Systems and methods for controlling access to wireless gaming devices and networks are provided. example, access is controlled through one or more levels of security check, such as a hard security check instead of or in addition to a soft security check. In a hard security check, the user employs an apparatus such as a card or other physical token that can be used to access the wireless gaming device. Such an apparatus may communicate information that identifies the user to the device or may simply be used to produce a signal without which the device is locked to users.

Systems and methods for providing access to wireless gaming devices

In various embodiments, promotions are featured on mobile gaming devices.

Method and apparatus for advertising on a mobile gaming device

Techniques for content delivery and formatting for a mobile phone application are described. For example, an area of a phone's user interface (UI) is identified to display low priority data based on information provided by servers, such that the low priority data does not interfere with high priority data displayed on the UI. Based on the size of the identified area of the UI and the size of the low priority data, the low priority data is reformatted to fit the identified area. Based on determining that the phone is not in an area where gaming is allowed, an alert is displayed and the user is prevented from placing a wager via the application. The alert is removed by interacting with the phone's UI.

Mobile device proximity tracking for selective content delivery and formatting

Techniques for preventing gambling based on deviations from prior wagering characteristics are described. For example, information associated with a mobile phone (e.g., Wi-Fi data, GPS coordinates, or an indication that the phone is in a geo-fence) are used to determine whether the phone is in a defined geographical area in which gambling is permitted. If the phone is in an area that allows gambling, a user is allowed to submit a wager for a gambling event via an application of the phone. When the user submits the wager, details about the wager (e.g., an amount) are used to determine whether the wager deviates from a wagering characteristic of the user based on prior wagers submitted by the user while the phone is in the defined geographical area. If there is such a deviation, the user is prevented from submitting further wagers.
