and state tax returns for tax year 2020, which was the first tax year subject to examination by taxing authorities. Additionally, although RSILP is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and state income taxes purposes, it is still required to file an annual U.S. Return of Partnership Income, which is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The statute of limitations has expired for tax years through 2021 for RSILP.
Tax Receivable Agreement
Pursuant to RSILP’s election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended from time to time (the “Code”), the Company expects to obtain an increase in share of the tax basis in the net assets of RSILP when RSILP Units are redeemed or exchanged by the unit holders and other qualifying transactions. The Company plans to make an election under Code Section 754 for each taxable year in which a redemption or exchange of RSILP Units occur. The Company intends to treat any redemptions and exchanges of RSILP Units by the unit holders as direct purchases of RSILP Units for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amounts that the Company would otherwise pay in the future to various tax authorities. These increases in tax basis may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.
In connection with the Business Combination, the Special Limited Partner entered into the TRA, which generally provides for the payment by it of 85% of certain net tax benefits, if any, that the Company (including the Special Limited Partner) realizes (or in certain cases is deemed to realize) as a result of an increase in tax basis and tax benefits related to the transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement and the exchange of Retained RSILP Units (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) for Class A Common Stock (or cash at the Company’s option) pursuant to RSILP’s amended and restated limited partnership agreement and tax benefits related to entering into the TRA, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the TRA. These payments are the obligation of the Special Limited Partner and not of RSILP. The actual increase in the Special Limited Partner’s allocable share of RSILP’s tax basis in its assets, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the TRA, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of exchanges, the market price of the Class A Common Stock at the time of the exchange and the amount and timing of the recognition of RSI and its consolidated subsidiaries’ (including the Special Limited Partner’s) income. While many of the factors that will determine the amount of payments that the Special Limited Partner will make under the Tax Receivable Agreement are outside of the Company's control, the Company expects that the payments the Special Limited Partner will make under the TRA will be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.
Based primarily on the three-year cumulative income analysis and anticipated future earnings, management has determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to utilize its deferred tax assets subject to the TRA. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized a TRA liability of $130.1 million (including $1.2 million classified as current liability) and $0.7 million, respectively, based on tax benefits realized in the current and prior tax year. Unrecognized TRA liability was nil and $104.3 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Change in tax receivable agreement liability of $107.8 million and $0.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, was recorded upon recognition of the TRA liability. The increase in the liability is primarily due to the issuance of Class A Common Stock upon RSILP Unit exchanges.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings (Loss) Per Share Earnings (Loss) Per Share 
Basic earnings (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to RSI by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to RSI, adjusted for the assumed exchange of all potentially dilutive securities, by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive shares.
The computation of earnings (loss) per share attributable to RSI and weighted-average shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 are as follows (amounts in thousands, except for share and per share amounts):

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Reporting Segment Reporting
An operating segment is a component of an entity that: (i) engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses; (ii) has discrete financial information available; and (iii) is regularly reviewed by the entity’s CODM for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation.

The Company’s CODM is its chief executive officer. The Company manages its operations as a single operating segment that engages in online gaming and retail sports betting business activities. The Company derives its revenues from its gaming offerings such as real-money online casino, online sports betting and retail sports betting (i.e., sports betting services provided at bricks-and-mortar locations), as well as social gaming, which involves free-to-play games using virtual credits that user can earn or purchase (where permitted). The accounting policies for this segment are consistent with those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

The Company’s CODM regularly reviews financial information of the single operating segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. The CODM uses consolidated net income (loss) to allocate resources and assess the performance of the Company by comparing actual results to historical results and previously forecasted financial information. Consolidated net income (loss) is also reviewed to assess whether and when to reinvest profits, for example, expanding into new jurisdictions, acquiring businesses or distributing dividends. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total consolidated assets.
The Company’s revenue, significant expenses and net income (loss) for its consolidated segment are as follows:

Prior to the Business Combination, RSILP’s principal unit holders included Neil G. Bluhm, Executive Chairman, and NGB 2013 Grandchildren’s Dynasty Trust (collectively, “Bluhm and Trust”) and Gregory A. Carlin, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and former vice chairman, and Greg and Marcy Carlin Family Trust (collectively, “Carlin and Trust”). Bluhm and Trust and Carlin and Trust had interests in RSILP of approximately 73% and 20%, respectively. Both Bluhm and Trust and Carlin and Trust are the owners of the Sellers’ Representative, which had an interest of approximately 1% in RSILP.
