What Makes BetRivers Different From Other Casinos?

BetRivers stands out from the competition by its:

• Number of Games: 750 to 1,800 (depending on location)

• Number of Payment Options: 9+

• Fast Redemptions: RushPay Instant Approvals

• Extensive iRush Rewards Program

• Customer Service: Live Chat & Phone Service

• Virtual Sports, Up to 26 Live Dealer Games (depending on location)

I gave BetRivers a 9.5 for its Comparison rating because it has a large library of games, fast withdrawals, a solid first-purchase bonus, live chat and phone customer service, and an extensive rewards program.

It fell short only because BetRivers doesn’t offer a no-deposit bonus like many of its competitors do.

Playing on Desktop

Out of the dozens of games I played on the BetRivers site, I tested loading 10 games to see how long it took for them to launch.

Games loaded in under 10 seconds, which is a pretty solid load time for online casino games.

Because the BetRivers website is actually four different sites, depending on which state you play in, the user experience varies slightly.

Deposits, withdrawals, rewards, and bonus fund progress are all very easy to find – these live in page headers and the main menu navigation.

I was always able to find the games I wanted to play, as the categories are arranged at the top of the casino lobby, no matter which site you launch.

Since BetRivers has such a large selection of slot titles, it would have been nice to be able to filter games by developer, minimum or maximum bet, or jackpot slots. I also would have liked to view return-to-player percentages (RTP) and other pertinent game information on the title cards.

Aside from these two points, my overall experience was really good. The website is well designed and I didn’t experience any load issues or bugs.

For all these reasons, I awarded BetRivers Casino a 9.4 User Experience rating.

Playing on Mobile

The BetRivers mobile app is available for Android and Apple devices, so you can take your gameplay with you wherever you go.

I found the BetRivers app to mirror the desktop experience pretty accurately. I was able to verify my account, deposit funds, play online casino games, and make withdrawals right in the app.

Aside from the smaller screen size, there was virtually no difference between playing on the app and on the desktop website.

For all these reasons, I awarded BetRivers a 9.2 for its Promotions.

VIP Program

The BetRivers rewards program, iRush Rewards, is one of the most extensive rewards programs I’ve seen at any online casino.

For every wager you make, you’ll get points to help you climb rewards tiers.

The points you’ll receive are based on how much you wager on casino games – and the RTP of each game you play.

The table below shows how much you need to wager on games, based on game RTP, to receive 1 iRush Rewards point.

Once you start accumulating points, you’ll be able to exchange your points for benefits in the iRush Bonus store. You’ll also be eligible to claim other types of rewards, once you reach Tier 3.

The table below shows all the benefits available at each tier level.

Once you reach a tier, you’ll need to keep making wagers to keep your status. Your tier level isn’t just determined by the number of points you earn – it takes into account how many points you’ve accrued in the past 31 to 60 days.

To check your tier status, points accrued, and rewards points, keep your eye on the Bonus Money Meter. The meter can be found in “My Bonuses” or “My Account”.

Just some of the rewards available in the Bonus Store include:

• Bonus Money

• Wheel Spins

• Scratch Cards

• Bingo Game Cards (MI, NJ & WV)

You may need to reach higher tiers to get access to certain Bonus Store rewards.

The “My Bonus Bank” page shows which bonuses are eligible for redemption.

iRush Rewards Terms and Conditions

• 1x wagering requirement on Bonus Money

Deposits

When I was ready to make my first deposit, I was able to choose from up to 10 methods to fund my BetRivers casino account.

Before making a deposit, I had to first verify my account by uploading a photo of my government-issued ID and a selfie including my ID in the photo.
