I just want to know if I am do the fan duel thing without downloading anything on my phone
You can bet in a state it’s legal, but it will check gps and won’t let you place bets in California.
You can use it in Vegas and keep it downloaded once you go back that’s not illegal. The app won’t let you use it at all as soon as you’re in Cali.
The app has Geo location. So when you are back in California, you can withdraw your money, but you cannot make any bets. They use the cell phone antenna or the Wi-Fi from Vegas to know your location. As soon as you get to Primm, you can pull over and put in your bets right away because you will connect to the Nevada cell phone antenna and they know you are now in Nevada, where it is now legal . They also know all the common VPN that is used so if you try to put a bet in from California, using a VPN, they will catch you and they will close your account. Whatever money you have in there you won’t be able to withdraw so it is not worth the risk.
Now if you want to bet on individual players, for example Dak Prescott to throw over 200 yards or Patrick Mahomes to throw two touchdowns, you can use apps that allow you to make bets in California like PrizePicks, Sleeper, or Underdog. Right now, there are a few states like New York and Florida that have lawsuits against those companies saying they are betting apps. It might take another year before it gets straightened out in the courts. But how they get away with it now, they are basically saying this is legalized gambling under the guise that these are player fantasy stats. So those apps like PrizePicks won’t let you bet on a team winning a game, but it will allow you to parlay two or more players to win money. You can withdraw and deposit from California from your debit card or your checking account. If you have more questions, send me a private message and I can answer it for you.

You should be able to keep it on your phone. When you open the app, FanDuel will check your location. If you’re in a location where it’s allowed all will be fine. If not, you’ll get a prompt that says you’re in a state that doesn’t allow it. No need to remove it and reinstall it each time you go… Even if you open it while you’re in California, nothing will happen other than getting a little prompt that says you can’t place bets from your current location…
Geo proxy baby. Your phone won’t play that. You would have to cross into NV to place any bets.
Doesnt it require id verification? I dont think it will let you do it if ur residence on your id isnt in a legal state

it does , im from texas and have used fanduel in oklahoma and colorado . it just verifies your location when opening the app and if youre in an illegal state it wont even let you login but as soon as your cell phones gps crosses state lines you can login .
This is incorrect. You can be from Bulgaria or the Moon. But if you are in Colorado or Illinois or any other state that allows online gambling you are able to download the site and use it. Just as long as you are within the state.
The only nearby exception to that is Ontario, Canada. You need to have residence in Ontario to use the sports betting apps in that province.
Otherwise, think of it basically like live casinos. If I’m from California I can’t bet on sports there. But if I travel to Vegas then I can…either in person or online.
