Iowa’s Sports Betting Market Poised for Boom with Expiration of In-Person Registration, According to PlayIA.com

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Iowa took a monumental step in its development as a sports betting industry on New Year’s Day with the expiration of the state’s in-person registration requirement to bet online, opening the door to exponential growth that should generate billions in annual wagers, according to analysts for PlayIA,…

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Iowa took a monumental step in its development as a sports betting industry on New Year’s Day with the expiration of the state’s in-person registration requirement to bet online, opening the door to exponential growth that should generate billions in annual wagers, according to analysts for PlayIA, which tracks Iowa’s legal sports betting and gambling industries.

«The in-person registration requirement has unquestionably stunted the growth of Iowa’s online sports betting, which the main engine in every state where online sports betting is legal,» said Jessica Welman, analyst for PlayIA.com. «With the requirement in place, Iowa would have never reached its potential as a market. Letting the requirement expire is akin to correcting a mistake, and we expect Iowa to blossom because of that correction.»

PlayIA analysts projected in 2019 that within five years Iowa would grow into a market that generated more than $4 billion in bets annually, more than $300 million a year in operator revenue, and more than $20 million a year in state taxes.

But Iowa’s start has been muted by in-person-registration, which required that online bettors sign up in-person at a physical sportsbook. Since launching in August 2019, Iowa has generated a total $682.6 million in wagers and $53.4 million revenue, according to official statistics. That has produced $3.7 million in state taxes.

Illinois launched earlier this year with an in-person registration requirement and then suspended it over the summer. The effect on that market was immediate. With just one operator, Illinois grew wagers to $52.5 million in July 2020 from $8.3 million in June 2020 and saw an immediate influx of 230,000 mobile sports betting accounts in the days after the state lifted in-person registration requirements, all as a slew of new operators launched.

In the months since, Illinois has grown to the fourth largest market in the U.S., generating $434.4 million in wagers in October 2020 alone.

«Illinois showed just how much drag in-person registration puts on a market,» said Dustin Gouker, analyst for PlayIA.com. «It was an uneven, unsure start, but almost as soon as the registration requirement was suspended the market embarked on an expansion that has been the most rapid in U.S. history.»

In November, Iowa ranked No. 7 among states where sports betting is legal with a state record $87.2 million in wagers. That still significantly lagged No. 6 Colorado, which has about twice the population as Iowa but attracted $231.2 million in November bets.

Home to some of the best-known brands in online sports betting, operators’ interest in the Hawkeye State has already increased. BetMGM, one of the largest operators in the U.S., launched on Monday. And more could come soon.

«With a fair tax rate and strong regulatory framework, Iowa was already an attractive market for operators,» Welman said. «This was the missing piece. With the in-person registration requirement now gone, Iowa can truly reach its potential as a sports betting market.»

Fuel Cell Enabling Technologies, Inc. Announces First Major Customer, Signs Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Purchase of Fuel Cells for Locomotives

ALPHARETTA, Ga., and CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Fuel Cell Enabling Technologies, Inc. (FCET), a start-up energy technology company that has developed a novel, low-cost solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system, has announced a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with NextGenPropulsion, LLC (NGP) indicating NGP’s intent to purchase FCET fuel cells for NGP light-rail trains and freight locomotives. In addition to fuel cell orders, this would mean engineering…

ALPHARETTA, Ga., and CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Fuel Cell Enabling Technologies, Inc. (FCET), a start-up energy technology company that has developed a novel, low-cost solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system, has announced a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with NextGenPropulsion, LLC (NGP) indicating NGP’s intent to purchase FCET fuel cells for NGP light-rail trains and freight locomotives. In addition to fuel cell orders, this would mean engineering collaboration between the two firms, each bringing its specific and considerable expertise to these projects.

Locomotives have for some time been considered a prime target for new and renewable propulsion technology, but this collaboration may result in the first rail application of a fuel cell in the United States. NGP chose FCET’s fuel cell due in large part to its low-cost, high-efficiency design, making it a perfect candidate for installation in both light-rail and freight locomotive applications.

«We couldn’t have asked for a better partner and a better application of FCET’s technology… the promise of fuel cells in rail applications has always been at the forefront of our minds at FCET, and so we are thrilled to be playing a central role in this huge leap in locomotive technology» said Paul Fisher, FCET CEO.

NGP has already established itself as a leader in advancing US rail propulsion technology. Members of their team have previously partnered with the University of Birmingham and the University of Warwick, both in the United Kingdom, where prototype hydrogen-powered trains have been operating for years. FCET’s SOFC would be an improvement over existing PEM designs due to SOFC’s advantages in efficiency and power density. Previously, however, SOFC type cells were considered too complex and too expensive for such applications.

«FCET’s low temperature and low cost offer the best of both worlds for NGP: a high-efficiency cell at a price point that will make the commercialization of hydrogen-powered rail not only a possibility, but an obvious replacement for current, century-old technology» according to Dr. Keith Baarson, one of NGP’s founders and chief engineers.

For questions, please contact Paul Fisher at (330) 730-8750 or 262281@email4pr.com
