    How is this impossible? DraftKings does it for California visitors.

      I'm not in California and DraftKings blocks me connecting with a VPN, so they just don't seem to be distinguishing whether a VPN user is in California (which is the impossible part of this law).

        Right, they just block all VPN users, which would comply with the law

          Easier said than done.
