	 	Re:	 Offer of Employment from Rush Street Interactive, LLC 

Dear Mattias: 
 I am pleased to confirm our offer
of employment to you as the Chief Operating Officer for Rush Street Interactive, LLC (the “Company”). As you know, the Company is developing an internet gaming business. The purpose of this letter is to set forth the terms of our offer of
employment. 
 Start Date & Compensation 

Should you accept this offer, your employment shall commence on a mutually-agreed upon date. Your annualized base compensation will be US
$275,000 per year, subject to normal withholdings and payable in accordance with the Company’s typical payroll procedures and prorated for any partial months. 

Upon commencement of your employment, you will also be eligible to participate in the Company’s discretionary bonus plan as determined in
the discretion of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President (or such representatives as the Company may designate), based on a combination of qualitative and quantitative Company- and employee-specific performance factors. Your
discretionary target bonus will be 50% of the base salary that was actually paid out during the bonus plan year (the “Salary”). 

Upon commencement of your employment, you will be eligible to participate in any regular employee health and insurance benefits offered by the
Company and the Company’s 401(k) plan, according to the terms of those plans. You will also be entitled to paid time off in accordance with the prevailing Company policy as may be in effect from time to time. 

The Company agrees to provide the services outlined in the Relocation Assistance Letter attached hereto as Exhibit A (together with the
costs and expenses incurred by the Company related to obtaining your visa, the “Relocation Expenses”). If before the end of 2017, you are terminated for Cause (defined below) by the Company or you voluntarily resign from the Company, the
Company will be entitled to recover the full amount of the Relocation Expenses. 

 You will also be eligible to receive, on the same terms and conditions as apply to other
executives, an equity interest in the Company equal to two percent of the value Company’s common equity (the “Common Equity”). This Common Equity Interest will vest, in accordance with the terms of applicable plan documents,
twenty percent per year over a five-year period from the date of your commencement of employment (0.4% per year up to a cumulative 2% that vests after five years). Further, subject to the same terms and conditions as available to other senior
executives which are currently being developed, you will have the right, but not the obligation, to invest in the Company’s preferred equity (the “Preferred Equity’”). It is currently anticipated that the Preferred Equity will
receive a preferred return of ten percent via a payment-in-kind coupon and will receive distributions prior to any Common Equity. 
 Duties and
Responsibilities 
 You will report to me as the President of the Company. As the Chief Operating Officer, your responsibilities will
generally include, among other things, overseeing all operations related to the Company’s internet gaming business as well as any other initiatives undertaken by the Company. You may also be responsible for representing the Company before the
public, in the business community and at hearings and meetings held by various public and private organizations. If requested, you will be expected to keep track of and allocate your time and expenses so that they can be reimbursed by the
Company’s clients. The Company may, from time to time, modify these duties or the chain of command in its discretion. Your position will also require intermittent travel. 

At-will Employment 
 Your
employment with the Company will be, at all times, “at will” rather than for a defined period. This means that you may leave your employment with the Company at any time, and the Company may, in its sole discretion, terminate your
employment at any time without notice and for any reason or no reason at all. 
 Notwithstanding this, in light of your relocation in order
to accept employment with the Company, provided that you remain employed and in good standing through December 31, 2016, if you are terminated without Cause (defined below), the Company will provide you with an amount of severance pay equal to six
months of your Salary provided that you sign a severance agreement and release agreement in which you (a) reaffirm your restrictive: covenant obligation to the Company and (b) waive and release any claims against the Company in a form
that is provided to you by the Company. 
 For purposes of this letter, “Cause” is defined as your: (i) failure to abide by
the Company’s policies and procedures, (ii) misconduct, gross negligence, insubordination, or inattention to the Company’s business; (iii) failure to perform the duties required of you up to the standards established by the
Company or other material breach of the terms of this letter or (iv) failure or inability to obtain and maintain all permits and licenses required by the Gaming Laws (defined below) as well as to assist the Company in satisfying the
requirements of the Gaming Laws. 

  
 2 

 Should the Company believe that Cause exists to terminate you and if the acts or omissions
deemed to constitute Cause are determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, to be curable, the Company agrees to provide written notice to you of the specific items identified as Cause and afford you a period of thirty (30) calendar days
from your receipt of the written notice to remedy the circumstances constituting Cause to the Company’s satisfaction. If, at the conclusion of this thirty (30)-day cure period, the Company determines, in
its sole discretion, that you have not satisfactorily remedied such circumstances, you shall be subject to immediate termination without further obligation except to pay any accrued compensation as of the date of such termination. 

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this letter shall prevent the Company from immediately terminating you with Cause if you: (i) are
convicted of felonious criminal conduct or a crime related to illegal drug use; (ii) engage in illegal conduct, conduct that violates the Company’s policy against discrimination and harassment or is physically aggressive conduct toward any
coworker, patron, vendor or customer of the Company or (iii) are required to be terminated by the any gaming authority. Additionally, death or disability that prevents you from performing the essential job functions for the Company shall be
treated as termination with Cause for purposes of this offer letter. 
 No one other than Chief Executive Officer or President of the
Company has the authority to alter this arrangement, to enter into an agreement for employment for a specified period of time, or to make any agreement contrary to this policy, and any such agreement must be in writing and must be signed by an
officer of the Company.

operations (collectively, the ‘‘Gaming Laws”), you must timely obtain and maintain all permits or licenses required under the Gaming Laws. In addition, you agree to comply with all Gaming Laws applicable to you as an employee of the
Company as well as to assist the Company, as necessary, in complying with the Gaming Laws.

offer, if you fail to comply with the foregoing or if you are denied a required license or permit following the end of all applicable appeal periods, or if a regulator having jurisdiction over the Company requires that the Company terminate your
employment. your employment shall terminate immediately, without notice or action on the part of either party hereto and without liability on the part of Company.

such Prior Invention for the purpose of developing, manufacturing, marketing, selling, supporting, and distributing Company products, services, and other Company offerings worldwide either directly or through multiple tiers of distribution. 

