Using GambetDC in Virginia
Whether you’re using the GambetDC mobile app or its desktop site, you will need to be physically in Washington, DC, to bet.
However, one exception is federally owned land within DC. Those lands include the “monument core” area of DC, as well as the PotomacRiver waterfront and Rock Creek Park.
Furthermore, you can’t wager within two blocks of a Class A license holder, which are retail sportsbooks within stadiums and arenas. Currently, that includes only William Hill at Capital One Arena.
To verify your whereabouts, GambetDC uses geolocation tracking. The technology you will need to approve and/or download on your mobile device, tells the company that you are within DC and legally permitted to bet on sports through GambetDC.
All US states with legal sports betting use geolocation tracking. Once Virginia sportsbooks open, you will need to use geolocation technology to place sports bets in VA.

Still, with a full month of mobile betting coming, William Hill is sure to bounce back and see increases in betting activity for January.
