W. Va. Code R. § 179-9-15 - Geolocation requirement
15.1. In
order to prevent unauthorized use of an online sports pool system to place a
wager when a player is not within the permitted boundary, the sports pool
operator or sports pool intermediary must utilize a geolocation system to

online sports pool system and place a wager; and to monitor and block
unauthorized attempts to access the online sports pool system in order to place
a wager when a player is not within the permitted boundary.
15.2. The geolocation system shall ensure
that any player is located within the permitted boundary when placing any
wager, and shall be equipped to dynamically monitor the player's location and
block unauthorized attempts to access the online sports pool system in order to
place a wager throughout the duration of the patron session.
15.3. The Commission shall approve technical
specifications for geolocation systems and any specific requirements related to
geolocation as part of its MICS.