(e) Records. I will keep and maintain adequate and current written records with respect to all Employee Inventions
(“Records”). The records may be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, now charts, electronic data or recordings, notebooks, and any other format. The records will be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at
all times. 
 (f) Assistance. I will take all actions requested by the Company and to otherwise cooperate with and assist the
Company or its designee as necessary to obtain, perfect and enforce the Company’s rights in the Employee Inventions, including any proprietary right relating thereto, in any and all countries, including the disclosure to the Company of all
pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of applications, specifications, oaths, assignments, recordations, and other instruments (collectively, “instruments”) which the Company shall deem necessary in
order to apply for, obtain, perfect, maintain, enforce, license or transfer such rights and in order to assign and convey to the Company, its successors, assigns and designees the sole and exclusive right, title and interest in and to the Employee
Inventions, including any proprietary rights relating thereto. My obligation to cooperate with the Company and to execute Instruments as described in this section shall continue after the termination of my employment with the Company for any reason
and the Company shall compensate me at a reasonable rate for the time actually spent by me at the Company’s request with respect to such cooperation after the termination or my employment. I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company
and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, to act for and on my behalf to execute and file any Instruments and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the application for, registration, prosecution,
perfection, issuance, maintenance or transfer of patents, copyrights, and other proprietary rights with the same legal force and effect as if originally executed by me, which designation the Company shall exercise if the Company is unable because of
my mental or physical incapacity, unavailability, or other reason to secure my signature on any instrument as described in this section. I hereby waive and irrevocably assign to the Company any and all claims which I now or hereafter have for
infringement of any and all proprietary rights assigned to the Company under this Agreement. 
 (g) Works for Hire. I
acknowledge that all original works of authorship which are made by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of my employment with the Company and which are eligible for copyright protection are “works made for hire” as that
term is defined in the United States Copyright Act ( 17 U.S.C., Section 101) or any equivalent successor provision or foreign law.

 3. Representations and Covenants. I represent and warrant that: (a) I am not
obligated under any consulting agreement, employment agreement or other agreement or obligation that conflicts with, or would prevent me from fully performing my obligations under, this Agreement, including my obligation to assign all rights to all
Employee Inventions to the Company pursuant to Section 2(b), and I shall not enter into any such agreement or obligation during the period of my employment by the Company; (b) there is no action, investigation, or proceeding pending or
threatened, or any basis for any of the foregoing known to me, involving my prior employment, my prior work for third parties as an independent contractor, or my use of any information or Inventions of any former employer or third party; and
(c) the performance of my duties under this Agreement and my duties as an employee of the Company will not branch, or constitute a default under, any agreement to which I am bound, including any agreement limiting the use or disclosure of
proprietary information acquired prior to my employment with the Company. 
 4. Company Documents. At the time of termination
of my Relationship with the Company, I will deliver to the Company (and will not keep in my possession reproduce or deliver to any third party) any and all Proprietary Information, Inventions (including Employee Inventions), Records, and other
documents or property, or reproductions of any of the foregoing that belong to the Company. I acknowledge that any property situated on the Company’s premises and owned by the Company, including disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or
other work areas, is subject to inspection by Company personnel at any time with or without notice. 
 5. Notification to Other
Parties. In the event that I leave the employ of the Company, I hereby consent to notification by the Company to my new employer or other party for whom I work about the Company’s rights and my obligations under this agreement. 

6. General Provisions. 

(a) Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this agreement shall be governed by the laws of
the State of Illinois. In accordance with Illinois law, this Agreement does not apply to, and I have no obligation to assign to the Company, an invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility, or trade secret information of the Company was used
and which was developed entirely on my own time, unless (a) the invention relates (i) to the business of the Company, or (ii) to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research and development, or (b) the invention
results from any work performed by me for the Company. 
 (b) Interpretation. The term “including’’ and its
variants when used herein means “including.” This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and me relating to the subject matter herein and merges all prior discussions between us. No modification or
amendment to this agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this agreement, will be effective unless in writing signed by the party to be charged. Any subsequent change or changes in my duties, obligation, rights or compensation will not affect
the validity or scope of this Agreement. 
 (c) Survival. This Agreement will be binding upon my heirs, executors,
administrators and other legal representatives and will be for the benefit of the Company, its successors, and its assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of my employment with the Company for any reason and the
assignment of this Agreement by the Company to any successor in interest or other assignee.

 (d) Severability. I acknowledge that the obligations and
restriction contained in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests or the Company and that the Company would not have hired me or granted compensation to me it the absence of such obligations and restrictions.
Each provision in this Agreement is at independent provision and the enforceability of any one provision will not affect the enforceability of any other provision. If one or more of the provisions in this Agreement art deemed void by law, then the
remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. If any particular provision of this Agreement is determined by a court to be excessively broad as to duration, geographic scope, activity or subject to be enforceable, then that provision
will be deemed amended by limiting and reducing it so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with applicable laws. 

(e) Advice of Counsel. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, IN EXECUTING THE
AGREEMENT, I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK THE ADVICE OF INDEPENDENT
LEGAL COUNSEL AND I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THE TERMS AND
PROVISIONS OF THE AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AGAINST
ANY PARTY’ BY REASON OF THE DRAFTING OR PREPARATION HEREOF.
