Free Practice mode remains available in every state, and regardless of whether you are eligible for paid play. You can also create an account and withdraw an existing balance from anywhere — the restriction is on entering paid matches.

How eligibility is checked

Server-side, fail-closed
Eligibility is enforced on our servers. If we cannot establish that you are in an eligible location, paid play is refused rather than allowed.
Derived from your connection
We determine country and US state from your IP address. We do not collect precise GPS location.
Circumvention is prohibited
Using a VPN, proxy or other tool to mask your location is prohibited and is grounds for immediate account termination and forfeiture of balances.
Checked at the point of play
The check runs when you enter a paid match, not just at signup, so travelling into a restricted state stops paid play.

Also required

Age and identity

18 or over

You must be at least 18, or the age of majority where you live, whichever is greater, to create an account or enter any paid match. Your date of birth is confirmed during the identity check before your first withdrawal.

One verified person

One account per person. Identity verification before your first withdrawal ties the payout to a single verified individual, and the name on the payout account must match.

Full detail sits in Section 2 of the Terms of Service, and the reasoning behind the state list is covered in the Regulatory & Legal FAQ.

Practice is open to everyone.

Free, unstaked, and available in every state.
