Richard Schwartz, chief executive officer of RSI, said in the company’s press release: “We are extremely pleased with our record first quarter results, achieving company quarterly record revenues and adjusted EBITDA of $217 million and $17 million, respectively. This was accomplished by growing both our iCasino and Online Sports businesses by over 35% year-over-year, in large part by acquiring new players more efficiently while simultaneously increasing the number and value of our s.”

Schwartz said in the earnings call: “Our next likely market launch will be Peru, which we anticipate to be later this summer. We are finalizing our plans and strategy, and we are very excited about this opportunity.
