Sites that don't check residency (1 Viewer)

Anyone know of any fantasy game sites that don't check residency? I'm in Arizona and it's one of the states where Fantasy isn't legal so we can't sign up on fanduel, etc. Thanks

Same here in Louisiana

Turn off location services and play with your phone?

Most of them require your address for verification. I guess you could fake your address, but then if you win and have to receive tax documents, you're hosed.

Not sure how they could prove you didn't play in a legal state.

Seems like I recall one of the sites even going so far as to check my IP address, so it knew where I was located before I even entered anything. I guess you could VPN around that, but

Exactly...I tried using a relatives out of state address and they kicked me out because of my IP address.

Has anyone in a restricted state used a VPN to be able to register, and then won and successfully withdrew funds? Asking for a friend. Hypothetically.

is it really worth the pinch if you get snagged? 

i mean, not for nuttin', but I'd peruse some of those DFS threads and found them borderline hysterical (especially the NBA DFS) .... folks prattling on about how they entered X amount of contests, and ground out a whopping $4.69 for their efforts. 

maybe in the long run you're much bettor off - seems like the odds are stacked against the average schlub who harbors dreams of the million dollar score while imbibing warm 32 oz. brewskis at BWW.

I also live in AZ.  It's annoying.

Not sure about fantasy, but, FFPC  just wants an address to mail your winnings to (friend or family in one of the approved states) get them on chat and they will help you work around.

Can't even get around them with a VPN anymore.  Started last year with the big lawsuits, they really clamped down.  Not sure how they track it, but after some very successful seasons using my brother's address in Kansas City, I pretty much got locked out last year no matter what I tried.  Waiting for the old conservative farts here in Iowa to pass something so we can play fantasy football is like watching paint dry, but they sure are building their casinos left and right.
