RSI Named Operator of

the Year

Rocky Hill, CT, April 28, 2022 / -- The Connecticut Lottery
Corporation (“CLC”) congratulates its sports betting partner, Rush Street
Interactive, Inc. (NYSE: RSI) ("RSI"), for being named Operator of
the Year, Customer Service Operator of the Year and Social Gaming Operator of
the Year at the EGR North America Awards 2022. The EGR Awards are regarded as
the gold standard in the online gaming industry, celebrating excellence in the
North American online gaming industry. The independent panel of judges for
these premier gaming awards, who are all e-gaming experts, recognize the
leading operators who have demonstrated outstanding performance over the past
year.

“We extend our sincere congratulations to our partner, Rush
Street Interactive, on this trio of awards,” said Andrew Walter, Connecticut
Lottery Corporation Director, Business and Legal Affairs, Sports Betting
Division. “The EGR North America Awards are the pinnacle of gaming achievement,
and to score a hat trick of honors is truly a testament to what RSI brings to
the table. Connecticut customers have experienced first-hand the quality of RSI’s
product and customer service in increasing numbers.”

For the Operator of the Year award, RSI was judged on its
growth and commercial success, player retention, and differentiation and
originality of product. RSI stood out from the competition with continued
revenue increases, premiere betting content and strong user experience, and its
in-house developed online gaming platform.

For the Customer Service Operator of the Year award, RSI was
judged on its collaborative and communicative culture as well as continual
training and development. RSI differentiated itself from the competition with
its unwavering commitment to transparency, excellent customer service and the
company's approach to making every player know and feel that they are valued.
RSI has won this award every time since its inception.

For the Social Gaming Operator of the Year, RSI was judged
on its ability to increase engagement and visitation to land-based casinos
while generating growing revenues. RSI's revenue increase, wide selection of
game content, strong operations, and in-house developed social gaming software
helped RSI rise above the competition to achieve this award.

"It is an honor and especially meaningful for RSI to be
recognized by the gaming industry's top leaders for our passion to develop
innovative and intuitive betting experiences and for always prioritizing
earning and retaining our players' trust," said Richard Schwartz, C.E.O.
of Rush Street Interactive. "It's especially rewarding that EGR recognizes
that RSI continues to enhance our customer offerings to provide a best-in-class
user experience in both social and real-money gaming. The customer service of
the year award has only been awarded three times and RSI has won each time,
reflecting our dedication to engaging and retaining players."

RSI was previously crowned Casino Operator of the Year,
Customer Service Operator of the Year and Social Gaming Operator of the Year at
the EGR North America Awards 2021.

"These crowning achievements are a tribute to RSI's
talented team," Schwartz added. "Their passion and collaborative
spirit, to constantly improve the quality of our real money and social gaming
products and customer service, is what leads to such honors."

In 2021, the CLC
and RSI entered into a 10-year agreement
that made RSI the Connecticut
Lottery’s exclusive provider of a
state-of-the-art sports betting system for mobile, online, and retail channels,
including as the operator of the CLC’s mobile/online sportsbook.

In North America, RSI develops and operates a proprietary
gaming platform powering online casinos and sportsbooks for BetRivers.com and
PlaySugarHouse.com. It is currently live in 13 U.S. states and this month
launched BetRivers in Canada.
