Internal reference. CIV-20: Saracen Arkansas – Radar: conduct full competitor validation
What we tested.
- Installed Radar Verify on a Windows laptop and on a Mac, attempted to start a betting session via Chrome on both.
- Attempted bet placement from within ~1 km of the Arkansas state line, on a Windows laptop tethered to a mobile hotspot.
What happened.
- Radar Verify does not work in Chrome — confirmed on both Windows and Mac.
- No successful bet could be placed within 1 km of the AR border. Radar bounced between "State not Allowed" and "Buffer Zone" errors as the tester moved.
Why it matters. Chrome is the most common desktop browser in the US. Combined with the near-border accuracy gap (no bet within 1 km), this is a double UX + compliance failure on Radar's flagship regulated-sportsbook reference (BetSaracen).