Neil Bluhm and Richard Schwartz, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, maintain ownership in RSILP and collectively have control over its governance and general operations. At the Closing, the Company and RSI GP entered into the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of RSI GP, pursuant to which, among other things, the parties established a board of managers of RSI GP, which is initially comprised of Neil Bluhm, Gregory Carlin and Richard Schwartz, to direct and exercise control over all activities of RSI GP, including RSI GP’s right to manage and control RSILP. As of December 31, 2025, Neil Bluhm and Richard Schwartz remain on the board of managers of RSI GP.
Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of RSILP
At the Closing, the Company, the Special Limited Partner, RSI GP, RSILP and the Sellers entered into the RSILP A&R LPA.
Management
RSI GP, as the general partner of RSILP following the Closing, has the sole authority to manage the business, property and affairs of RSILP in accordance with the RSILP A&R LPA or applicable law, including laws relating to gaming. The RSILP A&R LPA provides that the general partner cannot be removed or replaced except with the consent of a majority in interests of the partners of RSILP and the Company. The rights of the general partner’s board of managers are governed by the general partner’s limited liability company agreement, which may be amended or modified from time to time by the Company.
Tax Distributions
The RSILP A&R LPA provides quarterly tax distributions payable in accordance with the RSILP A&R LPA to the holders of RSILP Units on a pro rata basis based upon an agreed-upon formula related to the taxable income of RSILP allocable to holders of RSILP Units. Generally, these tax distributions will be computed based on RSILP’s estimate of the taxable income of RSILP allocable to each holder of RSILP Units (based on certain assumptions) multiplied by an assumed tax rate equal to the highest effective marginal combined U.S. federal, state and local income tax rate prescribed for an individual or corporation resident in Illinois, subject to various adjustments. Distributions, including tax distributions, will be made to holders of RSILP Units on a pro rata basis.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, RSILP paid a tax distribution of $0.7 million to holders of RSILP Units other than Rush Street Interactive, Inc., and the state tax authorities. No tax distributions were paid during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Transfer Restrictions
The RSILP A&R LPA contains restrictions on transfers of units and requires the prior consent of the general partner for such transfers, except, in each case, for certain transfers to permitted transferees under certain conditions and exchanges of RSILP Units for shares of Class A Common Stock after the six-month anniversary of the Closing.
Exchange of RSILP Units for Class A Common Stock
The Sellers are, up to four times per calendar year, able to exchange all or any portion of their RSILP Units, together with the cancellation of an equal number of shares of Class V Common Stock, for a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of exchanged RSILP Units by delivering a written notice to RSILP, with a copy to the Special Limited Partner; provided that no holder of RSILP Units may exchange less than 1,000 RSILP Units in any single exchange unless exchanging all of the RSILP Units held by such holder at such time, subject in each case to the limitations
and requirements set forth in the RSILP A&R LPA regarding such exchanges. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Limited Partner may, at its sole discretion, in lieu of delivering shares of Class A Common Stock for any RSILP Units surrendered for exchange, pay an amount in cash per RSILP Unit equal to the 5-day VWAP of the Class A Common Stock on the date of the receipt of the written notice of the exchange.
Exchange Ratio
For each RSILP Unit exchanged, one share of Class V Common Stock will be canceled, and one share of Class A Common Stock will be issued to the exchanging member. If the Class A Common Stock is converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, on any subsequent exchange an exchanging RSI Unit holder will be entitled to receive such security, securities or other property.
Restrictions on Exchange
In certain circumstances, RSI GP may limit the rights of holders of RSILP Units to exchange their RSILP Units under the RSILP A&R LPA if RSI GP determines in good faith that such restrictions are necessary so that RSILP will not be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” under applicable tax laws and regulations.
Affiliated Land-Based Casinos
Neil Bluhm and his adult children (including Ms. Leslie Bluhm, a member of the Board), through their individual capacities, entities or trusts that they have created for the benefit of themselves or their family members, and Greg Carlin, through his individual capacity, entities or trusts that he has created for the benefit of himself or his family members, are direct or indirect owners, directors and/or officers of certain land-based casinos. The Company has entered into certain agreements with these affiliated land-based casinos that create strategic partnerships and/or joint ventures aimed to capture the online gaming, online sports betting and retail sports services markets in the various states and municipalities where the land-based casinos operate.
