It is true that they can check our IP addresses, but that alone can determine your location. The game can also check things like your timezone to determine where you're from. There's probably a check for it when you first sign up, given that you must change your timezone before the tutorial would work.

But despite what they could do, they have not been known to ban anybody for being a foreign player... yet.
