- Description of Business
Rush Street Interactive, Inc. is a holding company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and through its main operating subsidiary, Rush Street Interactive, LP and its subsidiaries (collectively, “RSILP”), is a leading online gaming company that provides online casino and sports betting in the U.S., Canadian and Latin American markets. Rush Street Interactive, Inc. and its subsidiaries (including RSILP) are collectively referred to as “RSI” or the “Company.” The Company is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and the applicable regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 7, 2024.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its directly and indirectly wholly owned subsidiaries, and all entities in which the Company has a controlling interest. RSI is deemed to have a controlling interest of RSILP through its wholly owned subsidiary, RSI GP, LLC (“RSI GP”), which is the sole general partner of RSILP. For consolidated entities that are less than wholly owned, third-party holdings of equity interests are presented as non-controlling interests in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity. The portion of net income (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interests is presented as net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, while the portion of comprehensive income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests is reported as comprehensive income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The Company is organized as an umbrella partnership-C corporation (“UP-C”), resulting from the transactions contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of July 27, 2020, among RSILP, the sellers set forth on the signature pages thereto (collectively, the “Sellers” and each, a “Seller”), dMY Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) and Rush Street Interactive GP, LLC (as amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement” and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Business Combination”). As an UP-C, substantially all of the combined company’s assets are held by RSILP and the Company’s primary assets are its equity interests in RSILP (which are held indirectly through wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company – RSI ASLP, Inc. (the “Special Limited Partner”) and RSI GP). The non-controlling interest represents the Class A Common Units of RSILP (“RSILP Units”) held by holders other than the Company. As of September 30, 2024, the Company owned 37.04% of the RSILP Units and the holders of the non-controlling interest owned 62.96% of the RSILP Units.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s reported total revenues, expenses, net loss, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, total liabilities, stockholders’ equity, non-controlling interests or cash flows. No reclassifications of prior period balances were material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but may omit certain disclosures required by U.S. GAAP previously disclosed in the most recent annual consolidated financial statements. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial condition, its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The historical results are not necessarily indicative of future results, and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements relate to and include, but are not limited to: the valuation of share-based awards; internally developed software; long-lived assets and investments in equity; estimated useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets; redemption rate assumptions associated with the loyalty program and other discretionary player bonuses; deferred revenue; accrued expenses; determination of the incremental borrowing rate to calculate operating lease liabilities and finance lease liabilities; and deferred taxes and amounts associated with the tax receivable agreement (“TRA”) entered into in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement on December 29, 2020.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid, unrestricted savings, checking, instant access internet banking accounts, money market funds and certificates of deposits with original maturities of 90 days or less at acquisition.
Restricted cash includes any cash and cash equivalents held by the Company that are legally restricted as to withdrawals or usage. This consists of certain deposits that are restricted under regulatory requirements. Regardless of whether customer deposits are legally restricted, the Company maintains separate bank accounts to segregate cash that resides in customers’ accounts from operational funds.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist primarily of prepaid expenses and short-term investments. Prepaid expenses consist of various advance payments for goods or services to be received in the future. These costs include insurance, subscriptions, marketing, other contracted services and deposits paid in advance. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had prepaid expenses of $5.5 million and $7.5 million, respectively.
Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposit with an original maturity greater than three months but not greater than one year. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had short-term investments of $4.6 million and $3.1 million, respectively.
Surety Bonds
The Company had been issued $31.2 million and $28.0 million in surety bonds as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, that are used to satisfy regulatory requirements related to securing cash held for the benefit of customers.
The Company had been issued $6.3 million and $4.6 million in surety bonds as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, to satisfy regulatory requirements necessary to operate in certain jurisdictions.
There have been no claims against any of the Company’s surety bonds and the likelihood of future claims is expected to be remote.