Generally, the Company pays a royalty fee to the land-based casino (calculated as a percentage of the Company’s revenue less reimbursable costs as defined in the agreement) in exchange for the right to operate real-money online casino and/or online sports betting under the gaming license of the land-based casinos. Royalties related to arrangements with affiliated casinos were $72.9 million, $66.1 million and $49.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which were net of any consideration received from the affiliated casino for reimbursable costs, as well as costs that are paid directly by the affiliate casino on the Company’s behalf. Net royalties paid are recorded as costs of revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. In certain cases, the affiliate casino maintains the bank account that processes cash deposits and withdrawals for RSI customers. Accordingly, at any point in time, the Company will record a receivable from the affiliate, representing RSI total gaming revenue (with RSI customers) that was collected by the affiliate, less consideration payable to the affiliate for use of its license, which is offset by any consideration received from the affiliate based on the terms of the agreement. Receivables due from affiliated land-based casinos were $19.9 million and $18.2 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
In addition, the Company provides retail sports services to certain affiliated land-based casinos in exchange for a monthly commission based on the land-based casino’s retail sportsbook revenue. Services include ongoing management and oversight of the retail sportsbook, technical support for the land-based casino’s customers, customer support, risk management, advertising and promotion, and support for the third-party vendor’s sports betting equipment. Revenue recognized relating to retail sports services provided to affiliated land-based casinos during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were not material to the consolidated financial statements. Any payables due to the affiliated land-based casinos are netted against affiliate receivables to the extent a right of offset exists, yet such amounts were not material to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]
Our process for identifying, assessing and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats is part of our broader risk management system and processes. We use a risk management framework based on applicable laws and regulations and informed by industry standards and industry-recognized practices, for managing cybersecurity risks within our offerings, infrastructure and corporate resources. As part of our risk management process, we conduct application security assessments, vulnerability management, penetration testing, security audits and risk assessments. We also maintain a variety of incident response plans, playbooks and processes that are utilized if and when incidents are detected.

In addition, we have processes in place to govern our third-party vendor security risks. We generally gather information, either through independent research or through questionnaires, regarding certain third parties who contract with the Company and receive sensitive data from us or have access to or integrate with our systems, in order to help us assess potential risks associated with their security processes. We also generally require third parties to, among other things, maintain security controls to protect confidential information and data and notify us of data breaches that may impact our data through obligations that are documented in data processing or other agreements. In addition, we carry insurance that provides certain, limited protection against losses arising from a cybersecurity incident.

Internally, we have a security awareness program, which includes training that reinforces our information technology and security policies, standards and practices, and we require that our employees comply with these policies. The security awareness program offers training on how to identify potential cybersecurity risks and protect our resources and information. These trainings are mandatory for all employees and take place throughout the year, and are supplemented by testing initiatives, including periodic phishing tests. We also provide access to specialized training for certain employee roles, such as application developers. Finally, our privacy and data protection program requires employees to take periodic awareness training on data privacy. This training includes information about confidentiality and security, as well as responding to unauthorized access to or use of information.
From time to time, we engage assessors, consultants, auditors, or other third-party service providers to enhance risk mitigation efforts. For instance, we have performed simulations and tabletop exercises for our technical teams and senior leaders to prepare for a possible cyber crisis and incorporate external resources and advisors as needed. We also engage third-party consultants and service providers to assist with penetration testing, security audits and vulnerability assessments in certain jurisdictions.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2025
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, and all entities in which the Company has a controlling interest. For consolidated entities that are less than wholly owned, third-party holdings of equity interests are presented as non-controlling interests in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity. The portion of net income (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interests is presented as net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, while the portion of comprehensive income (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interests is reported as comprehensive income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The assets and liabilities of RSILP represent substantially all of the Company’s consolidated assets and liabilities, except for certain deferred taxes and liabilities under the Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”). The Company’s equity interests in RSILP, comprised of Class A Units of RSILP (the “RSILP Units”) and General Partnership Interests of RSILP, are held indirectly through wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company – RSI ASLP, Inc. (the “Special Limited Partner”) and RSI GP, LLC (“RSI GP”), respectively. RSI is deemed to have a controlling interest of RSILP through RSI GP, which is the sole general partner of RSILP. As a result, the Company consolidates the financial results of RSILP and reports a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest in RSILP held by the other members of RSILP. As of December 31, 2025, the Company owned 43.54% of the RSILP Units and the holders of the non-controlling interest 56.46% of the RSILP Units.
Neil G. Bluhm and Richard Schwartz and their respective trusts and entities controlled or beneficially owned by them (collectively, the “Controlling Holders”) together as a group control a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock. As a result, RSI is a “controlled company” under the New York Stock Exchange’s corporate governance standards.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s reported total revenues, expenses, net loss, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, total liabilities, stockholders’ equity, non-controlling interests or cash flows. No reclassifications of prior period balances were material to the consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company currently expects that its cash and positive operating cash flows will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least 12 months from the date of issuance of this report based on future spend assumptions. The Company generated cash inflows from operations of $165.0 million and $106.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and experienced cash outflows from operations of $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The Company had working capital totaling $196.5 million as of December 31, 2025.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the consolidated financial statements relate to and include, but are not limited to, the valuation of share-based awards and acquired intangibles; internally developed software; long-lived assets and investments in equity; the estimated useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets; redemption rate assumptions associated with the loyalty program and
other discretionary player bonuses; accrued expenses; determination of the incremental borrowing rate to calculate certain operating lease liabilities and finance lease liabilities; and deferred taxes and amounts associated with the TRA entered into in connection with the closing on December 29, 2020 of the Business Combination (the “Closing”).
