Rush Street Interactive (NYSE: RSI) reported strong second-quarter earnings after the bell Wednesday, extending its track record of raising full-year guidance alongside quarterly results.

Driven by continued momentum in its iGaming segment, Rush Street boosted its 2026 outlook for the second time this year. The company now expects full-year revenue of $1.56 billion to $1.6 billion and EBITDA of $245 million to $265 million—representing year-over-year revenue growth of 38% to 41% and an EBITDA surge of 59% to 72%. That is up from RSI’s April forecast, which projected full-year revenue of $1.49 billion to $1.54 billion and EBITDA of $230 million to $250 million.
“These guidance ranges reflect our confidence in the underlying strength of our business, while incorporating prudent assumptions about market maturation and competitive dynamics,” according to the company.
The Chicago-based operator added the updated 2026 outlook is inclusive of only the markets in which it’s operational today and accounts for the 16% tax in Colombia. It launched iGaming in Alberta, Canada earlier this month.
iGaming Paying Off for Rush Street Interactive
The shares dipped during Wednesday’s (July 27) after-hours session, but Rush Street Interactive has been one of the best-performing gaming names over the past year and its emphasis on online casinos is a big reason why.
While larger sportsbook-centric rivals such as DraftKings (NASDAQ: DKNG) and Flutter Entertainment (NYSE: FLUT) are struggling, Rush Street is thriving, aided by its emphasis on the higher-margin internet casino segment.
“Our casino-first strategy continues to be the foundation of our business, with online casino representing 72% of our revenue this quarter,” said CEO Richard Schwartz in a press release. “Player growth remained strong, with North American monthly average users (MAUs) growing 51% year-over-year and Latin America MAUs growing 62% year-over-year.”
Rush Street’s Latin America exposure, largely comprised of three countries in the region, was a boon for the operator during the World Cup with Wall Street recently highlighting the operator as one of the clear beneficiaries of the quadrennial soccer tournament.
Record-Setting Q2
It’s in the rearview mirror now, but the Bet Rivers operator notched record-setting results in the April through June period. Rush Street posted net income of $29.3 million and EBITDA of $64.6 million on revenue of $393.8 million, all of which are quarterly records. Revenue surged 46% on a year-over-year basis.
“Average Revenue per Monthly Active User (ARPMAU) in North America was $320 during the second quarter of 2026 while ARPMAU in Latin America was $55,” according to the company.
