SPORTS WAGERING ONLINE OR THROUGH MOBILE APPLICATIONS IS ILLEGAL IN NEBRASKA, BUT GEO-LOCATION SAYS THAT ISN’T STOPPING SOME PEOPLE.
GEOCOMPLY SOLUTIONS, A COMPANY THAT PROVIDES LOCATION SERVICES IN THE GAMING INDUSTRY, HAS IDENTIFIED 64-THOUSAND MOBILE USER ACCOUNTS IN NEBRASKA THIS YEAR.
RESIDENTS MAY HAVE MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THAT TOTAL.
THE COMPANY ALSO RECORDED ALMOST 3-MILLION INSTANCES OF PEOPLE IN NEBRASKA TRYING TO PLACE BETS BETWEEN JANUARY AND OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR.
THE COMPANY’S TECHNOLOGY BARRED THEM FROM PLACING THE BETS.
