Abstract: This disclosure is related to improved security authentication frameworks for crowdsourced gaming systems that facilitate collaboration among multiple virtual participants over a network. In certain embodiments, an electronic gaming platform includes a geolocation authentication system that authenticates, verifies, and authorizes virtual user participants prior to accepting submissions in virtual multi-participant contests hosted by the electronic gaming platform. The geolocation authentication system can transition collaborative gaming applications operated by virtual user participants between a restricted functionality state that locks one or more functionalities pertaining to the virtual multi-participant contests hosted by the electronic platform and an unrestricted functionality state that unlocks one or more functionalities pertaining to the virtual multi-participant contests.