Foreign Currency Gains and Losses
The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar while the functional currency of its subsidiaries not deemed to be the U.S. dollar include the Colombian Peso, Mexican Peso, Canadian Dollar, and Peruvian Soles. The financial statements of non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into the U.S. dollar in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 830, Foreign Currency Matters, using period-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities, and average exchange rates for the period for revenues, costs and expenses. The U.S. dollar effects that arise from translating the net assets of these subsidiaries at changing rates are recorded in the foreign currency translation adjustment account, which is included in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
If transactions are recorded in a currency other than the functional currency, remeasurement into the functional currency is required and may result in transaction gains or losses. Transaction losses were $0.9 million and $2.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to gains (losses) of $(1.1) million and $0.4 million for the same respective periods in 2023. Amounts are recorded in general and administrative on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. This ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. This ASU is effective for the Company in calendar year 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2024 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280). The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. This ASU requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in the update and existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this standard beginning with its fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating these new disclosure requirements and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance the transparency, decision usefulness and effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require a public entity to disclose a tabular tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and currency, with specific categories. A public entity is also required to provide a qualitative description of the states and local jurisdictions that make up the majority of the effect of the state and local income tax category and the net amount of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and also disaggregated by individual jurisdictions. The amendments also remove certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial. The amendments are effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these new disclosure requirements on its condensed consolidated financial statements and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact.
- Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue from contracts with customers is derived from online casino, online sports betting, retail sports betting and social gaming.
Online casino and online sports betting
Online casino offerings typically include the full suite of games available in land-based casinos, such as table games (i.e., blackjack and roulette) and slot machines. The Company generates revenue from these offerings through hold, or gross winnings, as customers play against the house. Online casino revenue is generated based on total customer bets less amounts paid to customers for winning bets, less other incentives awarded to customers, plus or minus the changes in unsettled bets and the progressive jackpot liability.
Online sports betting involves a user placing a bet on the outcome of a sporting event, sports-related activity or a series of the same, with the chance to win a pre-determined amount, often referred to as fixed odds. Online sports betting revenue is generated by setting odds such that there is a built-in theoretical margin in each bet offered to customers. Online sports betting revenue is generated based on total customer bets less amounts paid to customers for winning bets, less other incentives awarded to customers, plus or minus the change in unsettled bets.
Retail sports betting
The Company provides retail sports services to land-based partners in exchange for a monthly commission based on that partner’s retail sportsbook revenue. Services generally include ongoing management and oversight of the retail sportsbook, technical support for the partner’s customers, risk management, advertising and promotion, and support for third-party vendors’ sports betting equipment. The Company has a single performance obligation to provide retail sports services and records the revenue as services are performed and when the commission amounts are no longer constrained (i.e., the amount is known).
Certain relationships with business partners provide the Company the ability to operate the retail sportsbook. In this scenario, revenue is generated based on total customer bets less amounts paid to customers for winning bets, less other incentives awarded to customers, plus or minus the change in unsettled retail sports bets and unclaimed retail tickets for settled retail bets.
Social gaming
The Company provides a social gaming platform for users to enjoy free-to-play games that use virtual credits. While virtual credits are issued to users for free, some users may choose to purchase additional virtual credits through the Company’s virtual cashier. The Company has a single performance obligation associated with social gaming services to provide social gaming services to users upon the redemption of virtual credits. Deferred revenue is recorded when users purchase virtual credits and revenue is recognized when the virtual credits are redeemed and the Company’s performance obligation has been fulfilled.

- Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was as follows:
| Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ($ in thousands) | 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 |
| Income tax expense | $5,274 | $2,426 | $16,970 | $7,946 |
The Company recognized federal, state and foreign income tax expense of $5.3 million and $17.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to $2.4 million and $7.9 million during the same periods in 2023. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were 61.9% and 95.8%, respectively, and were (22.2)% and (17.0)% during the same periods in 2023. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% was primarily due to a full valuation allowance recorded on the Company’s net U.S. deferred tax assets, non-taxable income / (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest and income tax rate differences related to the Company’s Colombia operations for which both current and deferred taxes were recorded. The Company evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset may not be realized.
