Have you ever gone to load the betOcean (or your other online casino app,) ready for some action, only to see a “location not verified” message? Don’t be alarmed – it happens on occasion, and is usually easy to fix. Here’s what’s going on behind the scenes, and how you can get back in the game fast.
How NJ Geolocation Works
New Jersey law says you must be physically in-state to play at any online casino. That means betOcean (and every other legal NJ casino) uses special tech to check your location before you can spin, bet, or join a table.
- On mobile: Your phone’s GPS, WiFi, and sometimes Bluetooth help confirm you’re in NJ.
- On desktop: The casino checks your IP address, WiFi signals, and browser location.
Why Access Sometimes Fails
Even if you’re in New Jersey, geolocation can trip up for a few reasons:
- VPN or Proxy: These tools hide your real location—turn them off!
- Weak Signal: Poor WiFi or cell service can confuse location checks.
- Outdated App/Browser: Old versions might not work with the latest geolocation tech.
- Browser Settings: Location permissions might be off.
Quick Fixes to Try
- Restart the App or Browser: Sometimes a simple reboot works wonders.
- Enable Location Services: Make sure GPS/location is turned on for betOcean.
- Switch Networks: If WiFi isn’t working, try mobile data (or vice versa).
- Update Your App/Browser: Always use the latest version.
- Turn Off VPN/Proxy: These almost always block access.
