OpenBet / Fanatics MI: HopToDesk remote control undetected on Android (TeamViewer + AnyDesk blocked)

Source. June 2, 2026 weekly sync.
Ticket. CIV-64: MI advanced spoofing retest.

What we tested

During advanced spoofing retests near the Michigan–Canada border, the team tested several remote-control applications on Android against the Fanatics MI app (OpenBet), plus iOS screen sharing for comparison.

What happened

• ✗ HopToDesk — NOT detected at installation or during an active remote session on Android. Bets were placed consistently while a remote user was in control.
• ✓ TeamViewer — detected and blocked.
• ✓ AnyDesk — detected and blocked.
• ✓ iOS FaceTime screen sharing — detected near the border.

Why it matters

This is a known detection gap for a specific tool, not a blanket failure: the two most common remote-access apps (TeamViewer, AnyDesk) are caught, and FaceTime screen sharing is caught on iOS — but HopToDesk slips through entirely on Android. A sophisticated fraudster who identifies this specific gap can use it to circumvent geolocation checks on Fanatics in Michigan while the obvious tools stay blocked.

Cross-reference

• XPoint / bet365 MI — RustDesk evades detection when launched after the geolocation client (CIV-64) — the desktop half of the same MI advanced-spoofing retest.
• Bet365 MI (Radar / XPoint) — full validation: iOS FaceTime + Windows RDP undetected (May 26) — direct contrast: FaceTime screen sharing is caught here on Fanatics, but went undetected on Bet365 MI.
