(NYSE: RSI) ("RSI"), which operates the BetRivers and PlaySugarHouse online casino and sportsbook brands, has been named to this year's Top 10 List of the Most Influential Women in iGaming by iGaming Business (iGB).

The well-respected iGB media group created these awards to showcase the industry's most accomplished women and inspire others to progress their careers within the industry. iGB, the publishing division of ICE London organizer Clarion Gaming, introduced the list in 2018 to try to redress the gender imbalance that exists at the highest levels of the gaming industry. The women selected are champions of diversity and women who continually strive to raise the profile of the entire industry. Those named to this year's Top 10 List were selected by a panel of judges made up of iGaming industry leaders from around the globe.

"I am honored to be a member of this year's list of women who have played key roles in transformations within their companies and the gaming industry," said Laura McAllister Cox, Chief Compliance Officer of RSI. "At RSI I am extremely proud of the diverse and high quality team we have brought together, and am always mindful of creating an organization and culture that provides equal opportunities for women and other underrepresented groups."

"In addition to being an accomplished attorney and respected compliance champion for the gaming industry, Laura brings her vision and uses her voice on a daily basis to shape and strengthen how RSI embraces diversity, equity and inclusion throughout all aspects of our business," said Richard Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer of RSI.

Laura McAllister Cox joined Rush Street Gaming in early 2016 and was named Chief Compliance Officer at RSI on February 8, 2021. She has been in the gaming industry for more than four decades and says: "Women in gaming have come a long way."
