Abstract
A system and method(s) for tracking gaming payment-card transactions using a token is described. A method, for instance, includes initiating, via a player interface device, a payment-card transaction to purchase game credits for use at a gaming machine. The method further includes obtaining, from a payment terminal in response to initiating the payment-card transaction, a token that replaces sensitive payment-card information. The method further includes determining, in response to obtaining the token, a previous use of the token, via a gaming network, for previous payment-card transactions that occurred via the gaming network within a given period. The method further includes determining, in response to determination of the previous use of the token, whether a spending limit, for a player account associated with the token, would be exceeded by an amount of the payment-card transaction, and further presenting, via a display, an indication of whether the spending limit would be exceeded.
