Legal online and mobile sports betting began in New York on Jan. 8 and BetRivers was among the first handful of operators to launch. BetRivers joined Caesars, DraftKings, and FanDuel in being the first to offer legal sports bets outside of a retail sportsbook.

Most importantly, BetRivers made it in time for the NFL playoffs and the Super Bowl.

BetRivers NY bonus details

BetRivers offers new customers up to a 100% up to $250 deposit bonus match with a 1-time playthrough.

Signing up for, funding, and betting on sports in New York can all be done from computers and mobile phones. That’s a new industry standard that, oddly, some states don’t employ. However, New York does so that the process will be much easier for residents. Likely, many New York bettors will have played on apps for companies in neighboring New Jersey so that the process will be familiar.

How to get your up to 100%
up to $250 deposit bonus match from BetRivers

It’s a simple process. Follow the link we provide, and you’re all set.

Once you’re signed up, just deposit some funds, and you’re ready to go. You can make one sizeable bet – go Bills – or a bunch of little ones to fulfill the “1X” play-through requirement. The 1X part might seem a little confusing at first, but here’s a simple explanation from BetRivers’ sister brand, playSugarHouse. Furthermore, it means you can convert that deposit match into cash quicker than at many sportsbooks:

“At PlaySugarHouse.com we have a 1x Playthrough requirement on all of our bonuses. That means that after you activate your bonus, you only have to wager through 1X and any winnings are converted to cash! That means that you are more likely to convert your bonus dollars into cold hard cash at PlaySugarHouse.com!”

Signing up with BetRivers in the app to get your 100% up to $250 deposit match bonus

Setting up a BetRivers sports betting app is a lot like setting up a food delivery app for an Android or iOS device. In addition, our link will allow you to download the app on your phone or tablet.

  • Click/tap on the links to begin registration.
  • Repeat at the “sign me up” button
  • Follow the on-screen prompts, entering the appropriate information in each
  • Verify your details, accept the terms, and submit your registration

BetRivers Sportsbook in New York

The possibility of mobile sports betting in New York became a reality when former Gov. Andrew Cuomo pushed for and won an amendment into the state’s budget law. BetRivers is a well-known nation sports betting and casino brand and already has name recognition in New York with Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady.

According to BetRivers, the company,

“Has been approved by the New York State Gaming Commission to commence mobile sports wagering operations in New York beginning this Saturday, January 8, 2022, at 9:00 am ET. Upon launch, players across the state aged 21 and over can deposit funds. And place bets at the award-winning BetRivers sportsbook on all mobile devices, tablets, desktop, and laptop computers.”

Said Richard Schwartz, chief executive officer of Rush Street Interactive, which owns BetRivers:

“The long-awaited launch of online and mobile sports betting in New York – the largest online sports betting market by population in the United States – is here, and just in time. With the college football championship game on January 10th and NFL playoffs approaching, and the NBA and NHL seasons in full swing, in addition to countless other sports and betting options available for play, fans have endless entertainment at their fingertips at BetRivers.”

RSI is one of only three companies with online gaming market access in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. In fact, Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady was the first retail sportsbook in New York history to accept a legalized sports bet. It’s led the New York market in revenue since its launch in 2019.

Will BetRivers flow like the Hudson and East rivers in New York?

TheBetRivers mobile sports betting app is well-known for being one of the best and most intuitive in the industry. Sports and promotions scroll across the top of the app, and the betting slip is easily noticeable once you’ve made your first wager. Also, BetRivers offers integrated betting content and live streaming on a multitude of sports, and according to a release,

“Automated pay-out approvals for over 80% of requests, and unique bonusing and rewards programs – including the industry’s fastest conversion of bonuses to cash. RSI’s sportsbook app was rated in the top 3 out of 35 mobile sportsbook apps in the United States market last quarter by independent gaming research firm Eilers & Krejcik.”

There are some exclusions on what you can bet on, so here’s the shortlist of non-bettable markets to avoid any confusion:

  • In-state college teams/events and prop bets
  • Entertainment or elections
  • High school sports and events where most participants are 18 or younger.
