主权项 1. A method comprising: for each of a plurality of locations covered by a communications network, calculating, by a computing device, a respective set of signal characteristics that describe signals between a calibration device at the location and a set of signal detection devices of the communication network; determining, by the computing device, a first location of a mobile device by comparing the calculated sets of signal characteristics with a first set of signal characteristics measured between the signal detection devices and the mobile device; based on the first location, enabling, by the computing device, a set of wagering activities through the mobile device that are allowed at the first location if any are allowed at the first location; calculating, by the computing device, a cumulative amount of time that a user of the mobile device engages in a wagering activity from a plurality of locations; and preventing, by the computing device, the cumulative amount of time from exceeding a threshold amount of time.
