What is geolocation and why does Betunited use it?
Geolocation is the process of determining your physical location using your device's GPS, Wi-Fi networks, mobile network data, or IP address. Betunited uses it to confirm that you are accessing our casino from a province or territory where online casino gaming is permitted under our licence.
Is geolocation check mandatory to play at Betunited?
Yes. Geolocation verification is required for all real-money casino sessions. This is a condition of our operating licence and ensures that Betunited complies with Canadian provincial gaming regulations, which vary significantly across the country.
Which Canadian provinces or territories restrict access to Betunited?
Licensing and regulatory rules differ by province. Players in provinces with exclusive government-operated online casino platforms may face restrictions depending on local enforcement. Betunited's geolocation system enforces these rules automatically based on your physical location at the time of each session.
Can I play if I am travelling to a restricted province?
No. Geolocation checks your physical location at the time of each session, not your home address or registered province. If you are temporarily located in a restricted province — even while travelling — you will be unable to access real-money games until you return to a permitted location.
Does geolocation affect free-play demo mode?
No. Free-play or demo mode does not require geolocation verification at Betunited. The check is applied only when you attempt to join a real-money game, enter a paid tournament, or initiate a deposit during a gaming session.
