What the Geolocation Check Actually Does
When you tap into the lobby — whether you're heading to Speed Blackjack, checking NFL point-spread lines, or browsing the slots floor — our system sends a one-time location ping through your browser or the mobile app. That ping confirms your device is physically inside a state where access is permitted under local law. The check uses your device's GPS signal, your
Wi-Fi network data, or your IP address, in that order of priority. It takes only a few seconds on most connections. Players in Chicago and Los Angeles have flagged that switching from a home Wi-Fi network to mobile data mid-session can briefly interrupt the check — logging out and back in usually resolves it immediately.
