Location Services

Updated this week

Laws regulating daily fantasy sports platforms, like Dabble Fantasy, vary between states and regions. To ensure our members play only in authorized areas, we employ a geolocation service.

Social features are accessible across the United States, while real-money games are restricted to specific states. Users are encouraged to check the eligible states for real-money games directly within the app or via the link here.

Restrictions on real-money gameplay are determined by your physical location, not the state of your ID. Even if your ID is from an eligible state, you must be physically present in a permitted area to access these features.

Please make sure you have followed the steps outlined below if you have encountered a problem with your location:

  1. Enable Wi-Fi: Ensure your Wi-Fi is turned on to improve location accuracy. The device uses nearby network information for better detection and it doesn’t require you to connect to an active network.

    • Mobile: Go to your device settings > Wi-Fi and switch it on.

  2. Allow Location Access: Verify that location services are enabled for both your device and the Dabble app.

    • Android: Set to "High Accuracy" mode in your location settings.

    • iOS: Check location access permissions for Dabble in your privacy settings.

  3. Optimize Device Settings:

    • Turn off Battery Saver mode or Low Power mode to prevent interference with GPS.

    • Disable VPNs, proxies, or mock location options that can distort accuracy.

    • Ensure "Developer Options" are turned off as they may disrupt location services.

  4. Reinstall the App: Remove the Dabble app, reinstall the latest version from the app store, and try verifying your location again. Restarting your device after reinstalling may also help.

  5. Check for Location-Altering Tools: Remove applications, like AnyDesk or similar location spoofing tools, as they might block accurate location verification.

VPN Policy
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and other geolocation services are prohibited. If you are found to be using a VPN or altering your location by any other means, your account will be blocked from depositing, withdrawing, and submitting entries.

Please be aware that there may restrictions where you are located. In some regions, online gaming is not allowed on federal lands, tribal lands, stadiums, casino properties, and certain other restricted areas.

Examples of these restricted areas include federal lands, tribal lands, stadiums, casino properties, and other locations where online gaming is prohibited by local regulations.

Suspicious activity, such as sharing accounts across devices or accessing multiple accounts from a device, can trigger automated geolocation blocks. These blocks cannot be manually removed.

Preventative Measures: Avoiding Future Location Troubles

  • Use only one account per device and avoid sharing devices across multiple accounts.

  • Ensure you are located in states where Dabble supports real-money games.

  • Avoid accessing the app from restricted zones, including federal lands or other prohibited areas.

  • Regularly update the app to maintain compatibility with state regulations and improved location accuracy.