Segment Reporting
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one operating segment.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid, unrestricted savings, checking, instant access internet banking accounts, money market funds and certificates of deposits with original maturities of 90 days or less at acquisition.
Restricted cash includes any cash and cash equivalents held by the Company that are legally restricted as to withdrawals or usage. This consists of certain deposits that are restricted under regulatory requirements. Regardless of whether customer deposits are legally restricted, the Company maintains separate bank accounts to segregate cash that resides in customers’ accounts from operational funds.
The following table reconciles cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets to the totals shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows:
December 31,
($ in thousands)20252024

(1) The Company had cash equivalents of $157.5 million and $117.7 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Cash equivalents are composed of money market funds and certificates of deposits with original maturities of 90 days or less. Money market funds of $113.2 million and $107.5 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, are valued using quoted market prices at period-end.
Players Receivables
Players’ Receivables
Players’ receivables consist of cash deposits from customers that the Company has not yet received. Players’ receivables are reported at the amount that the Company expects to collect from customers, generally via third-party payment processors. These receivables arise due to the timing difference between a customer’s deposit and the Company’s receipt of that deposit from the payment processor. The amounts are generally outstanding for a short period of time. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its players’ receivables and establishes an allowance for credit losses based on a specific review of the accounts as well as historical collection experience and current economic conditions. No allowance for credit losses was recorded for the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.
Due from Affiliates
Due from Affiliates
Due from affiliates consists of amounts that are expected to be collected from certain affiliated land-based casino partners. In certain cases, the affiliate casino maintains the bank account that processes cash deposits and withdrawals for RSI customers. Accordingly, at any point in time, the Company will record a receivable from the affiliate, representing the Company’s total revenue (with RSI customers) that was collected by the affiliate, less consideration payable to the affiliate for use of its license, which is offset by any consideration received from the affiliate based on the terms of the applicable agreement. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates the collectability of amounts due from affiliates and establishes an allowance for amounts not expected to be collected. No allowance was recorded for the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. See Note 12 for disclosure on related parties.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist primarily of prepaid expenses and short-term investments. Prepaid expenses consist of various advance payments for goods or services to be received in the future. These costs include insurance, subscriptions, marketing, other contracted services and deposits paid in advance. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had prepaid expenses of $9.5 million and $5.5 million, respectively.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. Leasehold improvements depreciation is computed over the shorter of the remaining lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Additions and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Useful lives of each asset class are as follows:
AssetUseful Life
Computers, software and related equipment
3 years
Furniture and fixtures
4 years
Operating equipment and servers
5 years
Leasehold improvements
Lesser of the lease terms or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, generally 1–10 years
Intangible Assets, Net
Intangible Assets, Net
License Fees, Net
The Company incurs costs in connection with operating in certain jurisdictions, including license applications fees, upfront or fixed market access payments to strategic partners and related renewals or extensions. These costs are capitalized as an intangible asset and amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset using the straight-line method. In certain markets, the Company agrees to pay minimum market access royalties to its partner, which is considered an integral cost in connection with operating in certain jurisdictions. The Company records fixed minimum royalty payments as intangible assets with an offset to deferred royalty liabilities, both of which are included on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s access to operate in a particular market is often dependent upon the continued viability of its strategic partner in that market. The useful life is the period over which the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the Company’s cash flows. The remaining useful life of license fee intangible assets is evaluated at least annually.
Internally Developed Software
Software that is developed for internal use is accounted for pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software. Qualifying costs incurred to develop internal-use software are capitalized when (i) the preliminary project stage is completed, (ii) management has authorized further funding for the completion of the project and (iii) it is probable that the project will be completed and perform as intended. These capitalized costs include compensation for employees who develop internal-use software and external costs related to development and implementation of internal-use software. Capitalization of these costs ceases once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended purpose. Internally developed software is amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of three years. All other expenditures, including those incurred to maintain an intangible asset’s current level of performance, are expensed as incurred.
Developed Technology
The Company capitalizes acquired intellectual property as developed technology intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350-30, General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill. The assets are recognized in Intangible assets, net, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the estimated useful life of four to eight years using the straight-line method.
Other Intangibles
The Company capitalizes costs associated with the purchases of trademarks, software licenses and customer lists, and the development and production of media content in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. The assets are included in Intangible assets, net, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and are amortized over the estimated useful life of one to five years using the straight-line method.
