Player identification and tracking systems and methods

A computer-implemented method of operating a system including a database, a database server, and a system server including a processor coupled to the database and a player device, the method comprising the processor performing the steps of:

• prompting a player to access an application associated with a service and installed on the player device accessible to the player, wherein the player device includes a player interface;
• prompting the player to create an account via the application installed on the player device;
• prompting the player to provide personal information associated with the player via the application installed on the player device;
• receiving the personal information from the application installed on the player device;
• encrypting the personal information;
• storing the personal information in the database stored on the database server;
• assigning the personal information a unique identifier;
• sending the personal information and the unique identifier to a third party for authentication;
• verifying that the personal information has been authenticated by the third party;
• separating the authenticated personal information into at least one role;
• creating a cryptographic hash value for the at least one role;
• and
• sending the at least one role and the cryptographic hash value corresponding to the at least one role to the application installed on the player device.

A non-transitory information recording medium having a computer readable program recorded thereon to operate a system including a database and a system server including a processor coupled to the database and a player device, when executed by the processor the computer readable program causes the processor to perform the steps of:

• prompting a player to access an application associated with a service and installed on the player device accessible to the player, wherein the player device includes a player interface;
• prompting the player to create an account via the application installed on the player device;
• prompting the player to provide personal information associated with the player via the application installed on the player device;
• receiving the personal information associated with the player from the application installed on the player device;
• encrypting the personal information;
• storing the personal information in the database;
• assigning the personal information a unique identifier;
• sending the personal information and the unique identifier to a third party for authentication;
• verifying that the personal information has been authenticated by the third party;
• separating the authenticated personal information into at least one role;
• creating a cryptographic hash value for the at least one role;
• and
• sending the at least one role and the cryptographic hash value corresponding to the at least one role to the application installed on the player device.
