Abstract

The present invention is directed to a computer network system that allows a user to register for games of chances throughout the country and in accordance with national, state and local laws and ordinances. This system analyses the geographical location and residency information of a user in relation to the geographical access and participation areas permitted, excluded, and restricted for a game of chance as governed by jurisdictional laws, statutes, rules, and regulations. If the user is not located within a permitted area or falls within an excluded or restricted area, the user will not be allowed to access or participate in the game of chance. The ability of the system to limit participation by geographical location is based on user input, data, and variable analysis, and the comparison between the areas where games of chance are permitted, excluded, restricted, and user location and residency, filters data to determine user accessibility to a game of chance, listings, and advertising. The methods and apparatus of this system have applications on the Internet for raffles as well as other conventional games of chance.

Claims28

Dependent claims

An access authorization control system comprising a central server having or interconnected to

(A) an input/display device (i) operated by a first user to allow the first user to enter the first user's age and the first user's residence to the central server, and (ii) provides the input/display device's location to the central server system;
(B) an activity interface having an activity database, the activity database has a list of activities, at least one activity on the list of activities is regulated by a government entity;
(C) the access authorization control is an Engine having Access Authorization Controls, the Access Authorization Controls limit the list of activities that the first user can access or view based on (a) the first user's (i) residence information, and (ii) age and (b) the input/display device's location;
the central server system:
(I) confirms the age, residence and location, and if necessary an administrator's, requirements for each activity on the activity database;
(II) compares
(a) first user's entered age information to
(i) the minimum, and if necessary the administrator's, required age requirements to partake in each activity on the list of activities, and
(ii) first user's age information found on a financial institution's database interconnected to the central server;
and
(b) first user's entered residence information to
(i) the residence, and if necessary the administrator's residence, requirements to partake in each activity on the list of activities, and
(ii) first user's residence information on the financial institution's database;
and
(c) input/display device's location to
(i) the location, and if necessary the administrator's location, requirements to partake in each activity on the list of activities;
(III) transmits to the input/display device the limited list of activities when
(a) the first user's entered information satisfies the age and residence requirements and the input/display device's location requirements for each activity identified on the limited list of activities and
(b) if necessary the administrator's age, residence and location requirements for each activity identified on the limited list of activities;
wherein the Access Authorization Controls for jurisdictional regulatory compliance:
(a) allows or denies access authorization in real-time of one or more remote users;
(b) allows or denies access authorization in real-time, and verifies user's device location data and residency data of one or more remote users;
(c) allows or denies access authorization in real-time, and verifies user device location data of one or more remote users;
(d) allows or denies access authorization in real-time, and verifies user residency data of one or more remote users;
and
(e) enabling the internet to be regulated in real-time in relation to one or more remote users using the internet to partake in an activity identified on the limited list of activities.
