Geolocation refers to the process of identifying and determining the geographical location of a device or user on the Earth's surface.
Betano takes location verification seriously to ensure compliance with local laws, maintain a secure platform, and offer a personalized and responsible gambling experience. To achieve this, we use various methods to identify your location accurately:
IP Geolocation:
While connected to the internet, your device is assigned an IP (Internet Protocol) address. The IP address contains location information that helps us approximate your geographic location. While IP geolocation provides a general idea of your whereabouts, it may not always be accurate, especially if you use a virtual private network (VPN) or proxy.
Wi-Fi and GPS Data:
If you're accessing Betano through a mobile device, we may collect Wi-Fi and GPS data to pinpoint your location more accurately. This data provides real-time location information and is particularly useful for users on the move. We only access this data with your explicit consent and prioritize your privacy and data security.
Mobile Network Data:
Your mobile network provider helps us identify your location. While connected to the internet through your mobile data, the network provider can provide location information based on the cell towers your device connects to. This method is particularly helpful in cases where other location techniques may not be available or reliable.
