Official Sports Betting Thread

The legality of online betting in California is a confusing mess. I tried checking out some sports betting sites from there a while back, but most of them wouldn't let me place bets once they figured out my location. Even if you manage to make an account, the geolocation blocks usually kick in when you try to wager. My friend drove over the border into Nevada just to make a big March Madness bet a couple years ago, so I think going out of state is what lots of people end up doing. If privacy is more your thing and you're looking for places that don't make you send in endless ID checks, I've seen a reliable site with no KYC casinos, https://newcasinobonuses.uk/no-kyc-casinos/.

Yes, it's really dumb. I don't understand why CA voters didn't pass legalization

you can either cross a state line to bet, use VPN to mask your location (doesn't always work), or use an illegal offshore site
