(1)	Represents (i) 1,354,402 shares of Class A Common Stock and 14,073,639 shares of Class V Common Stock held of record by Mr. Carlin; and (ii) 575,090 shares of Class A Common Stock and 4,959,006 shares of Class V Common Stock held of record by the Greg and Marcy Carlin Family Trust for which Mr. Carlin, as a trustee of the Greg and Marcy Carlin Family Trust, may be deemed to be a beneficial owner. On March 2, 2023, Mr. Carlin resigned as trustee of the Carlin G3 Trust and three new trustees were appointed, none of whom is deemed to beneficially own any of the securities held by the Carlin G3 Trust.  Because Mr. Carlin no longer has voting or dispositive power with respect to the  shares of Class V Common Stock held of record by the Carlin G3 Trust, he is therefore no longer deemed to have beneficial ownership of the securities held by the Carlin G3 Trust. Therefore, the Carlin G3 Trust is no longer included as a reporting person in this Schedule 13D.
(2)	Represents 258,906 shares of Class V Common Stock held of record by Rush Street Interactive GP, LLC (“RSI GP”), for which Mr. Carlin may be deemed to be a beneficial owner.
(3)	Based on information provided by the Issuer in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on March 2, 2022, the Issuer reported 65,114,375 shares of Class A Common Stock and 155,955,584 shares of Class V Common Stock outstanding on March 1, 2023. The Class V Common Stock (together with an equal number of corresponding RSI Units) are convertible into an equivalent number of shares of Class A Common Stock, and, prior to such exchange, the Class V Common Stock votes together with the Class A Common Stock on all matters and accordingly provides as-converted voting rights to holders of RSI Units. In accordance with the SEC’s rules for calculating “beneficial ownership,” which requires the Reporting Person to assume conversion of all of such person’s shares of Class V Common Stock and RSI Units (and disregard Class V Common Stock held by other persons, notwithstanding their current voting rights), the Reporting Person would be deemed to beneficially own approximately 24.09% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, provided that, 7.10% would nevertheless represent the Reporting Person’s actual economic and voting interest in the Issuer.

Mr. Carlin, as a trustee of the Greg and Marcy Carlin Family Trust, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities held by the Greg and Marcy Carlin Family Trust.

(2)

Based on information provided by the Issuer in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on March 2, 2023, the Issuer reported 65,114,375 shares of Class A Common Stock and 155,955,584 shares of Class V Common Stock outstanding on March 1, 2023. The Class V Common Stock (together with an equal number of corresponding RSI Units) are convertible into an equivalent number of shares of Class A Common Stock, and, prior to such exchange, the Class V Common Stock votes together with the Class A Common Stock on all matters and accordingly provides as-converted voting rights to holders of RSI Units. In accordance with the SEC’s rules for calculating “beneficial ownership,” which requires the Reporting Person to assume conversion of all of such person’s shares of Class V Common Stock and RSI Units (and disregard Class V Common Stock held by other persons, notwithstanding their current voting rights), the Reporting Person would be deemed to beneficially own approximately 8.50% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, provided that, 2.50% would nevertheless represent the Reporting Person’s actual economic and voting interest in the Issuer.
