A poker site I signed up for uses geolocation to know where I am located, but the DNS Rebind Protection setting is blocking it from working so every time I log into the poker client, it says "Geolocation Failed". When I disable DNS Rebind Protection it works.

Does disabling DNS Rebind Protection put my devices on my network/wifi at risk?

Disabling "DNS Rebind Protection" will puts at risk the device that you are disabling it on. It shouldn't harm other devices on your network/wifi.

I do not understand why an online poker site needs to do weird stuff of this nature. They should not require you to make your device less secure like this, and you should consider playing at a different online poker site.
