Abstract: A system and method for detecting potentially detrimental gaming activity and initiating action to encourage responsible gameplay or to prevent further detrimental gaming activity. The system and method may provide education (via documents or other materials informing a player of potential risks and tools available to reduce such risks), intervention (prompting player interaction with the system, providing opportunities to implement optional tools to reduce risk), and prevention (automatically preventing a player from engaging in potentially detrimental activity).

Abstract: A distributed gaming system and methods for implementing a user experience in which a user maintains a single account and single wallet for distributed gaming systems, including gambling systems, across multiple jurisdictions. A plurality of local databases and a universal database may each have account information associated with the user stored thereon. A geolocation service may detect the geographic location of a user device associated with the user. Upon detecting that the user device has moved from a first geographic location to a second geographic location, the a balance stored in a local database in the first geographic may be transferred to a local database in a second geographic location.
