Gambling.com Overall Score: 8.0/10 (No. 6 among U.S. sportsbooks)

Our Verdict: BetRivers Sportsbook has a well-rounded betting market and promotions menu, but its layout isn’t optimized for live betting or mobile use (yet). We love the iRush Rewards program and would love to see even more upgrades in the user experience. Improvements to the tech would make a huge difference.

Quick Summary: BetRivers Sportsbook at a Glance

BetRivers scores highly in many areas. There are plenty of generous bonus offers, and the number of sports markets covered is exceptional. 

It has one of the best loyalty programs, offering chances at bonus bets, enhanced support, luxury gifts, VIP experiences, and goodies from the iRush Rewards store.

With its lack of availability in some states, BetRivers should work on the things that are working for their brand, like their loyalty program, and shore up the areas where they don't measure up.

Pros
  • BetRivers promos, including profit boost bonuses, can be very valuable
  • Long-standing loyalty rewards program
  • Competitive odds on a large selection of betting markets
  • Responsive, helpful customer support
Cons
  • Users have reported issues with upgrades to loyalty program
  • Mobile app and website don't match UX; interface feels dated
  • Withdrawals often take longer than advertised, despite custom RushPay system

Sports & Markets: 9.25/10

BetRivers covers plenty of sports markets. Thanks to its near-exclusive coverage of Jai-Alai, it offers competitive odds on sports that many other sports betting operators don't. BetRivers covers every major domestic league, plus lots of European and other international ones.

Each game has hundreds of individual markets, giving you tons to explore. Once you click into a single game, you'll find many prop bets, betting tips, the latest streaks, and team stats.

One of our favorite aspects of BetRivers' betting markets is the "Hometowns" tab, which shows you all the local teams you can bet on within the next few days.

BetRivers' sports and market offerings are quite complete. In most markets, they offer either futures or player props. There is a great depth in international markets for basketball, hockey, and soccer.

Peter Mooney

BetRivers’ betting menus are fairly comprehensive but missing niche sports offered by other books, like snooker, eSports, cycling, and others.

Promotions: 7.0/10

BetRivers offers an impressive selection of sportsbook promos. Where this operator goes beyond the norm is its daily odds boosts and profit boosts. BetRivers can also offer more value through "House Specials." These betting markets cover non-standard outcomes and events.

You can also get insured bets via parlay insurance promotions by making multi-game or same-game parlays on selected events. You can get $100 worth of bonus bets when you refer a friend.

BetRivers has a solid selection of regular promotions and one of the industry's top loyalty programs in iRush Rewards.

Dan Moran
Dan Moran

BetRivers' promotions are mostly focused on the same thing: same-game parlays. With same-game insurance offered for almost every market, it's clear what this operator wants you to bet on. Odds and profit boosts are mixed in as well.

Payments: 8.0/10

BetRivers offers a wide range of deposit and withdrawal options. It effectively mixes traditional payment methods like standard credit cards and online banking with more modern options like Apple Pay, Venmo, and PayPal.

There’s something for everyone, but I would love to see withdrawal options expanded. Withdrawals use expedited RushPay, though users still say it can take a long time to be paid out. 

Dan Moran
Dan Moran

What gives me pause is reading some of the customer reviews on BetRivers withdrawals. Many reviews say withdrawals take more than the prescribed time on the site or that the withdrawal process back and forth with customer service is clunky.

Customer Support: 8.5/10

BetRivers gives users all the tools they need to find answers before contacting customer support. The FAQ is one of the best we've seen, containing written instructions and screenshots. If you can't find answers, you can contact the customer support team 24/7 via live chat or phone.

Dan Moran
Dan Moran

The Help Center is comprehensive and searchable, broken into helpful sections that list common questions that users might have. Within the Help Center, the telephone support number is always posted. I could get an immediate answer to any questions I had using the support chat in the top navigation.

Shannon Lane
Shannon Lane

It's possible to email BetRivers, but the support email address is buried on the terms of service page. Making this more prominent would showcase a more complete customer service experience.

Reputation & User Feedback: 7.5/10

BetRivers and its parent company, Rush Street Gaming, are licensed and legal in the U.S. Along with a network of local retail partners, BetRivers can offer a fair, safe service with guaranteed payouts via its website and app.

The website and the mobile app are secure, thanks to SSL encryption technology and password-protected accounts. Plus, as a licensed sports betting app, BetRivers must also comply with strict regulations on odds and promotions offered and how money is processed.

In all respects, the BetRivers Sportsbook app is safe and reliable.

Peter Mooney
Peter Mooney

Rush Street has been around the gaming space forever. BetRivers has a strong industry reputation and one of the best loyalty programs.

Dan Moran
Dan Moran

While BetRivers has a strong brick-and-mortar presence with casinos in multiple states, its online product leaves a little to be desired. Reading through reviews of the BetRivers app in the Apple App Store and Google Play highlights some of its users' frustrations. There are complaints about the withdrawal process, the clunky navigation, and the app's speed.

Site UX: 7.25/10

The BetRivers website contains impressive features. The interface follows the traditional three-panel layout (sports betting menu, odds, betting slip), and everything is bright and bold.

