Is BettorEdge Legal in My State?

BettorEdge is a social betting marketplace that connects users directly with each other at agreed-upon prices. An open marketplace where you set the terms as you play against friends, very similar to fantasy sports.

While this unique model is legal in approximately 90% of US states, regulations vary by location, which is why we require location services, ID verification, and age verification before enabling real-money features.

BettorEdge functions differently from traditional sportsbooks:

• We operate as a peer-to-peer platform or marketplace connecting bettors directly
• BettorEdge has no stake in the outcome of events in peer-to-peer markets
• We focus exclusively on providing an optimal user experience with no high fees like traditional betting
• Our platform was developed in consultation with industry-leading law firms to ensure compliance with federal, state, and local regulations

Gaining inspiration from other marketplace models that have disrupted their industries like Uber, AirBnB, or even Turo; the new model focuses on adding additional features and functionality that benefit the users in the community.

The legality of using BettorEdge with real money depends entirely on your location. With the repeal of PAPSA in May 2018, Federal law allowed sports betting:

• Real-money betting is currently legal in approximately 90% of US states
• Some states have restrictions that prevent real-money betting
• Check your state's legal status here
• Location services must be enabled when using the platform to verify you're in a legal jurisdiction

To comply with regulations and best practices, we require several verification steps:

1. Location Services - Must be enabled to confirm you're in a state where real-money betting is permitted
2. Age Verification - You must be of legal age to participate
3. ID Verification - A valid government-issued ID is required for real-money features

Regardless of your state's legal status:

• Real-Money Betting - Available in states where legally permitted
• Edge Coins (or free to play) - Our demo currency allows users in all states to showcase their betting skills and enjoy the platform's features without using real money

Location Services Not Working?

• Ensure location permissions are enabled for BettorEdge in your device settings
• Try using a different browser if you're experiencing persistent issues
• Make sure you're not using a VPN, which may interfere with accurate location detection

1. Check if real-money betting is legal in your state using our state legality page
2. Complete the required verification steps if you're in a legal state
3. If real-money betting isn't available in your state, you can still participate using Edge Coins
4. Start exploring markets and connecting with other bettors on the platform
