|
Rush Street Interactive, an online gambling company based in the US, announced that it has opened new offices in Latin America to bolster its operators there.
In addition to its offerings in numerous US states, RSI offers online gambling in Colombia and Mexico. The new offices are in Bogota (Colombia) and Medellin (Colombia). In the heart of Bogota, RSI has opened a new 8,000-square-foot office to serve as the headquarters for its Latin America operations team.
“The office’s cutting-edge design embodies RSI’s culture of innovation and reflects the fun nature of the gaming industry: a full multimedia wall for watching live sports surrounds the office space; an actual basketball court functions as the marketing team’s space; conference rooms are designed like poker rooms; a production set simulates a stadium; lamps throughout the building resemble casino cards, and the cafeteria is a replica of RushBet’s sports bars,” said an announcement.
RSI said it chose Medellin due to its growing tech talent, supported by the local government’s substantial investment in its “Valle de Software” initiative to create a software valley by attracting IT businesses and students.
“We are investing in the region’s future and recognize the importance of earning the trust and respect of the communities where we operate,” said Richard Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer at RSI. “It’s important to have the brightest and strongest local teams to execute RSI’s ambitious growth strategy.”
RSI was the first U.S.-based online gambling operator to launch in Colombia. Rush Street Interactive has partnered with some of the region’s leading media companies, banks, retailers, and sports leagues, including an exclusive partnership with LaLiga.
RSI is a second-tier operator in the US, trailing far behind industry rivals such as DraftKings, BetMGM and FanDuel.
“These new offices further exemplify our innovation and continued investment in Latin America and the future growth we expect in the region,” Schwartz said. “It was important for us to invest in creating world-class facilities to continue to attract and retain top industry talent, who play a vital role in RSI’s ongoing growth in Latin America.”
