Michigan quickly establishes itself as the busiest legal sports betting state in its first weekend, based on geolocation transaction data

Virginia and Michigan together added over 400,000 new accounts in their first weekend

– Legal online betting is now available to 70 million adults in 17 states and provides responsible gaming measures, consumer protections and tax revenues

– Seven more states now have access to legal betting today than one year ago

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Record volumes were recorded this past weekend for legal U.S. online gaming and sports betting. This signals U.S. consumers favor the regulated U.S. industry and are turning away from the illegal, unprotected, offshore bookie businesses of the past. It also means revenues that were once channelled to the illegal market, are now staying in the communities where these bettors live.

According to data from GeoComply, this year’s NFL Conference Championship weekend saw more than 30 million geolocation transactions* recorded in 17 U.S. online betting states (including the District of Columbia), an increase of 260% over the same weekend in 2020. GeoComply is the leading provider of geolocation compliance technology used by the online gaming industry to verify the location of bettors.

Two new states, Michigan and Virginia, launched legal operations just in time for the weekend’s games and from those markets alone 7.5 million transactions came from over 400,000 accounts, making up 25% of overall volumes across the U.S. market. The addition of Michigan and Virginia helped drive all-time high transactions* in a weekend that featured a heavy sporting event schedule.

«Hundreds of thousands of people in Michigan and Virginia placed legal online bets for the first time this past weekend,» said Seth Palansky, Conscious Gaming’s vice president of corporate social responsibility. «This demonstrates that Americans will abandon illegal websites and the street corner bookie to place their trust in companies that are accountable, provide robust consumer protections and responsible gaming measures.»

Moreover, the tax dollars that were previously siphoned off by illegal gambling operators, are now staying in the United States; benefiting state governments and taxpayers and creating economic growth. In 2020, legal online gaming in the U.S. generated hundreds of millions in tax dollars for cash strapped states. 

As more and more states seek to legalize and regulate various forms of internet gambling and sports wagering, Conscious Gaming, an independent non-profit created by GeoComply, is committed to technological innovations that protect consumers, strengthen responsible gaming programs and make self exclusion programs effective and universal.

«As the industry grows, it is important for it to remain firmly committed to protecting problem bettors and putting additional processes in place to ensure the growth can be managed effectively and responsibly,» added Palansky.

Conscious Gaming has created PlayPause, an innovative multi-state repository enabling consumers to self-exclude from online betting. It also allows other prohibited individuals (athletes, coaches, employees, etc.) to be easily added to the database and excluded from betting. PlayPause works to better protect consumers, break down silos and encourage information-sharing among state regulators, operators and sports leagues. PlayPause prevents vulnerable players or prohibited individuals from betting, regardless of where they are, instead of just inside their current state borders, as it is now.

*data includes GeoComply geolocation transactions from regulated U.S. online gaming and online sports wagering in CO, D.C., DE, IA, IL, IN, MI, MT, NV, NH, NJ, OR, PA, RI, TN, VA and WV.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla., Jan. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — On Saturday, January 23, 2021, the fifth running of the Pegasus World Cup Championship Invitational Series was held at Gulfstream Park in South Florida. Gulfstream Park was transformed by 1/ST into a socially distant entertainment experience welcoming 1,500 fans (15% of typical Pegasus World Cup capacity) to the race track for the first time since the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Belinda Stronach, Chairman and President, 1/ST, hosted celebrity guests including, Amar’e Stoudemire (Six-time NBA All-Star Player and NBA’s Brooklyn Nets Assistant Coach), Tyga (Rapper, Singer & TV Personality), Jasmine Sanders (Sports Illustrated Cover Model), Denis Savard (NHL Hall of Famer), Brian Poli-Dixon (Artist & Former NFL Player), David Grutman (Groot Hospitality Founder) and Isabela Rangel Grutman (Model).

Odds favorite, Knicks Go owned by Korea Racing Authority, ridden by Award-winning jockey Joel Rosario and trained by Brad Cox, won the $3 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational (G1) and an automatic entry into the 2021 $20 million Saudi Cup. Belinda Stronach presented the winning owners of the Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational and Pegasus World Cup Invitational with crystal Pegasus trophies provided by the official trophy partner, Baccarat. The winning trainers and jockeys from the Pegasus World Cup Championship Series races were presented with Championship Rings designed by local Miami jeweler, BooDaddy Diamonds.

Despite the limited crowd in attendance, total handle for the 2021 Pegasus World Cup Championship Invitational Series topped $40.7 million dollars, the third highest handle in the race’s history, due in part to the success of the 1/ST BET app. Part of the 1/ST TECHNOLOGY suite of handicapping and betting products, 1/ST BET uses AI-technology to deliver a user-friendly mobile wagering experience that suits everyone from the experienced horseplayer to the first-time bettor.