Links to responsible gambling, live chat, and the help center are all displayed prominently.

One particular design choice that we like is the use of drop-down menus.

Shannon Lane
Shannon Lane

The site’s basic design looks dated, and it is not easy on the eyes aesthetically, but it is easy to get around. Where available, all products, including casino and poker, are housed together. I love the pre-game and in-game stats, too. 

Dan Moran
Dan Moran

The Site UX for BetRivers is not the best-in-class experience. I found the repetitive menus on the top and left-hand sides confusing, though it’s nice that the menus are organized with a mix of sports and markets, with props and odds boosts pushed to the top. The bet slip interface is clunky, crowding the screen and making it hard to create more complex bets. 

From a design perspective, there's a good use of whitespace, and the use of icons and text color gives some differentiation to the eye.

Mobile Product: 7.75/10

BetRivers has won the EGR Award for Mobile Operator of the Year. That's a huge positive, and it's thanks to the wealth of features the BetRivers mobile app offers. From competitive odds and promotions to live streaming and tips, there isn't a thing you can't do via BetRivers' apps.

BetRivers might not have the same public profile as other national sports betting apps. However, that doesn't matter because it has better fundamentals than most, such as live streams, exclusive content, betting tips, and fast withdrawals.

The comments on Google Play show that connectivity and stability issues have hurt the Android app rating. What's encouraging, though, is that the developers have responded to the criticisms. This should improve the BetRivers app for Android devices and align it with its iOS counterpart.

Peter Mooney
Peter Mooney

The mobile product at BetRivers offers a better user experience than the desktop version because they're different. The app interface and browser-based site do not directly match, which does not create a seamless experience.

Dan Moran
Dan Moran

The app experience has opportunities for improvement.

The load times are frustrating, and the home screen lists events haphazardly. It would be nice to see more personalization here. When you select a bet for your bet slip and minimize the window to continue adding bets, the bet slip blends into the main window and should be distinguished more clearly. 

Responsible Gambling: 9.0/10

The most crucial tip all sports bettors must remember is never to risk too much. Every bet you make should be a small percentage of your total bankroll. Never wager more than you can afford to lose.

Online providers like BetRivers always encourage you to gamble responsibly by offering tools like betting and deposit limits, reality checks, and timeouts/self-exclusion options.

Peter Mooney
Peter Mooney

The plain responsible gambling page isn’t very engaging but has all the standard limit-setting tools, so it doesn’t need to be overly flashy.

Dan Moran
Dan Moran

BetRivers has responsible gaming as a primary menu item on mobile and desktop, but the user experience could be more personal. The main navigation link should go to a unique page instead of a jump link to that section of the terms and conditions page. The tools available to users who need responsible gaming help are no different than what most operators offer. 

Fleshing out the user experience here would improve its score.

Live Betting Features: 7.5/10

BetRivers offers live betting markets and one of the most comprehensive streaming services in the U.S. Once games start, you can follow the game action with a live stat tracker. Real-time updates and statistics accompany all live betting odds.

Then, if you want to get a better overview of what's happening, you can watch events for free via live streams. Live streaming options are limited to niche international markets.

BetRivers also now offers “Instant Betting,” which is its form of microbetting.

Richard Janvrin

The BetRivers Sportsbook app provides a live betting user interface that goes in-depth in ways you didn’t know you needed: Statistics. The statistics you can access here make live betting a more strategic and thoughtful process, as you can access important stats from before the game and in-game stats while it’s in progress.

Dan Moran
Dan Moran

The live betting features on BetRivers are nice, but the section could be better organized for conversion. The site has live streaming, a feature that helps them compete with larger sportsbooks. Offerings like European table tennis, international basketball, and cricket will not drive eyeballs to the site or the book. 

To make live betting more enticing on BetRivers, BetRivers should highlight the Instant Betting options as the first menu item in the live betting section. Putting them as the first choice could drive more action.

Odds: 8.5/10

BetRivers offers more odds than other bookmakers. BetRivers' odds are supplied by Kambi, a sportsbook technology company. They provide odds for over 20 sportsbooks, including competitors like DraftKings and ESPN BET.

Our research shows that the average betting line at BetRivers matches industry standards. BetRivers’ House Specials gives oddsmakers more room to be creative and set generous odds.

Peter Mooney
Peter Mooney

Odds are very competitive at BetRivers. In my experience, BetRivers offers better odds than most competitors.

Dan Moran
Dan Moran

BetRivers offers competitive odds compared to most other sportsbooks. Since several brands use the same odds provider, they provide the same odds as those operators, which are competitive with most non-Kambi sportsbook operators.

Final Verdict on BetRivers Sportsbook

BetRivers ranks in the Top 5 for several of our key grading criteria, including sports & markets, payments, customer support, responsible gambling, and odds value. It has an industry-leading rewards program, comprehensive markets with innovative betting features, and competitive odds.

However, there are some key areas where it could improve to begin climbing the ranks of national sportsbooks. The desktop and mobile app experiences must become more uniform to facilitate easy gameplay and better live betting. Withdrawals also need to become more consistent.

However, these issues aren't deal-breakers. BetRivers Sportsbook is an excellent option for users looking for rewards and the best prices.
