Casino gaming in NJ
Hello I am located in NJ where they recently approved online gaming, the trouble is that the casino online is saying that my location is outside of NJ due to Wifi. But i am physically in NJ and i am thinking its because of my Wifi. Any help is much appreciated, thanks!!!

There's been a couple of threads on this here in the past.

Apparently, it somehow uses your neighbors WiFi as triangulation to verify that you are actually in NJ. Pure asshattery.
If my neighbor wants to gamble online, the NJ gaming commission has no business sniffing and knowing MY WiFi details.

And what if you do not use WiFi, for security reasons. Or for whatever reason....
Like me. My PC's are all hardwired. My only WiFi use is the Kindle and the cameras.

Solution? No idea. Sorry.
