Rush Street Gaming has announced its BetRivers brand now has two new ambassadors: former NBA coach George Karl and NFL Hall of Famer Jerome Bettis. A new US-facing marketing campaign called “Bet with a Winner” will feature Bettis and Karl.

Bettis played for the Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams for the first three seasons of his NFL career, but really made his name with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Rush Hour show debuted on September 1 and offers players insight into the sports betting world. Danny Burke serves as host, providing details on all the latest and upcoming games in all sports.
