Abstract: Technology for managing a player session at a gaming table is disclosed. A table management system receives identifying information of a player seated at the gaming table transmitted by a mobile device associated with the player. The identifying information includes a seating position of the player at the gaming table, the seating position determined by the mobile device through interaction with a locating device placed at the seating position at the gaming table. The table management system generates the player session for the player for playing a wagering game at the gaming table using the identifying information of the player transmitted by the mobile device.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for facilitating a credential-less exchange over a network using a plurality of identifier mappings, member interfaces, and security code tuples that are tailored to an ephemeral key. The techniques may include receiving a secured interaction request and issuing or enabling a previously issued universally unique ephemeral key (UUEK) in response to the secured interaction request. The techniques may include validating a user, instrument, or UUEK and, in response, storing a secured event for the user, instrument, or UUEK and providing a secured interaction response indicative of the secured event. The techniques may include subsequently receiving an exchange request for executing a value-based exchange using the UUEK and facilitating the exchange request based at least in part on the secured event.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for adjudicating a credential-less exchange over a network using a plurality of identifier mappings and member interfaces. The techniques may include receiving an exchange request for executing a value-based exchange that includes a universally unique ephemeral key (UUEK) and identifies an object. The techniques may include identifying a user and an instrument for servicing the exchange request based on the UUEK. The techniques may include determining validated and invalidated objects for the exchange request based on the user and providing an exchange authorization request indicative of the validated objects to a member platform associated with the instrument.
