Cage withdrawal was ready today at 10, so it took around 12 hours. My original bank deposit cleared this morning as well, not sure if they were waiting on that but 12 hours isnt horrible. They have added some higher stakes games but no 100bb yet

Each carrier has to sign off on each application that wants to use the function, as it uses a tiny bit of their resources. Verizon simply has not approved the usage yet. Loc-aid has approval from everybody for their demo.

I believe Bovada bought it's software from Cyberarts, & UP bought CyberArts in 2011.

More Log-in Experiments:

I am located at Sahara and Sloan, 1.5 mile east of Sahara and Nellis. But my IP address shows up over 10 miles away in Henderson. I left my phone at home and took another road trip with just my laptop.

McDonald's at Charleston and Sloan, 1.4 miles north. The wifi IP address shows up at Bonanza and Eastern(about 5 mile away), UP Log-in Verified Location

Starbucks in same shopping center. Wifi IP address locates the same. UP Log-in Verified Location

Starbucks at Sahara and Nellis, The wifi IP address shows up as generic USA in the middle of Kansas, UP Log-in Failed To Verify NV Location

McDonalds at Vegas Valley and Nellis(2 miles from home), The wifi IP address shows up as generic USA in the middle of Kansas, UP Log-in Failed To Verify NV Location

The phone never moved from my house! The cell towers certainly did not move! The only thing that changed was the IP address I was attempting to log in from.

I am sure that the UP people think I am crazy at this point(they may be right). Anybody else, with a non Verizon phone, who is having problems(and even people who are not) go to:

http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip-lookup

and prove me wrong.

Later today I am going to have someone take my phone to Henderson while I attempt to log in from home. I'll report back.

Also, just speculation, Verizon signed off on the mobile sports betting apps because they are mobile apps. Apps drive the phone business right now. Since UP does not have a mobile app there is very little to motivate Verizon.

I checked that web site and my IP is in las vegas according to that site, but it is not close to my house (its about 15 miles from my house), and I am having the same issue you are. But I thought they were not going to use IP geolocation?? It was already stated by Dax that "IP geolocation is unreliable". However it would explain some things.

Click on the map and you can zoom in to street level. See where it is related to your home address.

btw I wouldn't even bother calling Verizon. They were predictably clueless and frustrating to deal with. After talking to two people at length, they claimed that it was not Verizon that didn't support lbs, but rather my device. Sigh.

I had worked about 12 days straight at the horrendous job I have had since Black Friday. On the last day I find out online poker is back and I happen to have three or four days off. WOOHOO!

Three hours after launch I sign up, deposit, login and FML!

I appreciate your efforts, have a similar story, & would certainly read your blog.

Yes, my story was similar as: I have VZW, only a few days off, & was extremely frustrated.

I edited my post to reflect my results of doing that... 15 miles from my house, but IP still is in nevada. And again they weren't suppose to use IP because it is unreliable.

I was thinking every month so $40 per year is like a subscription fee

I don't think UP is using the IP directly, but they might be. I think it is possible that the implementation of the loc-aid software may be using it as a shortcut to find a starting point to find your phone and then when you are not where it expects to find you it timesout. But that is just a guess.

I have done enough programming to know that sometimes it is really hard to solve a problem when you you are stuck on what the program was designed to do, and should be doing, and not looking at what it is actually doing.

My software skills were state of the art when Windows 286 was released. I am useless as a programmer now.

I can only look at the data available to me and try to draw conclusions based on imperfect information. That is what poker players do. That is a skill set I have.

$30 for a phone and a prepaid card.
just win one $10 single table SNG and you are $10 to the good..lol
plus just think of all those comps you will get in a week if you
play 2-3 tables at a time
that has to be at least $75-$100 a week even if
you just play the $5 or $10 SNG.
if you play the cash games, it should be even better
