Abstract: A system and method for user activity and preference analysis in a multi-user, multi-location digital environment that analyzes each user's state at each location where the user is present. If the user is present at multiple locations, the system and method also identify users that have mixed states, i.e., active at one or more locations and inactive at one or more second locations. If a user does not have a system-acceptable exception for its inactive state, the system and method may take action with respect to the user, which action may include warning the user or removing the user from the location.

Abstract: A method and system for are provided for optimizing and distributing data processing and resources in a multi-user, multi-location digital environment. User activity and user states are compiled and analyzed for each location where the user is present. User event processing may include distributing event data to one or more user state processors, choosing the optimum target processor, and filtering user event data to eliminate duplicate or unnecessary transmissions between processors that are hosted on one or more servers. Process intensive tasks, such as analyzing and transmitting user events, generated by user activity and user state changes, may be implemented using threads in an asynchronous processing environment, wherein the processors are horizontally scalable.

Abstract: A system for controlling access to a plurality of games in a skill-based electronic game with (1) an electronic data warehouse server configured to determine a game skill level value of a player in the skill-based electronic game network in accordance with predetermined criteria including game play history, and to (a) store a player protection classification value for the at least one player, and (b) store an access protection classification value for at least one of the plurality of games, the game access protection classification value for the at least one game; and (2) an electronic game server configured to allow or deny the player electronic access to the at least one game based upon a comparison of that player's player protection classification value and the game access protection classification value of the at least one game.
