Geolocation Overview on Betfred

Geolocation is a technology that determines your location using your device's GPS or IP address. It is an important tool for ensuring that online sports betting is legal and secure in the United States. Betfred Sportsbook uses geolocation to verify that users are physically located in states where online sports betting is legal and regulated.

Why is geolocation important on the Betfred app in the US?

• Legal Compliance: Online sports betting is only legal in certain states in the US. Geolocation ensures that only users who are physically located within those states can access Betfred Sportsbook and place bets. This helps to ensure that Betfred Sportsbook complies with state laws and regulations.

• Security: Geolocation helps to prevent unauthorized access to your Betfred Sportsbook account. By verifying your location, Betfred can confirm that you are the legitimate owner of the account and prevent others from accessing it without your permission.

• Fairness: Geolocation helps to ensure fairness in online sports betting by preventing users from placing bets outside of legal jurisdictions. This helps to maintain the integrity of the betting markets and ensures that all users have an equal chance of winning.

How does geolocation work on the Betfred app in the US?

When you open the Betfred app in the US, the app will automatically use your device's GPS or IP address to determine your location. If you are located in a state where online sports betting is legal and regulated, you will be able to access the app and place bets.

However, if you are located outside of a legal jurisdiction, you will not be able to access the app or place bets. This is because Betfred Sportsbook is required to comply with state laws and regulations governing online sports betting.

In some cases, geolocation technology may not be able to accurately determine your location. This can happen if you are in an area with poor GPS or cell service, or if you are using a VPN or other location-hiding software. If you are having trouble accessing the Betfred app due to geolocation issues, please contact customer support for assistance.
