They're blocking IPs that look Mississippi-ish. I assume just using Maxmind or some other IP geolocation database.

I'm near Mississippi but not in it and I'm blocked on my home network. To open the app on my phone I have to turn off with and open it while on mobile data. Once the app is open I can get back on Wi-Fi and everything works fine, so they're only checking that first time the app opens.