Investments in Equity
Investments in Equity
The Company accounts for investments in equity that are within the scope of ASC 321-10, Investments - Equity Securities (“ASC 321-10”), as either (1) investments with a readily determinable fair value, which are recorded at fair value or (2) investments without a readily determinable fair value, which are recorded at cost less any impairment. Equity investments that are initially concluded to not have a readily determinable fair value are reassessed at each reporting period. If the Company identifies observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer, it measures the equity security at fair value as of the date that the observable transaction occurred using valuation techniques that are permitted under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had investments in equity of $2.0 million. The equity investments are accounted for in accordance with ASC 321-10, and the Company accounts for the equity investments at cost less impairment because there are no readily determinable fair values for these investments as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. No impairment was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The investments are recognized in Other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company’s long-lived assets primarily consist of property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, finance lease right-of-use assets and finite-lived intangible assets (i.e., license fees, internally developed software, developed technology and other intangibles).
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for indicators of impairment quarterly or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The factors that would be considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the long-lived asset is used and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. If indicators of impairment are identified, the Company performs an undiscounted cash flow analysis of the long-lived assets. Asset groups are written down only to the extent that their carrying value is lower than their respective fair value. Fair values of the asset group are determined by discounting the cash flows at a rate that approximates the cost of capital of a market participant.
Players' Liabilities
Players’ Liabilities
The Company’s players’ liabilities include liabilities for customer account balances, incremental progressive jackpot reserves, and expected future payouts relating to customers’ unredeemed bonus store points and unused discretionary bonus incentives. Customer cash account balances consist of customer deposits, cash winnings and pending cash wagers, less customer cash losses, withdrawals and tax withholdings. The Company’s restricted cash balance, players’ receivables balance and the value of surety bonds held for the benefit of customers will equal or exceed the customer cash account balances.
Deferred Royalty
Deferred Royalty
The Company records liabilities for minimum royalty payments related to licensing and market access agreements. These liabilities are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at the present value of future payments discounted using a rate that reflects the duration of the applicable agreement. The deferred royalty liability is accreted through interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company classifies deferred royalty liabilities as either current or non-current liabilities based on the timing of future payments, and amounts are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets under Other current liabilities or Other non-current liabilities, depending on their classification.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of operating cash, restricted cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. The Company maintains cash, restricted cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments within separate bank accounts across multiple financial institutions. Any loss incurred, or a lack of access, to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Although the Company maintains balances with certain institutions in excess of the federally insured limits, the Company is not subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts.
Leases
Leases
The Company determines whether an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception. The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, under which arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or finance leases and are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as both a right-of-use asset and a lease liability.
The Company elects to apply the practical expedient that allows for the combination of lease and non-lease components for all asset classes. The lease classification evaluation begins at the lease commencement date. The lease term used in the evaluation includes the non-cancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset, together with renewal option periods when the exercise of the renewal option is reasonably certain.
For leases with an initial term greater than 12 months, a related lease liability is recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at the present value of future payments discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease and if not determinable, the estimated fully collateralized incremental borrowing rate (discount rate) corresponding with the lease term. In addition, a right-of-use asset is recorded as the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any lease payments made to the lessor before or at the lease commencement date and any initial direct costs incurred, less any tenant improvement allowance incentives received. Tenant incentives are amortized through the right-of-use asset as a reduction of lease expense over the lease term. The difference between the minimum rents paid and the straight-line rent is reflected within the associated right-of-use asset. Certain leases contain provisions that require variable payments consisting of common area maintenance costs (i.e., variable lease cost). Variable lease costs are expensed as incurred. The Company made an accounting policy election to exclude any short-term lease (i.e., leases with a term of twelve months or less) from the balance sheets. Short-term lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
When the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate corresponding with the lease term. As the Company does not have any outstanding debt, this rate is determined based on prevailing market conditions and comparable company and credit analysis. The discount rate is reassessed upon a modification that is not accounted for as a separate contract.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
Identify the contract with the customer
Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Determine the transaction price
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation
The Company’s revenue from contracts with customers consists of online casino, online sports betting, retail sports betting and social gaming.
Online casino and online sports betting
Online casino offerings typically include the full suite of games available in land-based casinos, such as table games (i.e., blackjack and roulette), slot machines and poker games. The Company generates revenue from these offerings (other than online poker) through hold, or gross winnings, as customers play against the house. Online casino revenue other than from online poker is generated based on total customer bets less amounts paid to customers for winning bets, less other incentives awarded to customers, plus or minus the change in the progressive jackpot liability. Online casino revenue from online poker is recognized as rake (i.e., percentage of a game’s wagers earned by the Company for satisfying the performance obligation) less any value given back to players, which could be in the form of cash, tournament tickets or other form of bonuses.
