Systems and methods for multi-factor location-based device verification

A method for multi-factor location-based device verification, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a processor and from a client device of a user, a request to register for a new wagering account;
• receiving, by the processor and from the client device, a first location factor, the first location factor including global positioning system (GPS) data received from a source device located outside a predefined area, the first location factor being used to provide map directions to the predefined area;
• determining, by the processor and based at least upon the first location factor, that the client device is within the predefined area;
• in response to the determining, requesting a user photo taken by the client device;
• receiving, from the client device, the requested user photo;
• and
• creating, by the processor and in response to the determining and the user photo, the new wagering account for the user of the client device.

An article of manufacture comprising a tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a processor for multi-factor location-based device verification, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, from a client device of a user, a request to register for a new wagering account
• receiving, from the client device, a first location factor, the first location factor including global positioning system (GPS) data received from a source device located outside a predefined area, the first location factor being used to provide map directions to the predefined area;
• determining, based at least upon the first location factor, that the client device is within the predefined area;
• in response to the determining, requesting a user photo taken by the client device;
• receiving, from the client device, the requested user photo;
• and
• creating, in response to the determining and the user photo, the new wagering account for the user of the client device.
