BetRivers PA Bonus Code & Review

BetRivers was among the first group of sportsbooks in Pennsylvania offering wagering on a wide variety of sports, most notably football, where the sport looms large thanks to the Steelers, Eagles, Penn State, and Pitt.

Rivers Sportsbook, operated by Rush Street Interactive, has a reputation of generous lines, in partnership with the Rivers Casino outside Pittsburgh. It’s also a trusted platform where security is a priority.

The sports market available is deep all major U.S. sports leagues plus NASCAR, and IndyCar, golf, MMA, tennis cricket, darts, rugby, and the ever-popular soccer leagues from across the pond.

The book is drawing bettors with a 100 percent first deposit match up to $250 with a 1X betting condition.

The iRush loyalty program brings added value offering bettors points with every dollar wagered that can be traded for bonus cash with 1X betting conditions. A visible progress bar lets bettors how they are advancing, offering an entertaining video game-like experience to betting.

Rivers Sportsbook also offers tier bonuses and VIP odds boosts where rewards, such as speedy cashouts, gifts, and eventually trips, become available.

A mobile app for Android is available on the sportsbook site and iOS is accessible through mobile with a little more effort, thanks to Apple restrictions. Mobile iOS users will need to install a geolocation app and gain access to Rivers Sportsbook through the device’s browser. The workaround is less complicated than it sounds. 

The mobile site is easy to read and navigate and the desktop version gives bettors a fuller view of all BetRivers has to offer – including futures and live feed of recent winners -- without wearing out your scrolling thumb. 

Live wagers are king and they appear near the top, luring bettors with real-time updates.
