7. Do I have to be in the District to use the app?
Yes. The app has a geo-fencing feature that requires players to be within the District, not in restricted play areas, to play games or purchase tickets. However, you can access many app features, access your account, and conveniently deposit and withdraw funds from anywhere, anytime.
8. Why can’t I play or buy a ticket sometimes, even though I’m in the District?
Certain areas within the District are prohibited from gambling.

This includes the monumental core of the District, along the Potomac waterfront, and Rock Creek Park.
