Obviously I can't get into as much detail as I'd like, but that's the gist of it.
Come on, we all know that security through obscurity is weak. Tell us how the security system works and the community will test it for you!

"...I can't give you a technical answer as I'm just the marketing guy..."
"Unfortunately I can't answer the following questions about security precautions, but I can see if one of our engineers can hop on the thread to respond."
I don't think he's not explaining it because it would be insecure. He's not explaining it because he doesn't know it well enough.
While I can't give you a technical answer as I'm just the marketing guy, I can tell you that simply setting up a VPN in England is not going to work. We have a number of state-of-the-art gating techniques for identifying and prohibiting players from using our service illegally. We check for much more than Geo-location and IP. Obviously I can't get into as much detail as I'd like, but that's the gist of it.
Also, as Betable is doing all of the gambling, in the event that an extreme edge case occurs we would be liable, not the game developer working with us.
Unfortunately I can't answer the following questions about security precautions, but I can see if one of our engineers can hop on the thread to respond. I'll get back to you.
