Chicago-based online gaming and entertainment company Rush Street Interactive (RSI) reported record second-quarter results, with revenue rising 46 per cent year-on-year to $393.8 million and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) increasing 61 per cent to $64.6 million. The company also raised its full-year 2026 revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance following growth across North America and Latin America.
Net income reached a quarterly record of $29.3 million, compared with $28.8 million in Q2 2025. Monthly active users (MAUs) also increased 58 per cent year-on-year to approximately 949,000.
Online casino leads Q2 growth
Online casino remained the main source of revenue for RSI during the quarter, accounting for 72 per cent of total revenue.
CEO Richard Schwartz said the company continued to gain share in online casino, while sports betting also benefited from activity around the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
North American online casino MAUs increased 64 per cent year-on-year, helping total MAUs in the region reach approximately 296,000, up 51 per cent.
RSI recorded approximately 653,000 MAUs in Latin America, including Mexico, representing a 62 per cent increase from Q2 2025.
Average revenue per monthly active user was $320 in North America and $55 in Latin America.
Latin America records strong player growth
Latin America remained a key growth region for RSI during Q2. The company reported a 62 per cent increase in monthly active users in the region compared with the same period last year.
RSI said sports betting activity also benefited from the FIFA World Cup, with the tournament supporting player acquisition and reactivation.
More than 25 per cent of first-time depositors acquired during the World Cup had already engaged with RSI’s casino product, according to Schwartz.
The company also reported adjusted sales and marketing expenses of $48.6 million for the quarter, equal to 12.3 per cent of revenue.
Alberta launch adds new market
RSI launched online casino and sports betting in Alberta earlier in July through its BetRivers brand.
Schwartz said the company was encouraged by the early trends following the launch. First-time depositors and daily active users were tracking at around twice the levels seen in Ontario at the same stage after launch, on a population-adjusted basis.
RSI is also seeking a Designated Contract Market licence from the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Schwartz said prediction markets are not a strategic priority for the company.
Full-year guidance raised
Following the Q2 results, RSI raised its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to between $1.56 billion and $1.60 billion. The new range represents year-on-year growth of 38 per cent to 41 per cent.
Adjusted EBITDA is now expected to reach between $245 million and $265 million, representing growth of 59 per cent to 72 per cent.
The previous guidance, issued after RSI’s Q1 results, called for revenue of $1.49 billion to $1.54 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $230 million to $250 million.
RSI said the updated guidance assumes operations continue in its existing markets under similar tax structures, including Colombia’s temporary 16 per cent emergency tax decree.
