Abstract
A quarantine wallet associated with a user account that support funds to be quarantined for a defined period. A user account server determines that a respective win amount satisfies one or more funds quarantine criteria and removes at least a portion of the win amount satisfying the one or more funds quarantine criteria from access by one or more wallets associated with a user account. The user account server stores the removed portion of the win amount as a quarantined fund amount in a quarantine wallet associated with the user account. The user account server sets a release time for the quarantined funds amount in the quarantine wallet and performs a transfer of the quarantined funds amount to the one or more wallets based on satisfying the release time.
