The story

SugarHouse Casino began as a land-based Philadelphia casino property operated by SugarHouse HSP Gaming, L.P. Rush Street Interactive (RSI) leveraged the SugarHouse casino license to launch one of Pennsylvania's first legal online casino and sportsbook platforms at pa.playsugarhouse.com. The physical property was rebranded Rivers Casino Philadelphia in 2021 while the online brand retained the SugarHouse name. The digital platform now operates as part of RSI's broader online gaming portfolio alongside BetRivers, with payment infrastructure centered on player deposits and withdrawals across cards, e-wallets, and bank transfers.
