Patent number: 12652279Abstract: A system for multi-factor location-based device verification is configured to receive a first location factor, which may include GPS data, from a client device. The system is also configured to receive one or more additional location factors, such as a second location factor and/or a third location factor, from first and/or second wireless beacons, respectively. The wireless beacons may be located within a predefined area, such as a sports book or another casino area, and the system may determine, based upon the one or more location factors, whether the client device is within the predefined area. As a result, the location of the client device may be verified based upon one or more location factors. In addition, in response to verifying the location of the client device, a new wagering account may be established and/or wagering may be initiated.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2024Date of Patent: June 9, 2026Assignee: American Wagering, Inc.Inventors: James Burns, Junqiao Ai, Stephen Denham, Mike Schear, Adam Goldstein, Brett Larson
