Geolocation

Pennsylvania requires geolocation verification before any wager. The ESPN BET app uses GeoComply\'s GeoGuard plugin to verify your physical location via GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell-tower triangulation. Bets are blocked instantly if you step outside state lines. Common triggers for geolocation errors: VPN active (must be off), Bluetooth interference, or being too close to the PA/NJ/NY/MD/OH/WV/DE border.
