1 ยท Competitive and Client Testing (Julia) โ Key Findingsโ
Follow-up testing this week extended our Fanatics remote-access findings to additional methods and states, and a Locance (LocationSmart) retest in Ontario surfaced two retry-fragile defences. The headline: out-of-state bets were placed on Fanatics MI from Tennessee via two independent vectors, and a single retry defeated Locance's remote-access block on Luxury Casino Ontario.
Fanatics (OpenBet) โ remote-access retest across MI and TNโ
- โ Fanatics MI (OpenBet) โ GPS simulator + TeamViewer iOS screen mirroring undetected; bets placed from Tennessee
A GPS simulator and, separately, full TeamViewer screen-mirror control of the iOS device both went undetected โ the tester logged into the Michigan app, placed real-money bets, and played casino games from Tennessee. The iOS resigned app was detected (geolocation failed as expected), but the error message came back blank.
๐ซ CIV-89 โ Fanatics / OpenBet Locator: spoofing testing updates - โ ๏ธ Fanatics TN (OpenBet) โ HopToDesk remote session connects, but the Place Bet button is hidden from the remote operator
HopToDesk established full remote control on Android, but the Place Bet button was hidden from the remote operator โ bets could not be placed remotely without local interaction. A partial mitigation, and inconsistent with the MI TeamViewer result.
๐ซ CIV-89 โ Fanatics / OpenBet Locator: spoofing testing updates - Jailbroken iOS โ not tested. Fanatics enforces a minimum iOS 17 requirement, which blocks this test vector for now.
Ontario โ Locance (LocationSmart) remote-access retestโ
- โ Locance (LocationSmart) โ remote-access block fails on a single retry; iAnyGo GPS spoof undetected
Remote access to Luxury Casino Ontario from Tennessee errored once, then was granted on a single retry โ bets placed. GPS spoofing via iAnyGo was blocked only indirectly: Luxury Casino requires a Canadian VPN to load and that VPN was flagged as a proxy; the GPS spoof itself triggered no detection.