Online sports betting involves a user placing a bet on the outcome of a sporting event, sports-related activity, or a series of the same, with the chance to win a pre-determined amount, often referred to as fixed odds. Online sports betting revenue is generated by setting odds such that there is a built-in theoretical margin in each bet offered to customers. Online sports betting revenue is generated based on total customer bets less amounts paid to customers for winning bets, less other incentives awarded to customers, plus or minus the change in unsettled bets.
The Company provides various incentives to promote customer engagement, many of which allow customers to place bets without using their own funds. For some incentive programs, benefits are provided to customers based only on past play and represent an option that grants the customer a material right. Other benefits that are provided to customers are more discretionary in nature and may not be related to the customer’s level of play.
Performance obligations related to online gaming (other than from online poker) and sports betting transactions include (1) servicing the customer’s bet, which is fulfilled when the outcome of the bet is known and (2) transferring additional goods or services to a player for which the Company has received consideration, such as bonus store points or other discretionary bonus incentives. The Company’s performance obligations related to online poker include operating games and tournaments in compliance with established rules, calculating results, and distributing payouts based on those results.
Bonus store points as well as discretionary bonus incentives, such as bonus money and bonus bets (collectively referred to herein as “customer bonuses”) are recognized as a reduction to revenue upon issuance of the incentive and as revenue upon redemption by the customer. Reductions to revenue include estimates for the stand-alone selling price of customer bonuses and the percentage of customer bonuses that are expected to be redeemed. The expected redemption percentage is based on historical redemption patterns and considers current information or trends. The estimated redemption rate is evaluated each reporting period. The Company does not believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions used to calculate the estimated redemption rate. Adjustments to earnings resulting from revisions to management’s estimates of the redemption rates have not been material during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Progressive jackpots related to online casino jackpot games are accrued and charged to revenue at the time the obligation to pay the jackpot is established. The progressive jackpot liability is recorded in Players’ liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
Retail sports betting
The Company provides retail sports services to land-based partners in exchange for a monthly commission based on that partner’s retail sportsbook revenue. Services generally include ongoing management and oversight of the retail sportsbook, technical support for the partner’s customers, risk management, advertising and promotion, and support for third-party vendors’ sports betting equipment. The Company has a single performance obligation to provide retail sports services and records the revenue as services are performed and when the commission amounts are no longer constrained (i.e., the amount is known).
Certain relationships with business partners provide the Company the ability to operate the retail sportsbook. In this scenario, revenue is generated based on total customer bets less amounts paid to customers for winning bets, less other incentives awarded to customers, plus or minus the change in unsettled retail sports bets and unclaimed retail tickets for settled retail bets.
Social gaming
The Company provides a social gaming platform for users to enjoy free-to-play games that use virtual credits. While virtual credits are issued to users for free, some users may choose, where permitted, to purchase additional virtual credits through the Company’s virtual cashier. The Company has a single performance obligation associated with social gaming services, to provide social gaming services to users upon the redemption of virtual credits. Deferred revenue is recorded when users purchase virtual credits and revenue is recognized when the virtual credits are redeemed, and the Company’s performance obligation has been fulfilled.
Certain costs to obtain or fulfill contracts
Pursuant to the accounting guidance, certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer must be capitalized to the extent recoverable from the associated contract margin, and subsequently amortized as the products or services are delivered to the customer. These costs are capitalized as contract acquisition costs and are amortized over the period of benefit to the customer. For the Company, the period of benefit has been determined to be less than or equal to one year. As such, the Company applied the practical expedient and contract acquisition costs are expensed immediately. Customer contract costs that do not qualify for capitalization as contract fulfillment costs are expensed as incurred.
Contract balances
Contract assets and liabilities represent the differences in timing between the fulfillment of the Company's performance obligations and the receipt of cash from the Company’s customers. The Company does not have material contract assets. The Company’s contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue.
Deferred revenue represents wagered amounts that relate to unsettled or pending outcomes, such as a future sports bet. The Company recognizes revenue once the outcome of the bet is settled and fixed. Deferred revenue also includes contract liabilities for the Company’s obligation to transfer additional goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration, such as bonus store points. The Company recognizes breakage on these liabilities proportionately as redemption occurs. Revenue recognized relating to breakage during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was not material to the consolidated financial statements.
