For legal reasons, MyWinners must verify that you're located in a state where online wagering is permitted. If your location can’t be verified, you won’t be able to place bets. Don’t worry—these issues are usually simple to fix.
How Location Verification Works

To verify your location:
Your browser or app must share your location
You must be within a legally approved state
Your device must have Wi-Fi or GPS enabled
