  • Publication number: 20200357231
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for registering a player account using third party user information include scanning, by a scanning device, an encoded identifier associated with a first server and transmitting a request to access a player account of the player to the first server based on the encoded identifier. In response to an indication that the player account does not exist, the user device causes a second request message to be transmitted to a second server operated by a third party provider to access a user account associated with the player. The second server transfers user information associated with the user account to the first server. The user device next transmits an account registration message, which includes an instruction to create a new player account associated with the player, to the first server. Based on creation of the new player account, the user device accesses the player account.
