Online betting is heavily regulated in the United States — and MyWinners.com complies with all state and federal laws. To keep our platform secure, legal, and fair, all users must meet certain requirements around age, identity, and physical location.
Minimum Age Requirement
Minimum Age Requirement
You must be at least 18 years old to register and bet on MyWinners. Some states require bettors to be 21 or older, depending on local laws. Age is verified during registration through public records and identity checks.
Identity Verification
Identity Verification
To comply with federal KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) regulations, we ask all users to verify their identity. You may be required to provide:
Full legal name and date of birth
Last four digits of your SSN
Address and phone number
A copy of your government-issued ID (in some cases)
This helps prevent fraud, underage betting, and duplicate accounts.
Geolocation: Where You Can Bet
Geolocation: Where You Can Bet
MyWinners uses secure geolocation technology to confirm that you are physically located in a state where pari-mutuel betting is legal. This includes:
GPS (on mobile devices)
Wi-Fi and IP address checks (on desktop)
Location services (must be enabled)
If you're using a VPN, proxy, or your location can’t be verified, you won’t be allowed to place a bet until it’s resolved.

💡 Did You Know? Most failed geolocation checks happen when people try to place bets near a state border or on public Wi-Fi. If you're close to an edge or your internet connection isn't stable, the system may not verify your location correctly.
