Why do I need to enable my location services?

🎯 Why Betty Needs Your Location:

1. Legal Compliance.

  • Betty must only allow players located in Ontario to access real-money games.

🔐 To follow the law, Betty must prove you're physically within Ontario, even if you’re an Ontario resident.


2. IP Address Alone Isn't Enough

  • IP addresses can be misleading – they show your internet provider’s location, which might be in a different city or province.

  • Some users use VPNs or proxies, which hide their real location.

  • That's why Betty requires GPS or Wi-Fi-based geolocation for accurate, real-time verification.


3. Preventing Fraud and Underage Access

  • Betty uses location data to:

    • Ensure only players of legal age within Ontario can access services


📱 What Happens If You Deny Location Access?

  • The site or app will likely block you from:

    • Registering

    • Logging in

    • Depositing or playing games

You might see an error like:

"Location verification failed"
"You must enable location services to continue"
