How to Register using the Rivers Sportsbook Promo Code
Contents
March 9th, 2020, remains a historic day in the Illinois gambling industry. This marked the first day a legal sports wager was taken in the state. The wager was taken at Rivers Casino (BetRivers venue) who partnered with Rush Street Gaming in providing the sportsbook.
As it stands, a player can now walk into the casino and head to the BetRivers venue to make a sports wager. However, no online platform has been provided as yet and we believe this might now be the next step they are about to take. If launched, the first major step would be to create an account. This is the new player’s sign up process BetRivers sportsbooks in Colorado, Indiana, and Pennsylvania provides;
- Click the above button for exclusive BetRivers access
- Go to the ‘Join Now’ option
- Fill in your accurate information on the fields provided. They include; Screen Name, Email Address, Password, Name, Address, Zip Code, DOB, SSN, and mobile Number.
- Provide your eligible Rivers sportsbook online promo code/Rivers sportsbook online bonus code to access special offers on the option ‘Affiliation Code’
- Follow prompts and click ‘Complete’ for sign up
We expect that once an online sportsbook is launched for Illinois players, the same process will be followed. Quick points to remember and note is that the new player must be located in Illinois at the time of playing and must be over 21-years-old.
What is the welcome bonus at Rivers Sportsbook (Retail and Online)
The retail sportsbook has not offered yet a welcome bonus but we expect that this will soon change. On the anticipation that Rivers sportsbook might go online, we expect that the BetRivers welcome bonus will be a 100% bonus up to $250. This is in line with what BetRivers has offered in the states the operator is accessible (CO, PA, and IN). To get the bonus, a player will have to redeem it via the code 250MATCH and deposit at least $10.
The promotion will be subject to terms and conditions.

Rivers Sportsbook Review (Retail and Online)
The games selection at Rivers Sportsbook (Retail and Online)
The BetRivers retail sportsbook is featured on a 4,840 sq. ft. sports bar that is fitted with five betting windows, 30 sportsbook kiosks, 10 86-inch and 4 75-inch HDTVs, and a 47-foot-wide LED High Definition wall. The features in the sportsbook speak of a casino that has invested much into a great player’s gaming experience. To top it all, players can wager on a variety of sports games including the popular football events, Basketball, Baseball, Soccer, Ice Hockey, and many more. The sports selection has seen events such as NFL, MLB, NBA, and more offered for wagering.
On the brighter side, complimentary features have also been provided including the BetBuilder feature. The feature involves you setting your bet on the phone by viewing the games, markets, and selecting your pick, entering your stake, and seeing what you can garner if the bet wins. Other features include the bet types such as straight bets, parlays, totals, props, futures, and live betting. Popular markets have also been provided with soccer, for example, providing markets such as; Full Time, Total Goals, Goal markets, Corner markets, and more.

Games such as Buffalo Gold, Treasure Ball, and Lightning Link are provided. Over 65 table games are also available for players thanks to selections such as; Blackjack, Baccarat & Mini-Baccarat, Crap, Roulette, and Mississippi Stud Poker.
The range of promotions at Rivers Sportsbook (Retail and Online)
The retail sportsbook offers promotions depending on the season or ongoing events. Players can also enjoy a variety of giveaways. A visit to the sportsbook will keep you up to date on the promotions you qualify for.
However, if BetRivers Sportsbook Illinois goes live, we expect better promotions. The already live BetRivers sportsbooks provide better but limited promotions. This includes odds boost which, as the name suggests, boosts the odds on several events that in turn provide a good payout. A loyalty program is also on offer dubbed ‘iRush Rewards VIP Program’ that rewards players based on their plays at the sportsbook. We expect even more promotions to be made available once the sportsbook is live.
Other services offered at Rivers Casino Des Plaines
While players enjoy gambling, other guests can also have something to enjoy at Rivers Casino. The premise offers dining services through some of its venues/facilities such as; Canopy Buffet, Lotus, and Coffee Spot. There is also entertainment offered in the casino at Lotus and at the BetRivers sportsbook.
Payment methods
You can make transactions on the sportsbook either via cash payment or credit cards such as American Express, Discover, and Visa/MasterCard. Once the online sportsbook is launched, other methods we anticipate will be;
- Bank Transfer
- ACH/eChecks
- Checks by Mail
- PayPal
- Skrill
- Neteller
- PaySafeCard
- Sofort
- Trustly
- ecoPayz
and more…
Alternatives to Rivers Sportsbook (Retail)
Only BetRivers Sportsbook is operating in Illinois. However, more sportsbooks are anticipated to launch and will act as alternatives to Illinois players. They include;
The other legalized sportsbook in Illinois but has not yet launched officially. Players can expect to make wagers on the sportsbook soon enough. However, only dining services are offered in the casino
Harrah’s Casino Joliet has not yet offered a sportsbook and neither has there been any communication. However, with its operator being Harrah’s, we expect that a sportsbook can be launched in the future. What’s good, however, is that players can access the poker room to play.
Hollywood Casino Joliet is nearing completion of its retail sportsbook launch. This will be another alternative to players once it is officially launched. For now, players can enjoy various services aside from casino gaming. Dining, accommodation, and entertainment services are all available.
