The commitment and data corresponding to an identifying biometric feature of the player are stored. When the player plays a gaming device the system and method compares a capture biometrical image of the player with the stored image and if there is a match the limitation is enforced. Biometrical data for files where the temporal period of the limitation has passed are ignored to reduce the number of files with which the comparison must be made reducing the number of false matches.
