Rush Street Interactive offers a suite of digital app products designed for online casino gaming and sports betting under brands like BetRivers and PlaySugarHouse. While the team is located in Estonia, their digital platforms serve users in the United States and Latin America, combining real-money wagering with innovative features such as live betting, integrated loyalty programs, and real-time stats.
The Challenge
Ensuring a consistent, user-friendly, secure, and compliant experience across a wide range of devices, operating systems, and user environments posed a major challenge for Rush Street Interactive. Despite having a large internal QA team, they lacked the localized expertise and on-the-ground presence needed to test their apps in real-world conditions around the globe. Cloud-based testing alone could not capture the full range of potential issues, and sourcing devices in each region proved too costly and time-consuming to be practical.
To maintain quality amid frequent release cycles, Rush Street Interactive sought a partner that could provide broad, real-world device coverage, while staying cost-efficient and aligned with their goals.
Solution
Rush Street Interactive partnered with Testlio to strengthen its testing capabilities across devices, geographies, and use cases. With a bi-weekly release cadence, the team leverages Testlio as a quality gate, ensuring thorough testing coverage before deployment.
Real-Device Testing
Testlio provides broad device coverage and real-world testing with people on real devices in real locations, critical for a company expanding across different U.S. states and international markets like Colombia or Mexico. For every new market launch, whether in Florida or Bogotá, Testlio activates local and highly skilled, domain-aligned testers to validate functionality, localization, and compliance in the actual environments users experience.
API Integrations
With Testlio’s pre-built API integrations, Rush Street Interactive is able to automatically schedule and run tests directly through its existing workflows. The system is fully interconnected with the Testlio platform end-to-end. Test cases are written, device segments are defined (including screen sizes and OS versions), and test runs are automatically pushed to qualified testers across multiple geographies. With the integration in place, the team receives bug reports faster with immediate access to uploaded files, images, and more accurate responses, streamlining the entire testing process.
“Working with Testlio for over eight years has really transformed the way we do testing. Having real people testing on real devices in the markets we serve helps us catch issues much faster and deliver a smoother experience for our users.”
