This is how the online casinos do it in my state. They require location access on mobile or a dedicated download for desktop.
I recently spent a bit of time trying to bypass the location check (out of curiosity) and they have it pretty locked down.
The key is they require WiFi to be on so they can get around GPS spoofing.
I had even attempted re-creating all the SSIDs and other networks nearby my spoofed location but the existing networks near my real location were reducing the confidence and still getting me flagged.
One thing I learned during this was how complicit browser manufactures are in providing this information. There is no way to enable location services but disable WiFi triangulation in any mainstream browser. If you disable location permissions websites can just outright block you.
End solution was just a remote KVM setup but not exactly what I wanted.

- pests 3y agoPotentially but not yet. Tried Brave and a few others with no luck. I really didn't want to patch and compile myself so I abandoned this avenue.
- FuturisticGoo 3y agoI don't think Wifi triangulation uses SSID, instead it uses the BSSID, which afaik can't be changed.
- pests 3y agoOpenWRT supports changing the BSSID on supported models. I should have been more clear that I matched both the SSID+BSSID. From both a dump I did from the spoofed location and the public online databases.
