Abstract: A system and method(s) for cashless funding of a gaming machine is described. The method, for instance, includes detecting a user input associated with a funding request. The user input is transmitted from a mobile device. The method further includes, in response to detecting the user input, obtaining a virtual ticket from a third-party funding system external to a casino network. The virtual ticket was purchased, via the third-party funding system, from a ticketing server internal to the casino network. The virtual ticket is associated with a voucher identifier authorized by the ticketing server. The method also includes redeeming, using the voucher identifier, the virtual ticket. In response to redeeming the virtual ticket, the ticketing server transmits, via the casino network, a funding authorization for the amount of monetary value.
