Another Bite of the Apple

This will enable the confirmation of their location within Pennsylvania’s borders once they access the site through mobile browsers like Chrome or Safari.

Richard Schwartz, Rush Street President, says of this roll-out:

“As we launch our casino site today, we are excited to offer Apple s a way to enjoy the innovative experiences we offer by betting from their mobile devices in Pennsylvania. We’re pleased that players with Apple mobile devices will be able to use the mobile web to play with PlaySugarHouse.com.”