Deferred revenue relating to unsettled customer bets and unredeemed customer incentives is recorded in Players’ liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
Deferred revenue relating to the Company’s social gaming services includes virtual credits purchased by users but not yet redeemed and is recorded in Other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
Principal versus agent considerations
The Company evaluates the criteria outlined in ASC 606-10-55, Principal versus Agent Considerations, in determining whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of revenues and related costs, or the net amount earned as commissions. When the Company is the principal in a transaction and controls the specific good or service before it is transferred to the customer, revenue is recorded gross; otherwise, revenue is recorded on a net basis. The Company controls
the promised goods or services for online casino and sports betting transactions, retail sports betting transactions and social gaming services, and as a result records related revenue on a gross basis. For retail sports service arrangements, the Company does not control the promised goods or services and, therefore, records the net amount of revenue earned as a commission.
Costs of Revenue
Costs of Revenue
Costs of revenue consist primarily of (i) revenue share and market access fees, which is reduced by any consideration received from the vendor, (ii) third-party platform and content fees, (iii) gaming taxes, (iv) payment processing fees and chargebacks and (v) salaries, bonuses, benefits and share-based compensation for dedicated personnel. These costs are primarily variable in nature and should, in large part, correlate with the change in revenue. Revenue share and market access fees consist primarily of variable amounts paid to local land-based partners that hold the applicable gaming license, providing the Company the ability to offer real-money online offerings in the respective jurisdictions. The Company’s third-party platform and content fees are primarily driven by costs associated with third-party casino content, data and streaming, sports betting trading services, geolocation, know-your-customer and platform hosting. Gaming taxes include jurisdictional taxes that are determined based on a percentage of revenue (or similar metrics) or excise taxes that are determined based on a percentage of bets placed. The Company incurs payment processing costs on player deposits, withdrawals and occasionally chargebacks (i.e., when a payment processor contractually disallows customer deposits in the normal course of business).
Sales and Marketing
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing costs consist primarily of marketing the Company’s products and services via different channels, promotional activities and the related costs incurred to acquire new customers. These costs also include salaries, bonuses, benefits and share-based compensation for dedicated personnel and are expensed as incurred.
General and Administrative
General and Administrative
General and administrative costs consist primarily of administrative personnel costs (including salaries, bonuses, benefits and share-based compensation), professional service fees related to legal, compliance, accounting and consulting, indirect technology costs, rent expense, insurance costs, indirect taxes in foreign jurisdictions, and foreign exchange gains or losses.
Share-Based Compensation
Share-Based Compensation
The Company records share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, and recognizes share-based compensation expense in the period in which a grantee is required to provide service, which is generally over the vesting period of the individual share-based payment award. Compensation expense for awards with performance conditions is not recognized until it is probable that the performance target will be achieved. Compensation expense for awards is recognized over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
The Company classifies unit awards as either an equity award or a liability award depending on whether the award contains certain repurchase provisions. Equity-classified awards are valued as of the grant date based upon the price of the underlying unit or share and a number of assumptions, including volatility, performance period, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Liability-classified awards are valued at fair value at each reporting date.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
Rush Street Interactive, Inc. is a corporation and, as a result, is subject to U.S. federal, state and foreign income taxes.
RSILP is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore does not pay U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income. Instead, the RSILP unitholders, including the Company, are liable for U.S. federal income tax on their respective shares of RSILP’s taxable income reported on the unitholders’ U.S. federal income tax returns. RSILP is liable for income taxes in those states not recognizing its status as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated by applying existing tax laws and the rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the year of the enacted rate change.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent it believes these assets are more-likely-than-not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations.
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a recognition and measurement threshold for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, which are subject to examination by applicable taxing authorities. The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on technical merits of the position. The amount of the tax benefit recognized is the largest amount of the benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The effective tax rate and the tax basis of assets and liabilities reflect management’s estimates of the ultimate outcome of various tax uncertainties. The Company recognizes penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions within Income tax (benefit) expense line in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Tax Receivable Agreement
Tax Receivable Agreement
In connection with the Business Combination, the Special Limited Partner entered into the TRA, which generally provides for the payment by it of 85% of certain net tax benefits, if any, that the Company (including the Special Limited Partner) realize (or in certain cases is deemed to realize) as a result of these increases in tax basis and tax benefits related to the transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement and the exchange of Retained RSILP Units for Class A Common Stock (or cash at the Company’s option) pursuant to the RSILP A&R LPA and tax benefits related to entering into the TRA, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the TRA. These payments are the obligation of the Special Limited Partner and not of RSILP. The actual increase in the Special Limited Partner’s allocable share of RSILP’s tax basis in its assets, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the TRA, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of exchanges, the market price of the Class A Common Stock at the time of the exchange and the amount and timing of the recognition of the Company’s and its consolidated subsidiaries’ (including the Special Limited Partner’s) income. While many of the factors that will determine the amount of payments that the Special Limited Partner will make under the TRA are outside of the Company’s control, the Company expects that the payments the Special Limited Partner will make under the TRA will be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.
