BetRivers Casino promotions
There are not many, if any promotions outside of the deposit match promo.
Sometimes BetRivers offers a random promo, but for the most part, what you see is what you get.
It is kind of strange, as most online casinos (and sportsbooks for that matter) take pride in their promotions. However, the longtime associate of BetRivers, SugarHouse, which shares the parent company, iRush, also lacks in this department. Therefore, it could just be something the company does not find worth its time and effort.
Rivers Casino Rat Packs
However, the iRush Rewards program is extensive.
BetRivers Casino player rewards program
BetRivers uses the iRush Rewards scheme to award loyal customers.
Rivers Casino Rat Packages
With 10 tiers, this system has a lot to offer players if they are willing to put in the time (and money).
Here are some of the benefits if you climb the rewards program ladder:
- Access to the bonus store.
- A free Apple or Android playing device.
- Custom deposit limit assistance.
- Exclusive BetRivers swag.
- Expedited withdraws.
- Lifetime custom VIP avatar.
- Luxury VIP gifts.
With these offerings, iRush and BetRivers seem to be interested in taking care of their patrons.
Rewards options at BetRivers Casino
The VIP Players Rewards Program is not the only reward system in place at BetRivers Casino.
Here are some of the most exciting opportunities:
- Bonus Bank: The Bonus Bank strives to be easy to understand, flexible and a fair way to claim your bonus money. This system helps players bank their rewards to use later, so they don’t feel pressured to use them or lose them. This system is nice for two reasons. The first is because it lets players use the bonus money on their timetable, not the casino’s. The second is that this flexibility offers players the ability to save up their rewards.
- Bonus Store: The Bonus Store adds to the fun of receiving rewards because it is a place where players decide what they want. For instance, players can “buy” wheels with accumulated rewards that offer guaranteed cash prizes. There are many other items for sale, too.
