Abstract: A user device in a system for selling gaming products receives a game play request from a user. The user device detects being tapped to an external proximity-based communication enabled device using a communication interface that communicates over a proximity-based communication connection. Upon detecting that the user device has been tapped to the external proximity-based communication enabled device, the user device sends a gaming request associated with the game play request over a wireless network. The proximity-based communication protocols ensure that the gaming transaction occurs in a geographical location that is within the jurisdiction of the appropriate gaming authority.