In connection with the Business Combination, the Special Limited Partner entered into the TRA, which generally provides that it pay 85% of certain net tax benefits, if any, that the Company (including the Special Limited Partner) realizes (or in certain cases is deemed to realize) as a result of an increase in tax basis and tax benefits related to the transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement and the exchange of Retained RSILP Units (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) for Class A Common Stock (or cash at the Company’s option) pursuant to RSILP’s amended and restated limited partnership agreement and tax benefits related to entering into the TRA, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the TRA. These payments are the obligation of the Special Limited Partner and not of RSILP. The actual increase in the Special Limited Partner’s allocable share of RSILP’s tax basis in its assets, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the TRA, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of exchanges, the market price of the Class A Common Stock at the time of the exchange and the amount and timing of the recognition of RSI and its consolidated subsidiaries’ (including the Special Limited Partner’s) income.
Based primarily on historical losses of RSILP, management has determined it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will be unable to utilize its deferred tax assets subject to the TRA; therefore, management applies a full valuation allowance to deferred tax asset or a corresponding liability under the TRA related to the tax savings the Company may realize from the utilization of tax deductions related to basis adjustments created by the transactions in the Business Combination Agreement. The unrecognized TRA liability as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $84.3 million and $63.7 million, respectively. The increase in the liability is primarily due to the issuance of Class A Common Stock upon RSILP Unit exchanges. Due to the fact that the Company's deferred tax assets and corresponding TRA liability are unrecognized, this increase had no impact on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

The Class V Common Stock does not participate in the Company’s earnings or losses and is therefore not a participating security. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class V Common Stock under the two-class method has not been presented.
The Company excluded the following securities from its computation of diluted shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 as their effect would have been anti-dilutive:
| Three Months EndedSeptember 30, | Nine Months EndedSeptember 30, | |||

Affiliated Land-Based Casinos
Neil Bluhm and his adult children (including Ms. Leslie Bluhm), through their individual capacities, entities or trusts that they have created for the benefit of themselves or their family members, and Greg Carlin, through his individual capacity, entities or trusts that he has created for the benefit of himself or his family members, are direct or indirect owners, directors and/or officers of certain land-based casinos. The Company has entered into certain agreements with these affiliated land-based casinos that create strategic partnerships aimed to capture the online gaming, online sports betting and retail sports services markets in the various states and municipalities where the land-based casinos operate.
Generally, the Company pays a royalty fee to the land-based casino (calculated as a percentage of the Company’s revenue less reimbursable costs or other consideration received as defined in the applicable agreement) in exchange for the right to operate real-money online casino and/or online sports betting under the gaming license of the land-based casinos or for marketing gaming offerings under the land-based casinos’ brand. Royalties related to arrangements with affiliated casinos were $17.3 million and $50.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $11.2 million and $32.5 million for the same periods in 2023, which were net of any consideration received from the affiliated casino for reimbursable costs, as well as costs that are paid directly by the affiliate casino on the Company’s behalf. Net royalties paid are recorded as costs of revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
In certain cases, the affiliate casino maintains the bank account that processes cash deposits and withdrawals for the Company’s customers. Accordingly, at any point in time, the Company will record a receivable from the affiliate, representing the Company’s total gaming revenue (with customers) that was collected by the affiliate, less consideration payable to the affiliate for use of its license, which is offset by any consideration owed to the Company from the affiliate based on the terms of the applicable agreement. Receivables due from affiliated land-based casinos were $16.9 million and $33.5 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
In addition, the Company provides retail sports services to certain affiliated land-based casinos in exchange for a monthly commission based on the casino’s retail sportsbook revenue. Services generally include ongoing management and oversight of the retail sportsbook, technical support for the casino’s customers, risk management, advertising and promotion, and support for third-party vendors’ sports betting equipment. Revenue recognized relating to retail sports services provided to affiliated land-based casinos for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Any payables due to the affiliated land-based casinos are netted against affiliate receivables to the extent a right of offset exists.

In these instances, the Company calculates the future minimum payment as the total milestone payment less any amounts already paid to the partner and includes such payments in the period in which the milestone date occurs. |
