Why does Splash need to see my location?


Splash is required by law to verify your physical location before you deposit or join contests.  There are multiple settings that can impact location verification or prevent you from logging in. 


  • Ad blockers: Ad blockers can limit the ability for apps to see a user's location so you should disable ad blockers when using Splash.
  • VPN: VPNs make it look like you are connected to the internet from a different location. If you use a VPN, disconnect from it before logging into your Splash account.
  • Secured WiFi network: Some secured WiFi networks cause location verification issues so we recommend not using one while you are on Splash.

If you are still having location verification issues after you confirm that you have turned off ad blockers, and disconnected from your VPN or secured WiFi network, you may need to update your phone or browser settings. Here are instructions for sharing your location with Splash on iOS, Android, and web.
