BetRivers raises Illinois minimum wager to $1 after per-bet tax

Business

BetRivers raised its minimum wager in Illinois to $1, Rush Street Interactive (RSI) chief financial officer Kyle Sauers said during the company’s Q2 2025 earnings call. Illinois introduced a per-bet tax on 1 July, charging operators $0.25 per wager on their first 20 million bets and $0.50 thereafter. Sauers said RSI was still assessing its approach ahead of the NFL season.

The higher minimum wager is BetRivers’ response to Illinois’ per-bet tax, affecting the terms offered to sports bettors.
