Abstract
Techniques for adaptively checking the location of a smart phone that provides a user access to a gambling service are described. For example, a user is provided access to the gambling service via a smart phone, which uses a program wrapper to provide a gambling app. The distance of the smart phone from a border of a U.S. state where gambling is allowed may be determined. The rates at which location checks are performed to determine the distance may vary. The distance may be determined by obtaining geographic location data (e.g., including GPS information, WiFi signal information or cellular signal information, etc.) from the wrapper, which is associated with a gambling application installed on the smart phone. The gambling application provides access to the gambling service. A portion of the gambling application is written in a programming language different from the wrapper.
