I haven't heard about this one today. I know that this is asking a lot, but could you take a screen cap of that and send it to support? I think that Sparks should be fine, as long as you're not within about 5 miles of the border.

No worries. I will send snap shots to support. Thanks for the response!

How long is the delay for verification of age now? Sent the ID scan a couple hours ago to both support and playercare.

In the rest of the world, a VPN is used by companies internally to keep their traffic more secure and let you log in from home to check email. And you can use a VPN service at home if you want to have a little more privacy when you are on the internet, and to keep everyone from knowing your location. Again, if you value your privacy there are very valid (non-illegal) reasons to have a VPN.

In the poker world VPN's are often used to mask your IP so that if you are in the US you can play on sites which don't allow US gaming. It sounds like UP is taking an understandably hard-line stance and not allowing VPN's at all because it's hard to detect legitimate IP masking from illegitimate. And they're requiring cell-based location checks. So they're definitely going the extra mile to make sure players are IN Nevada when they're playing, which are the hoops they currently have to jump through in the US poker climate. Even on Stars if I want to play with a legit VPN in Canada it's a hassle. So yeah bottom line if you play poker, VPN = bad...

Great post. Thanks!

I am happy for the NV residents, but perplexed at the violation of interstate commerce. No freedoms!

I am trying to verify my account but age and ID is not working, everything else is fine. I did not enter my boarding pass # upon signup either and there is no option to do it post registration.

I entered SSN but age and ID isn't verified yet.

Dax, so the location verification has nothing to do with how I'm connecting to the internet(hotspot from phone or wifi) but has to do with when you log in they try to verify location of your phone?

So your saying to get a prepaid phone that has Nevada area code and change my profile to that number?

Then they would have to send another text?

I would do this if reimbursed like you are doing for Mac users.

wow, this software is worse than i imagined, you guys CAPTCHA'ed me twice in a single session, causing me so much ****ing tilt from mis-typing the CAPTCHA i quit the site and likely will never ever play again if you keep CAPTCHA coding me.

Sketchy, I've read the entire thread and your tone is incredibly unhelpful. This is the FIRST day of this site. What you have mentioned in your last post HAS been mentioned before. For someone that has told others to read every post, perhaps you should do the same. Someone already mentioned that you get captcha'ed multiple times.

This is the start of what many of us have been waiting for. Let's look at the positives including a site rep/product manager that has taken so much time out of his busy schedule to answer questions.

Still not getting my text after 6 hours. Anyone who didnt rec it at first have any luck getting it later on? (sprint)

PS. Thanks for getting my email to the top earlier dax, but I simply got the standard response saying turn off LTE for iphone 5 (not the issue) and then no response for hours. If you could nudge it back up that would be great.

seals with clubs. if they fix captcha, i'll play again, games were soft enough. but there's no chance i'm going to risk going on massive tilt because i can't read the stupid captcha multiple times a session. stars captcha'ed me exactly twice in 6-7 years of playing.

Dude talking like an expert when he hasn't even bothered to read the thread. Dax said that they will be triangulating your location periodically so no not just when you sign up. So pretty much the opposite of what you wrote, in a pretty arrogant tone I might add.

Finally a legal, and regulated site and all you ****ing little babies can do is cry about why you can't play if you don't live in Nevada, "and how can I get around it" with VPN, then they CAPTCHA'd me 100 times in 2 minutes...wahh wahh wahh

In 2 or 3 months, this thread will probably be moved to Internet Poker. I could be wrong though.

We're attempting to get into each account and look up why any sort of texts aren't getting through, but at this point we're not quite sure. Some small percentage of people aren't getting them. Is it a corporate managed phone, or do you have any sort of auto-blocking of text messages?
