In Latin America, MAUs climbed to 415,000, a 30% increase, with an ARPMAU of $27. The company attributed these gains to ongoing expansion in regulated iGaming markets and better retention through payment and product innovation.<\/p>\n<p>Schwartz said the company views prediction markets as an interesting but secondary development. He described them as a<em> \u201cpotential legislative accelerant\u201d t<\/em>hat could, over time, prompt states to legalize online casinos more broadly if they start eroding taxable sportsbook revenue. That shift, he added, would play directly to RSI\u2019s strengths.<\/p>\n<p>The company reaffirmed its commitment to monitoring the evolution of prediction markets but reiterated that it will only integrate such features once a clear regulatory path emerges.

Our third quarter results demonstrate continued momentum and acceleration of growth across key markets, led by our continued outperformance in the online casino space. Another quarter of record revenue, up 20% year-over-year, marks our tenth consecutive quarter of sequential revenue growth over the prior quarter. This growth was driven by record player acquisition and strong player engagement across our higher-value markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>He further highlighted the strength of RSI\u2019s North American growth:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWhat makes these results particularly compelling is the continued acceleration of growth in North American online casino markets. Delivering exceptional 46% year-over-year MAU growth, our United States and Canada online casino markets recorded the second highest quarterly growth rate since early 2021, achieved off a much larger player base. We\u2019ve now seen accelerating year-over-year growth in this player base every single month since March, indicating strong underlying momentum that extends well beyond seasonal factors. We also had a record quarter as it relates to first-time depositors, beating our prior record by more than 10% while reducing marketing spend compared to the same period last year. This broad-based acceleration, even across our most mature markets validates our strategic approach of focusing on product differentiation and a high-quality customer experience.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, RSI expects its momentum to continue as it scales operations across North America and Latin America while keeping its focus on player engagement and sustainable growth.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAs we look ahead, we remain deeply committed to our player-first approach, delivering exceptional experiences and innovating in ways to drive engagement, positioning us for continued momentum and long-term success,\u201d<\/em> Schwartz concluded.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/mirax-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Mirax Casino\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mirax-Casino.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/mirax-casino\/\" title=\"Mirax Casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mirax Casino<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>350% or 5BTC + <strong>150 Spins!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
