Play’n GO has announced it has secured a Delaware license, bringing the company’s total number of US licenses up to six.
It will enter the market through Rush Street Interactive’s BetRivers brand.
The company now boasts licenses in Connecticut, Delaware, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. It has been active in the United States of America since 2022.
Anna Mackney, US Head of Region at Play’n GO commented: “It’s fantastic to begin the year by adding yet another new regulated market in the US, this time in the shape of Delaware. Our expansion into the state marks yet another significant step in our US growth strategy. Play’n GO continues to lead the charge in regulated markets, and we are committed to delivering our premium content to players across the country.”
She continued: “We’ve already established an excellent relationship with Rush Street Interactive across the United States, and we are confident that our partnership will continue to be mutually beneficial to both businesses as we enter yet another new market together. US players have clearly demonstrated their demand for our games, and we will continue to deliver.”
After adding Delaware to its string of licenses, Play’n GO is now licensed in every State with a regulated and active iGaming market in the country.
Delaware’s iGaming Market: A Small but Growing Sector
Delaware’s iGaming market is small compared to other states where online casinos are legal. According to the American Gaming Association’s State of States 2024, traditional land-based casino games accounted for more than 95 percent of total casino gaming revenue in Delaware in 2023.
Total statewide revenue from electronic gaming devices was $424.7 million in 2023, up 4.8 percent against 2022. Online casino revenue was up 3.3 percent but reached only $14.1 million.
The Delaware gambling tax structure sees commercial casinos subject to approximately 56 percent of gross revenue in electronic gaming device tax and 20 percent on gross table game revenue. This tax structure for iGaming offerings is “roughly the same” as the structure applied to equivalent games in racinos.
Rush Street Interactive’s BetRivers launched its poker platform late last year, claiming to offer “among the lowest rake” of competitors. The product was designed with players in mind and launched in partnership with professional player Phil Galfond.
Upon release, the operator stated that Galfond had brought “invaluable insight” to ensure that the product is “finely tuned to meet the needs of poker players at every level.”