«The 2021 Pegasus World Cup Championship Invitational Series was held under much different circumstances then all those that have come before it, but it did not disappoint,» said Belinda Stronach, Chairman and President, 1/ST. «Today, thanks to the cooperation of the horsemen, our many partners, guests in attendance and the 1/ST team, the Pegasus World Cup successfully blended a day of safe, world-class Thoroughbred horse racing with a socially distant entertainment experience setting a new standard for events in our sport during the COVID-19 era.»

This year, 1/ST again teamed up with Groot Hospitality to create a socially distant Pegasus Swan Garden pop-up offering guests an exclusive VIP experience in a «Tulum meets Swan» setting. 1/ST also teamed up with Red Rooster Overtown to curate a menu of Southern classics and elevated sips for the racing connections in Gulfstream Park’s Flamingo Room. Notorious Pink Rosé, Evian Natural Spring Water and Ferraelle Naturally Sparkling Water kept guests cool under the race day sunshine.

Musical performances took place both at the track and off-site. At Gulfstream Park, Yoli Mayor, the Miami-born semi-finalist on Season 12 of America’s Got Talent on NBC, performed the national anthem, and Jakissa Taylor Semple, aka DJ Kiss, provided the beats in the trackside Pegasus Swan Garden. As part of NBC’s Pegasus World Cup in-broadcast performance Aloe Blacc, the singer-songwriter of hits including «I Need a Dollar,» «The Man,» and «Wake Me Up,» performed live from Red Rooster Overtown as a tribute to Miami’s diverse and vibrant culture.

Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, 1/ST has developed and implemented industry-leading COVID-19 safety measures at its tracks and facilities across the United States. The 2021 Pegasus World Cup implemented strict social distancing protocols and new health and safety guidelines for riders and spectators. On premise attendance for this year’s event was reduced to 15% to allow all guests to socially distance accordingly. Thermal sensing cameras at all entrances checked guest temperatures, and masks were required. Cleaning protocols provided regular sanitizing of public spaces, and cashless wagering via 1/ST BET eliminated the handling of currency.

The medication-free format, for both the 2021 Pegasus World Cup Invitational and Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational, is consistent with the International Federation of Horse Racing Authorities (IFHA) standards and reflects the commitment that 1/ST made in April 2019 to eliminate Lasix in all graded stakes races in 2021.

As part of 1/ST‘s mission to prioritize the care and safety of Thoroughbred racehorses before, during and after their careers, the 2021 Pegasus World Cup Championship Invitational Series recognized the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance as a charitable partner of choice with a $50,000 donation.

Detroit-area Couple Awarded Electric Vehicle as Part of POWERHOME SOLAR ‘PWR YOUR LIFE’ Sweepstakes

DETROIT, Jan. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — POWERHOME SOLAR, a leading provider of solar panel installation and energy efficiency services, is giving away three new Chevrolet Bolts as part of its «PWR Your Life» sweepstakes aimed at increasing awareness of sustainable and eco-friendly living.

The first electric car is being awarded Tuesday, January 26 at 1 p.m. to Bob and Kathy Prochaska of St. Clair Shores, Michigan. The couple was chosen from thousands of people automatically entered into a drawing for agreeing to a free in-home sales consultation in December with POWERHOME SOLAR about the value of installing solar at their home.
The fast-growing solar company will stage similar drawings in February and March.

Bob, who operates his own business repairing vinyl and leather furniture, says the unexpected prize comes on the heels of a challenging 2020. His business was hit particularly hard by COVID-19 because of shutdowns in Michigan affecting industries he services, including restaurants, car lots, and marinas. Winning a car valued at more than $35,000 comes at an opportune time.

«When it completely sunk in that we won a car, my wife was looking at me going, ‘This doesn’t happen to people like us,'» Bob says, noting that his father and Kathy’s parents worked for GM, making this gift of a Chevrolet electric vehicle especially meaningful. «We’ve never won anything like this.»

POWERHOME SOLAR’s initiative aligns with President Joe Biden’s call for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, as well as GM’s new «Everybody In» campaign and its call to create a world with zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion.

«We talk about doing the right thing for customers all the time, and giving away three electric vehicles fits right into our mission to recognize the families who have turned to us to help them make the move to cleaner energy,» said Jayson Waller, POWERHOME SOLAR CEO. «We want everyone to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels, not only for their electricity needs but in the cars they drive.»