The Company evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets resulting from the exchange of RSILP Units for Class A Common Stock. If the deferred tax assets are determined to be realizable, the Company then assesses whether payment of amounts under the TRA have become probable. If so, the Company records a TRA liability, generally equal to 85% of such deferred tax assets. In subsequent periods, the Company assesses the realizability of all of its deferred tax assets subject to the TRA. Should it be determined that a deferred tax asset with a valuation allowance is realizable in a subsequent period, the related valuation allowance will be released and consideration of a corresponding TRA liability will be assessed. The realizability of deferred tax assets, including those subject to the TRA, is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those deferred tax assets become deductible and consideration of prudent and feasible tax-planning strategies.
The measurement of the TRA liability is accounted for as a contingent liability. Therefore, once the Company determines that a payment becomes probable and can be estimated, the estimate of the payment are accrued. The Company classifies recognized TRA liability as either current or non-current liabilities based on the timing of future payments, and amounts are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets under Other current liabilities or Tax receivable agreement liability, non-current, depending on their classification.
The costs or adjustment to costs associated with the recognition of the TRA liability is recorded in Change in tax receivable agreement liability on the consolidated statements of operations. This cost or adjustment reflects changes in the estimated future payments under the TRA attributable to RSILP Unit exchanges completed prior to June 30, 2025. These
prior exchanges increased the Company’s tax basis in its share of RSILP’s underlying assets, giving rise to expected tax savings and corresponding TRA liability. RSILP Unit exchanges occurring after June 30, 2025 will not result in change in tax receivable agreement liability, as the associated increase in tax basis and the resulting TRA liability will be accounted for as equity transactions.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to RSI by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the same period.
Diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to RSI, adjusted for the assumed exchange of all potentially dilutive securities, by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive shares. The dilutive effect of outstanding awards or financial instruments, if any, is reflected in diluted earnings (loss) per share by application of the treasury stock method or if-converted method, as applicable.
Foreign Currency
Foreign Currency
The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar while the functional currency of subsidiaries not deemed to be the U.S. dollar includes the Colombian Peso, Mexican Peso, Canadian Dollar and Peruvian Soles. The financial statements of non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, using period-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities, and average exchange rates for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses and historical exchange rates for equity. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining other comprehensive income (loss).
If transactions are recorded in a currency other than the subsidiary’s functional currency, remeasurement into the functional currency is required and may result in transaction gains or losses. Transaction (losses) gains were $(0.9) million, $(3.8) million and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Amounts are recorded in General and administrative on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements are based on the premise that fair value is an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the following three-tier fair value hierarchy has been used in determining the inputs used in measuring fair value:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities on the reporting date.
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Pricing inputs are generally unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require management’s judgment or estimation of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. The fair values are therefore determined using factors that involve considerable judgment and interpretations, including but not limited to private and public comparables, third-party appraisals, discounted cash flow model and fund manager estimates.
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair values. Accordingly,
the fair value estimates disclosed or initial amounts recorded may not be indicative of the amount that the Company or holders of the instruments could realize in a current market exchange.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the recorded values of current assets and current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements And Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance the transparency, decision usefulness and effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require a public entity to disclose a tabular tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and currency, with specific categories. A public entity is also required to provide a qualitative description of the states and local jurisdictions that make up the majority of the effect of the state and local income tax category and the net amount of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and also disaggregated by individual jurisdictions. The amendments also remove certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial. This ASU is effective for the Company in calendar year 2025. See Note 9, “Income Taxes” for additional information on the Company’s adoption of ASU 2023-09.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, to modernize the accounting guidance for the costs to develop software for internal use. ASU 2025-06 amends the existing standard that refers to various stages of a software development project to align better with current software development methods, such as agile programming. Under the new standard, entities will commence capitalizing eligible costs when (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the intended function. The new standard also supersedes the guidance related to costs incurred to develop a website. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update permit an entity to apply the new guidance using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. The Company early adopted ASU 2025-06 on a prospective basis effective for fiscal year beginning January 1, 2026 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The ASU requires the disclosure of additional information related to certain costs and expenses, including amounts of inventory purchases, employee compensation, and depreciation and amortization included in each income statement line item. The ASU also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and definition of selling expenses. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which provides clarifications intended to improve the consistency and usability of interim disclosure requirements, including a comprehensive listing of required interim disclosures and a new disclosure principle for reporting material events occurring after the most recent annual period. The amendments do not change the underlying objectives of interim reporting but are designed to enhance clarity in application. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its interim consolidated financial statements and does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on its interim consolidated financial statements.
